Look to the Lord Jesus!

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33

Look to the Lord Jesus!
When we look at the waves of time and circumstance, it is easy for fear and worry to creep into our hearts. But this need not be so. The Lord Jesus encourages us to look to Him in the midst of affliction and find peace with Him.

Perhaps we are afraid of what is coming. We fear for our jobs because the economic situation has worsened. Or we are afraid of an operation and ask ourselves: What will happen? The Lord knows about our fear and encourages us: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God” (Isaiah 41:10). In the difficulties we experience, He never leaves us alone for even a second. He assures us, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).

We may lie awake at night, tossing and turning on account of our worries. We can’t find rest because the problems of everyday life are weighing heavily on us. We don’t know how to fulfil our tasks of the next day. Our Lord knows the worries that rob us of sleep. He calls out to us: “They shall not be ashamed who wait for Me” (Isaiah 49:23). Looking to the future, He urges us: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things” (Matthew 6:34).

Today’s reading: 1 Samuel 24:1-23 · Philippians 2:19-30

NO FOOD FOR THE LAZY MAN

Laziness is not a Christian virtue in any way. Our Lord Jesus Christ made this clear by His lifestyle of hard work while here on earth. A lifestyle of laziness is outrightly rejected in Scriptures typified by today's Bible reading. It is amazing that some people are still expecting God to rain manna on earth! It does...More
