So many Christians are plagued with so many issues that shouldn’t really concern them. A lot of people I know carry burdens they were never intended to carry and believe things about God that will never be scripturally true.
God sent Jesus to us because He loves us. So if He loves us, why would He torment us? We’ve all asked, “Why ME, God?” when bad things happen in our lives. But the real question should be, “What have You said and done that will enable me to overcome what’s happened in my life?”
There’s an old country song that goes something like this: “Gloom, despair and agony…O me! Deep dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. Gloom, despair and agony…O me!”
I always thought that was a funny song. But then I began to realize that many people (including Christians) have adopted this mindset and live their lives accordingly. But what does the Bible say about how we’re supposed to think and speak and believe about the bad things that happen to us? Well, let’s take a quick look at John 14:27.
Jesus tells His disciples, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” By using the word “let” we are fully aware that Jesus realizes that we have a choice. We can allow “gloom, despair and agony” to dominate our thoughts, or we can allow His peace to dominate our thoughts.
God always gives us choices, Beloved. Choose not to allow your heart to be troubled. Choose not to be afraid. Choose to stand on the scriptures that will help you overcome the situations the enemy brings into your life.
