Writing 4 Friday...6/18/20..."Who Told You?

Good Morning,

Today we are thinking and writing about what the Trinity t shares and teaches us. Karen wrote, "Jesus himself told us! His assurances are such a beautiful blessing. His presence and guidance get us through everything. The love of God carries us through this life and into the next, where no problem or crisis will ever occur again."

God is so good to us sharing the things we need to know to live successfully. WE need to work hard at learning from Him.

May the information you get bless you!

Today' Devotional"Who Told You?

How often do we let fear overcome us? We let a nasty, or potentially nasty, situation be fuel for our minds with permission to go on a tangent. We then envision one thing after another, each one worse than the last, that could go awry. We find ourselves so upset we can scarcely control our thoughts any longer. The evil one hops on the bandwagon to spur us on in those thoughts that lead us deeper into the mire and farther away from trusting God to help us.

To prevent this, the answer is one we know only too well, but at times need to jog our memories. Turn to God at once. The moment a real or potential problem or crisis arises, turn to the Lord immediately. He will give you the strength needed to deal with it and He is right there with us.

“The mind governed by the flesh is death, 

but the mind governed by the Spirit
is life and peace.”  

Romans 8:6

Tell satan to get behind you in the name of Jesus, and he will turn and flee from you. You can then calmly and lovingly turn it over to the Lord. You can pray knowing He hears you and your mind can be free from fear. You will find peace in His love and comfort in His promises.  We need never allow ourselves to listen to the one who wants to destroy us. Forget the downside and look up in complete trust, keeping your mind fixed on Jesus. It’s a choice we make ourselves. 

Christ told us Himself...

“I have told you these things, 

that in me you may have peace.

In the world you have trouble;
 but cheer up! 

I have overcome the world.”  

John 16:33.

Isn’t it wonderful? Jesus himself told us! His assurances are such a beautiful blessing. His presence and guidance get us through everything. The love of God carries us through this life and into the next, where no problem or crisis will ever occur again.

Loving Father, 

Thank You for all the assurances of 

Your love and protection that You bless us with. In Your word we stay calm and at peace. With Your presence we are comforted and strengthened. There is nothing we can’t face knowing You are there. Help us to remember to turn to You first and avoid the destructive snare of the evil one. Our answer to everything is You! In Jesus’ name.

Amen!
