How are we truly established in life? And how do we live?
The Bible gives clarity, wisdom and truth for these vital life questions.
In John 14:6 Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life” and if we come to Him by faith he will never reject us. Jn 6:37.
As you and I trust in Jesus, He leads and directs our paths (Phl 2:13, Act 17:28, Psa 23:3). He protects and provides for us Phl 4:19, Jn 17:11-12. Angst is never part of the equation. If you feel angst in any part of life - choose to trust Jesus for it and He promises to provide rest for your soul (Mt 11:28). The Bible tells us that no one who trusts in Jesus will ever be put to shame.” (Ps 25:1, Rom 9:33, 10:11) and that as we trust in Him he will guard our hearts and minds. (Phl 4:7, Isa 26:3). I believe Jesus is waiting for you to trust Him fully.
What do I mean by trust? For we all know there are many problems in life. Trust is trust.
We can be upset by life and problems or choose to believe that God will work it out for our good - Rom 8:28, even if we make mistakes, God will work it out because He loves us (Eph 5:2, Gal 2:20, 2 Cor 12:9, 1 Jn 1:9).
Through trusting in Jesus, we become who we were created to be (Eph 2:10). We are in tune with God Himself (Jn 14:23, Jn 6:29, Heb 11:6) and our lives becomes the abundant life that God desires for us to have -Jn 10:10.
Trust in Jesus, He is for you and not against you - Rom 8:31.
See you on Sunday
