“God is our refuge and strength, a very present

March 22nd – 31st
Scripture
Reading: Psalm 46; Matthew 11:28; Isaiah 26:3-4
Put Anxiety and Fear to Rest
Whenever there is
something globally going on it often causes an uprising in fear or panic. People become anxious, uneasy and heavy burdened
not knowing how others may react in a crisis.
Their spirit finds no rest
or comfort, because their confidence lies within the abilities of man for
answers. However, those who have
believed and trusted in Jesus as Savior do not need to get caught up in fear or
the unrest of the world. We rely on
something better.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present
help in trouble.
Therefore, we will not fear.” (Psalm 46:1-2a NKJV)
Our hope, confidence
and comfort are in Christ, who promises (emotional and physical) rest for the
weary and burdened. Nothing we
experience is beyond the hand of God to correct. Although the world may see chaos, we can
experience true peace from the Holy Spirit if we take our cares to the Lord in
prayer.
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is
stayed on You,
because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for YAH, the LORD,
is everlasting (Rock of Ages) strength.” (Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV)
Christ said that in
this world there would be tribulation. He made provision for us and explained
what we are to do. Jesus wants us to bring
our concerns, anxiety and fear to Him, because He has the solutions.
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden
and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. (I will ease and relieve and
refresh your souls.)
(Matthew 11:28 AMPC)
In other words, it’s
as if Jesus said, “Come to me. I will
give you rest that comforts and peace at heart so you will relax as I work this
for good.”
Instead of listening
to the negative news, open your bible and put your faith in God’s word for
deliverance. He is waiting on you right
now. Jesus is calling … come to me for the rest that is waiting for you.
God is aware of the
situation and has provided help through Jesus, so put all anxiety and fear to
rest. Trust in the Lord to refresh your
spirit, body and soul during times of trouble. (cw)
