Really?!?
So people speak this: Well really hoping no trouble with the car, knock on wood!
So people think this will ward off any difficulties?
Philippians 4:4-7 NKJV 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men, The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Our character and conduct begin in the mind. Our minds must be made up to do what God has asked us to do. We are to rejoice always and pray continuously. Within our minds we prove His word out. Within our minds, we dwell on prayer and joy in the Lord being anxious for nothing. This faith walk is an adventure and just when you think you have some amount of knowledge, something rears its ugly head, and for a moment we must choose again whom we will serve.
Will it be the flesh creature or actually be our will to serve the Lord with gladness in our hearts? All of our circumstances are known to God, we learn to be content, knowing He knows all things. Responding in prayer, we throw our trust into His capable hands and expect great freedom for our lives.
BUT we must believe Him. We must believe that when we give that Worrisome circumstance to Him, He will see our faith move forward and be active daily understanding there is a work in progress. Looking into the rear view mirror will not help one to reach forward, for it is of an earnest effort that we keep focused on what is before them and not dwelling on yesterday. That forward look is toward the brightest light possible. Sunshades anyone?
Yet we are to be those marked in maturity, seekers of the good in the Lord, mindful that He is mindful of us and has got our backs. Our INTERCESSOR is always going at it. He is fixed on the purpose for which He went to the Cross and ours is to expect Him to answer. And sometimes the answer may not look the way we expect it, but we are not to fear. Wonderful and faithful is He, the One Who loves us and shows us the way through!
2 Peter 1:2-4 NKJV Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the diving nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
In pursuing God and His holiness, we recognize that unrighteous behavior. By His word, we recognize when the flesh is crawling and wanting its way. But God is our TEACHER! In Him there is no darkness and when we speak out His words in the promises, we testify that He is truth and truly He guides in the way, the truth and life that He is to us! Living holy is saying to our minds line up with God, align to His way of doing, and then we are safeguarded against the false, against those who would try to snare us into stupid thinking.
Receive all that God our Father has provided. Abiding in Him, there are no worries only benefits. Persevere, and recall His faithfulness to you in the past but participate with Him in your present moment. Be assured He is standing by and ready so that you will be found in peace. For it is by His power, you and I will live without worry for we walk today in a holy lifestyle that is marked with grace and the power of Almighty God! Amen.
