TROUBLE DON’T LAST ALWAYS SO, LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED!

Let me encourager you today from John 14:1. "'Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.'"Read the whole chapter. Jesus is telling us that if we believe in Him , let not our HEARTS be TROUBLED. While He is away, He left the comforter to comfort us.

Joseph Prince says, A troubled and fearful heart works like fingers that clamp down hard on a water hose. The supply of water is flowing from the tap, but little or nothing is coming out at the other end of the hose. God’s ever-present supply of blessings toward you is like the water flowing freely from the tap. But you don’t see the blessings when you allow your heart to be gripped by worry or fear.
So when fearful, anxious thoughts come, remind yourself of Jesus’ words: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Even when things appear to get worse, say, “Lord, I refuse to worry about this. In the midst of all this, I see the finished work of Christ. He said, ‘It is finished!’ So my child’s healing is accomplished. My marriage is blessed. My debts are cleared. I will let not my heart be troubled by these things.” The Comfort of Faith (v. 1)
Faith is the foundation of true comfort. Faith frees , allows us to  overcome  and causes us to always remember that God will never forsake us (John 8:24; Heb. 11:6; 1 Sam. 12:22). We can overcome all things (Phil. 4:13; Matt. 21:18-22). What a comforting thought that is for all the faithful.
 

PRAYER: Lord help us to learn how to lean on you in everything, especially our troubles, In Jesus name, Amen.
