Let Not

 Happy Sunday!

“Don’t let this rattle you. You trust God, don’t you? Trust me."(John 14:1 Message).

Jesus was telling the disciples all that was going to happen in the next few days.  He told them that he would be arrested, beaten, and killed. He told them that they would all abandon him.  BUT even after all the frightening truths he shared, he encouraged them to "Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled"!  Can't you just imagine their faces?  I imagine they were thinking, "Jesus everything is falling apart and you want us to not be distressed or agitated?" 

That's Right!  Jesus is still saying to us, "Don’t get lost in despair; believe in God, and keep on believing in Me.(Voice).  No matter what happens in the world it is possible to live Worry Free.  The Apostle Paul wrote, "Do not fret or have any anxiety about ANYTHING, but in every circumstance and in EVERYTHING, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God."(Philippians 4:6 Amplified).

Don't miss this!  John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."(KJV).   Jesus is the Living Word.  Everything He said has and will come to pass.  He is also called the "Bread of Life"(John 6:35).  When we study, meditate on, and believe the Bible we are ingesting, digesting, and being nourished by the Word.  The Word we know intimately will set us Free.(John 8:32).  Free from Sin, free from Poverty, Free from Fear, and free from Sickness and Disease.(Psalm 103).

Jesus never commands us to do anything that we can't do.  If he says we can do it, we can do it.

Love and prayers, Cynthia
