John 14.1 Don’t let your hearts
be troubled. Trust in God, and trust
also in me. NLT
John chapters 14-17 are so rich and full. They are my favorites. John 14.1 always comes at the right
time. I have to remind myself that when
my heart is troubled, I do not trust
the Lord with that particular circumstance.
When my heart is troubled, the
majority of the time I want to control the situation and not give it to the
Lord. I am afraid that if I let God make
the choice it will not be the choice I would make. What do we call it when we think we can do a
better job than the Lord?
It is my opinion that if you are miserable right now about
something then you are not giving it to the Lord and trusting Him. Is this not what this life is about when you
are a follower of Jesus? Trusting? You
are not going to ask if you do not trust.
If you trust then you will have Joy.
So the questions today are,
do you trust Jesus in the situation that you are in? Or do you want to be in control? If you want
to be in control,
How is that working
for you so far?
John 16:23-24
“And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.NKJV
“And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.NKJV
