Whenever we're going through a rough patch in life and decide to put our trust in God and call out to Him, He can calm our heart, mind and spirit. God can keep us from worrying about the people and circumstances that surround us. He wants to help us live in His confidence and be renewed with hope and joy!
Be anxious for nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication,
with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
We should strive to replace any fears and anger with the Peace of God.
Let's stay encouraged to keep our focus on Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith.
...and let us run with endurance
the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before Him
endured the cross, despising the shame,
and has sat down at the right hand
of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Let's cast our gaze upon Jesus and rediscover all that he wants us to do daily. He will lovingly put away all wrong thoughts and keep us from doing wrong actions. Through the love of Christ, we can always have a relationship with him and once again desire to be a steady, strong and godly person who is a pleasure to be around and a loving witness of God's love, mercy and glory.
May we be an instrument of God's peace today. In Jesus' hopeful name I pray, Amen.
John 3:2 states
This man (Nicodemus) came to Jesus by night
and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are
a teacher come from God;
for no one can do these signs
that You do unless God is with him.
Nicodemus called Jesus a "Teacher come from God'' while Jesus would end up referring to Nicodemus as "the teacher of Israel" (John 3:10). Using today's terminology, Nicodemus could have been on par to being the teacher of the year in Israel. Nicodemus noticed that Jesus was superior to him and complimented him. Jesus was often called Teacher.
Like how a teacher gives us information we don't know yet, Jesus will teach us things we don't know yet about the Father. Like how a teacher can help us solve some classroom problems and become more effective in life, Jesus can lead us out of our troubles and make us into effective people. Christ is the way, truth, and life!
