Stife and Worry

Throughout life, there are events and occurrences that will cause worry or strife. As believers in Christ, we have to decide how we are going to react to those events. We could be so overcome that we completely retreat to inaction, or we could pretend that nothing bothers us at all no matter how grievous. Most of us land somewhere between those two places. We know or at least we should that we have an advocate in Christ that will ensure that no matter what happens in our life, we can survive and even thrive. He looks at our overall circumstances instead of just the immediate situation to establish our next steps.

We must begin to rely on Christ and His Directions during all times in our lives. Not just the bad, but the good and the choices that we must make. If we cast our cares on Him, He will care for us. Here is the rest of that thought.

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: I Peter 5:8-9 [KJV]

Be Encouraged

Martin
