Men like us experiences a lot of
hardships in life. There is no time that we don't have a problem. We all have
problems in work, school, family, money and friends. Sometimes we feel that
this is never ending. But choosing not to worry is a choice and it is your decision
to trust God always that everything will be alright. I am reminded by the verse
in the bible in Matthew 6:25-34 (ESV):
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about
your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what
you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor
gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of
more value than they?27 And which of you by
being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[g] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive
and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O
you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What
shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and
all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be
anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for
the day is its own trouble.
Let us claim that promise of God that everything that
we need is provided, we just need to put our 100% trust in Him. Let us have a
calm spirit and choose not to worry in all the things that we may encounter.Let us have a peaceful heart in walking in our faith.
Peace is not something
external and it is not given by the world. Peace is from within you it reflects your
acceptance to Christ as your Lord and Saviour and you will receive eternal
peace. Peace is already there you just need to choose to be confident, choose
to be brave and choose to be become a new version of yourself of trusting
the Lord in whatever situation you are in. As written in John 14:23 (ESV),
that God gives us peace not what the world gives.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to
you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be
troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Therefore,
we should never be afraid to face the world full of trouble. Our only weapon is
faith, trust and confidence from God that He will never forsake us. Peace is
something that you do in a calm manner. You just need to pause for a while and
reflect before making any decisions. Always seek answers from the bible. Do not
lean on your understanding but always refer to God’s words in the bible
(Proverbs 3:5, ESV).
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean in your own understanding.
