The Holy One of God

 

Meditating on Jesus going into the wilderness just after His being baptized by John the Baptist and before His ministry, I was drawn toward Jesus in that time period that He had much conversation with the Father of heaven. And while He had much conversation with the Father in those forty days, He also heard from the devil.

In conversations people declare their hearts! They can declare they are glad to see you or else drag their feet in greeting you. They can declare much joy, or a pain or hurtful situation. They can express the trial they are experiencing in a stressful state with much sorrow. Of they can give a message of too much information or only that which is false. Then again, there are those who choose a life without people and without speaking!

 In that wilderness Jesus walked, the devil, too, desired some conversation with Jesus. And in those forty days, it was about identity. And when Jesus returned to begin His ministry, He continued to spend time going to the Father in prayer!

Jesus had A Committed Prayer time to speak with the Father! Jesus was keeping His identity with God the Father, and His plan.

Morning time:   Mark 1:35  & in the morning, long before daylight, He got up and went out to a “deserted place”, and there He prayed. Amplified Bible

Evening time: Mark 6:46-47  and after He had taken leave of them, He went off into the hills to pray. Now when evening had come, the boat was out in the middle of the lake, & He was by Himself on the land.

Solitary Prayer time:   Luke 5:15-16 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him; and great multitudes came together to hear, & to be healed by him of their infirmities. 16 And He withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.  

The more THE  demand from people on our lives, the more we should pray! 

All Night:    Luke 6:12  Now in those days it occurred that He went up into a mountain to pray and spent the whole night in prayer to God.. 13 And when it was day, He summoned His disciples & selected from them twelve, whom He named apostles (special messengers).

Jesus chose that time in prayer finding the Father's heart to choose the 12 disciples.  Prayer had held Jesus in the mind of God. Philippians 2:5…Let this same attitude and purpose & [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]

We are to have a Prayer commitment, praying for those God has given to you and me as family members, friends, people we work with and any who is within our circle of influence.  Prayer commitment is not only for ourselves…… but for pastors of other churches, other leaders and other people’s children and not just for our own! It is in love when we, yes you and I, respond to God’s plan for them and pray!

 Prayer kept Jesus in focus to His identity in the Father, to the Father’s command in instruction to deliver the Kingdom which had come! It would also prepare Him for what was coming toward Him in His walk to deliver that Message from the Father’s heart! Identity should hold us in Jesus!

 Jesus encountered the Sanhedrin! Luke 22:66 As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe. 68 And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer me or let Me go. 69 Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.” 70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “you rightly say that I am.” 71 And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.

 Yes, the company you keep will determine where you will go in this life! Jesus even warns these people that the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God. And all they heard was what they thought to be blasphemy! That very thing is going on today in the land of which I live and most likely where you live anywhere around this world!

 Here it is also written: Matthew 26:63-65 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!” 64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!”

I love this when he the high priest asks Jesus...."I put You under oath by the living God": Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Jesus voiced an affirmation that He is the “Son of God” a title expressing His exclusive and unique oneness with God! Jesus came to separate the holy of God from the profane. He gave an affirming word of God: Luke 23:3 then Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” he answered him and said, “It is as you say.”

Identity! Identity! Identity!

 Even the disciples knew who Jesus was! They called Him the Son of God: Matthew 14:28-33  NKJV And Peter answered Him & said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 So He said, “come”. And when Peter had come out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 & immediately Jesus stretched out His hand & caught him, & said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat came & worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

If you ever have a disastrous situation occurring before you and those close to you, you will certainly come through holding out to Jesus and worshiping Him the ONE who is TRULY the Son of God!

 The Demons knew who He was! Mark 1: 21- 28 NKJV Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are-----the Holy One of God!” 25 But Jesus rebuked him saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” 26 And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey Him.” 28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

Yes, the demons knew Jesus! And they greatly desired to not be harassed by the powerful One of God!

 Kept hearing this morning: “the Holy One of God”! Then I read where a university in this nation has hired a chaplain who is an atheist. Now how does that work? How was the job listed?  How is his job description detailed? You can pray but in your own name only, you can treat people as is natural to you, and you can have worship time to worship you! I have never in my life heard of an atheist being chaplain. Have you?

An atheist believes there is no God. Do you know what God's response to that is? "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God'"Psalm 14:1.

An atheist does not pray. The atheist has no time to seek God in prayer. The Lord says in the Book of James, "You do not have because you do not ask" James 4:2.  An atheist does not read the Bible. So the average atheist is very susceptible to the devil's lies because he or she does not take time to read and study God's Word. Hopefully that does not apply to those saying they are Christ's followers today!

An atheist walks by sight, not faith. So sad too that many people including Christians should tend to walk by sight and not by faith. They fail to receive the miraculous power of God and how it came through Jesus! "Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God" Hebrews 11:6.  An atheist never gives to the Lord's work. An atheist lives only for this life. "The eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth" Proverbs 17:24.

 Interesting to truth that the religious sect did not know Who Jesus was, but demons did! When Jesus prayed, He met with people, and lives were changing.  In Jesus’ time, as in today’s culture, the world sees the “wise man” as one who will live for the moment, always living by sight, and is devoted to self.  He uses his own time for his own thing or purpose he has set to do. Jesus set about to do the Father's business on earth.  For Jesus, His own neighbors rejected Him. They saw interruption in their lifestyle, and refused Him in their own thinking and chose to carry on in their unbelief.

People were wanting to rid their plate of that which they did not like, you know like the child who will not eat their food that their mother put on the plate. They kick, scream and push the plate away till they get their way. And many in that place, like Pilate, Caiaphas or Herod would have their way but it was the way of destruction and yes death to them!

You know Herod had seen Jesus, was exceedingly glad to see Him because he, Herod, had heard many things about Jesus and Herod had hoped to see some miracle done by Him. ( Luke 23:6-12) But alas, Herod with his men of war, would treat Jesus with contempt and mock Him and send Him back to Pilate.

Do people seek out something from you that is only a part of the kingdom of God but not willing to participate because they do not want to hear God's words spoken by you?

Pilate wishing to release Jesus called out to the crowd.  And YOU know that crowd chose Barabbas (the world) and not Jesus (life eternal). So Pilate gave sentence as they requested. ( Luke 23:24) Barabbas was released and Jesus was delivered to their will. Yeah, remember that screaming child not wanting to eat what was before them, well here you have a people kicking and screaming wanting the world and not life of God!

People today are clamoring for the murderer to be put back into society and the righteous to be jailed. People are clamoring for their demands and not that of the Father Who is the Creator!

Yes, where Jesus would walk, the Holy One would not be revered by many. But His prayer time brought power, looked like grace, and caused reactions. In His teaching, the doctrine was the EXTREME when heard, and some received the Son and some refused. But His prayer was for ADVANCEMENT OF THE KINGDOM!

Jesus encountered many people on His walk from the wilderness to the Place of the Skull, where He would take His last breath at Calvary. In John 17:3 and this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, & Jesus Christ whom You have sent.  He prayed:  John 17:6 "I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

 John 17:11  Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, & I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

Yes, Jesus was no longer in the world, His heart faith was in His Father. And in John 17:26  And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."    NKJV

 In these it was words given, it is Jesus Who spoke what He spent His ministry revealing to us about God His Father. It is in this, that He keeps us through His name, both by our trusting in what it means & by the evidence revealed by living this life in faith and in obedience!  This obedience is for fellowship, that daily walk with the Lord in communion, to have God’s Word fill our hearts, to speak of our future with the Lord and yes, for that prayer life that gives voice to where we are headed. 

We live in this world, but we should not be of it.

 Holy One of God is majesty on high. Holy One of God is life eternal, that speaks truth that lives in prayer and resides in a rest. Might we be united with the Holy One of  God, to see with our eyes and understand in our hearts. United to one heart where we expect to see the astonishment in the faces of those God is touching by His presence in and through us. Before we go to participate out there, we should have the intimate time to know our Father’s heart.

Knowing not what you might encounter in the coming year, but that your steps are ordered in the Lord like Jesus: you have a voice, not a languishing voice, but one of joy and gladness, a song of praise that fills the atmosphere where the peace of God rules your heart and a boldness of authority because Jesus is Lord of your life.

It may appear bleak where you reside, but we have the Holy One of God. The world may have lock-downs, shutdowns, closed signs, wearing the latest new masks designed by some new designer; still we should not be in fear nor should we be the tired nor weary. Pray for your leaders eyes to be wide open to actually see and ears to hear and to guided by love in God by the Holy Spirit. Pray for those dealing in insanity that they would become sane again. If you know their names, those living, confess their names before the Father, and ask with that righteous desire that they would live and not die to declare the works of God

People require conversation! We were never meant to be alone! We know the Way, for Jesus pointed it out to us in John 14:1-11 they WAY HOME! To go along with Jesus is one heart with Jesus! For in Him is truth revealed and life is given in the Father. We give thanks for this revealed nature of the Father and purpose set in Jesus for we received Him and carry His authority in boldness in a walk where demons quake, the religious shake and chaos around us becomes only peace! We receive the next advancement of His kingdom. Come Lord Jesus Come!

Insulted or Despised Does not Matter

Instruction came from an angel! What would these shepherds do with that instruction? They were enraptured to see this CHILD! The miraculous appeared but it soon turned dark again. Living in the field with sheep probably brought many nights of wanting a change of life for those shepherds. And then suddenly one night an angel appears. Suddenly, the message is given and they hear of this CHILD. And they must go and see. They must do what is given in that instruction.

Did they face harassment because of what they spoke? Did they encounter some unbelief of what they saw and shared? Scripture tells us that all those who heard it marveled at those things which the shepherds told the people.

Luke 2: 13-15 & suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God & saying:14 “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.” 15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."

 Luke 2:17-18 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning the Child. 18 and all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

We cannot give goodwill to another if we have no goodwill towards God. That is, we each must have peace with God. Many proclaim Christianity but are far from Him, know nothing about Him and yet speak of a place with Him. But their mouths speak of decay, death , lack, they speak despair, and of loneliness. They speak love, but the love they carry has nothing to do with God for God is love!  You ask them about heaven, and they mention they are going! But they speak nothing about Him Who is the way, and the truth and the life! They give no words that He gave about His going back to the Father as seen in Scripture! (John 16:16-17)

Goodwill for others is cooperating with God in other people’s welfare. It is having the same kind of benevolence God has toward us as believer’s.  We are here to encourage others in His Word and by prayer. When meeting with someone either from the workplace, from church or maybe a neighbor, we are to remember that “iron sharpens iron.” And it is for that which is purposed for their life. In giving someone the word of God is for that purpose for which God has placed in them and to help them grow!

We met someone new on Sunday of the last week. He told us he had been reading diligently Hebrews 11 the Hall of Faith chapter. And we regarded that as instruction to us that we too should keep on that walk in the Hall of Faith!

Yeah, an angel might not appear, and the brilliant light may not be seen! The magnitude of angels singing in chorus the praise of God may not be heard, but there will be within the speaking that gentle nudge given by the Holy Spirit. You will hear Him speak, “you can do this!” "You can read this and learn something."  In the warmth of the words spoken, one can then move toward their future. Still others, the word can be loud and demonstrably resounding with that word "NO, don’t do that"! It can come loud and strong, like a bull in a china cabinet, still when someone is in danger the Father will speak to His child to rescue them. But many only want that soft gentle word and not the corrective one. Many want their flesh stroked and keep heading down a roadway with signs in the ditch reading: DEAD END!

But our Father does not want us to learn the hard way, you know attending the School of Hark Knocks. It it that place many attend yearly, gaining only worldly wisdom and defeat! But for you and I, we are to study and know God's Word to stay out of mistakes by the wicked or the foolish!

God still speaks but do we listen and obey! Do we go about our business or His business? Are we grateful for what God has given to us in this life? For many of us,  He gave us parents ( a father and a mother), He gave us good health, a home, He has given us teachers to teach the word of God, He has given us opportunities to work in earning a paycheck and become responsible citizens. We have been given the opportunity for long life in Him and do we seize it?

We have been given opportunity to rise and give voice for Him when others appear downcast and lost! We have been given mentors who give guidance by God’s word, to be the responsible and to teach others to do the same: BE RESPONSIBLE!

But being responsible is in that which is of God: His truth, His justice and His righteousness. It is not beating people up with mere men's words to get an agenda in place for some man's benefit. So persecution is evident when you have someone trying to push their agenda on you when there is no place for it. 

Many a wealthy person has used their wealth as a tool to harass others. And our Father God knows those who are the oppressed today! Persecution comes from those with thorns. And sometimes you might seem to be in a briar patch with some stinging going on when pricked on the skin, but in the reality you are encountering those who are without God! Obedience is what is required for following the Lord. 

He has given us purpose and it is for His glory to be sent out in His power. And as you go out be cautious of what you might submit to or bow down to. Scripture tells us to Submit to God....resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7) We are to be actively resisting the enemy as we submit to God. The devil has to be reminded of  what God actually said. So we speak God's word back to the devil like Jesus spoke to him as well! No, we do not carry on a conversation with the enemy but we do put him in his place.

In our sphere of influence: you and I will carry Jesus….He is “I Am” & He is in our midst. God is personal, living, active, all-knowing, all-wise, and all-powerful. By faith we can proclaim boldly that honoring God is more important than the praise of  men or from men! As I write this I have the grateful heart towards our Father in all His goodness. I am so grateful to HIM for all He has given to us through His Son. I am thankful to be alive in this moment of history to declare the Lord to many. I am thankful for the loving family He has placed around me to encourage and tell me to never give up! For we have hope in Jesus. He is the anchor of our soul! I am thankful for all of you that I can encourage you in this day and within this moment of time. I may not know your face but He knows your name.

In that we have hope as we look forward with a desire, we look forward with a confidence that God is on the scene and the expectation of our heart is that God is not done with us yet.  I am encouraged that my life is not going to be cut short by something that is not God honoring. 

No, the end is not yet, not for those faith people. For we, the faithful, look toward 2022. Our heads are raised high, and our body’s submit to the strength of God…to rise at His command. Like many, we faith people are the committed to God's plan, that purpose He set forth in the Beginning. (Genesis 1) His Son appeared, and it was declared Who He was. And as Jesus told them to go, we too, go in His name. We go into the business arena, into the marketplace, into the daycare, into diaper changes, public meetings, and school board meetings to display Jesus in our hearts! We write letters to the Editors and tell many of the truth that God has for those who love Him. WE give the Gospel to those who require a Savior Who is Christ the Lord!

For telling others of God’s word or even of Jesus’ return should not intimidate us. No, we have the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of us. The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is ever present. Encountering the public, a person appearing as one big thorn may give an insult or despise us because we are people of faith. They may try to cancel us, but they do not have the last word on it. They may act and stick like a thorn, but God loves them and we give them over to God. He our Father has the last word and He speaks it best!

He may not send angels to sing a song or give the praise He surely deserves but He does know my name and yours as well. He knows the hairs on our heads, not sure why, but He cares. And He gave us His truth where justice resides in the depths of His love.

For Scripture reminds us that when insulted or despised ……what is proven in truth is that the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you and I! ( 1 Peter 4:14)

And that to me is the answer to God being honored by our lives! Amen!

That Anxiety Thing!

 

Yes, what is causing you that anxiety? What is pressuring you? It seems to appear from everywhere, with people selling an agenda to selling their drugs saying it cures when it does not cure anything, but makes your body want more! 

But seriously a believer in Jesus Christ, should not have the symptoms of anxiety: Philippians 4:6 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 surpassed all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Luke 12:13-15 NKJV  13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." 14 But He said to him, "man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?" 15 And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consists in the abundance of the things he possesses."

Paul wrote this in Colossians  3:5-6 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because  of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience in you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

Things of the earth, that of man, we are to put away from us: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and covetousness which is idolatry.

Adultery in our thinking is choosing the past over the present. An anxious heart can be found when one is listening to the lies of the enemy instead of resisting the lies by the Holy Spirit. We push back by inviting the power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse our mind with Christ’s thoughts. Another example of the anxious heart is choosing to cheat others by not paying our taxes or paying what is Caesars!  Haste is moving too quickly on something you know nothing about or how to get the thing without the least amount of time and sweat. We should not be choosing to living in confusion when we can live in clarity. We are not be tormented with the impure, the evil and negative sinful thoughts of the past. We are given authority to rule now over our hearts when allowing Jesus’ name and words saturate us. We prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)    WE are Enabled “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10) ….(Philippians 4:6-7) and finally, whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, having virtue or anything praise worthy, we think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

Covetousness which is idolatry. So what that idolatry looks like today is vivid as an activity of the human heart. It begins in the heart. Is craving, enjoying, being satisfied by anything a person treasures more than God. That is an idol. It is a disordered love or that desire, a condition from a disordered heart. And it is everywhere we look in our culture. It makes no matter what country of which you live, people are the same all over the world. Culture pushes and shoves an agenda. Culture makes demands with voices of hearts choosing that which is wrong in the sight of God.

Does culture made demands on you? Do you have others making a demand on you for the wrong thing?

Haste causes anxiety or that anxious heart! Psalm 84:11 for the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Psalm 34:10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

You and I lack no good thing. Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.  We do not lack a good home to live in. We do not lack food to eat or clothing for our bodies. We participate with God in doing His commands.

Haste can appear when one has an eye of envy. When one has haste, one uses money for possessions. They appear to extend themselves beyond their paycheck and have an overuse of credit cards. There are many who desire an economic justice. They really have that heart desire to a redistribution of wealth, so that everybody has their "own" stuff. But that does not solve social problems. This is a heart dealing with avarice. It is a driving force, and comes from what man of the this world views as what is of “worth” to him or to others.  People need to get moving out of their reclining position in their living room or grandma's basement and get their backside moving toward a workplace earning a paycheck to pay his own bills. Man is responsible for himself till he takes a wife and has children. Then he has many to see over and it is done with God.

Doubt is another form of anxiety. Luke 12:28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? 29 And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. 32 Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

1 Timothy 2:5-8 NKJV 5 For there is one God and one Meditator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle---I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying-----a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 

That doubting, an inward thought that reasons things out is only our opinion. We are to have God's thoughts about us. We are to be settling on what God has spoken over us His children. Jesus is our Meditator. We are to be set in Him, and not what our opinion might be for the moment! Doubting will always come back to whether we think real thoughts that are of God and are clear or thoughts of our own heart that is confusion!

 

Fear is another thing evidence when one is in an anxious state! Fear can paralyze a person. It can cause a person into doing nothing but rolling themselves into a fetal position.  This is mentioned by men who have gone into prison. They broke the law, went through a court system and went to prison and on thus arriving there,  they melt into a fetal position.

A man or woman can fear when God does not act or answer immediately on their behalf. The person can move over into a complete motionless and quiet attitude. Although the war is still raging in their heart, explosions of thought are filling the cavity of their heart and mind, but they are only adding on more deadly fear. We are to keep in step with God, correct our wrong thinking, line up with God, repent and turn from stupid ways. God is patience. He is aware of our need or anxious thing. But our relationship must be set in Him and it is to be a faith walk. Because if we do not maintain it, then we are inviting a greater fear with apathy and procrastination. We must continue in the true knowledge of Him allowing Him to increase in our thoughts and actions. In making any purchase, from a home, an SUV or insurance, we should be talking with God about it.

Without the proper fear of God in us, there will be precious little reciprocation of His love shed abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:5). And He is the God-kind of love that should be spilling out of our hearts for others, but is it? Of late, I wonder myself sometimes.

 Philippians 4 8 reminds us to meditate on some things! Finally, my brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy----mediate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

A good report only comes from God! No strings attached, but instruction or correction will be found in that given. The Lord desires our faith to grow.

Message Bible 119: 73-80 With your very own hands You formed me; now breathe your wisdom over me so I can understand you. When they see me waiting, expecting Your word, those who fear you will take heart and be glad. I can see now, GOD that Your decisions are right; Your testing has taught me what’s true and right. O, love me and right now! ----hold me tight!

Just the way You promised. Now comfort me so I can live, really live; Your revelation is the tune I dance to, Let the fast-talking tricksters be exposed as frauds; they tried to sell me a bill of goods, but I kept my mind fixed on Your counsel. Let those who fear You turn to me for evidence of Your wise guidance. And let me live whole and holy, soul and body, so I can always walk with my head held high.

What God has given us is not taken away from us, for life in Him came through Him, through His Son and by the blood shed for our sins. Anxiety should not be a part of our life, but if it should appear, address it immediately with your mouth filled with God's word, " that we are not anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we let our requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Regardless of the circumstance, let’s not act out in doubt, haste, or fear! God has drawn near and lives in our hearts. Only the right result in right living is seen in God's peace when He truly reigns in our hearts. Amen.
