The Lord is never surprised by the difficulties that we experience. God never says, "Wow!, I never saw that coming." The Lord knows all things from the very beginning to the very end and everything in the middle. There is absolutely nothing that catches the Lord off guard. We can take comfort that the Lord's thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are greater than our ways.
We may be surprised about something that occurs in our lives that we weren't expecting, but the Lord knows all about it and He will be there to help us through it no matter what it is. Sometimes life is stressful and hard. We were told by Jesus Himself that in this world we will have troubles and troubles sure do come at the most inconvenient of times.
Jesus also encouraged us by telling us to take heart because He has overcome the world. We need to turn our eyes upon Jesus to find encouragement and peace. There are many people in this world that are trying to find peace. There are many people that have noisy souls and they have no rest.
There is only one place where we can find rest and peace and that is by having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Peace will never come to this world or to any individual with out Jesus Christ. People won't find peace in a liqueur bottle or a pill bottle. A person won't find peace in a syringe that they stick in their arm. Those things will never bring lasting peace. Those things will only bring pain and torment and more noise to one's soul.
There is a cure to the noise and lack of peace in a person's heart and life. That cure is Jesus Christ. People need Jesus. When we come to know Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior He gives us His peace by pouring out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
Some people don't think it is right for other people to tell them how to believe, but people need to hear the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ. Every person needs to have the opportunity to be saved and there is only One Name under Heaven in which people must be saved by and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe I have been called to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I am trying to do that with my blog and I try doing that as I live my life as a follower of Jesus Christ. I am not perfect I know. I fail a lot. I am not a very good example at times. I am still learning and hopefully growing in the Lord everyday. I want the whole world to know that God loves them and He made a way for them to find forgiveness of their sins by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on a Cross for their sins. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and is at the right hand of the Father in Heaven interceding for us in prayer. One day the Lord Jesus will come back to the earth as the King of kings and Lord of lords and He will bring the Kingdom of God to full completion upon the earth.
Those who have repented of their sins and confessed to the Lord their sins and have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior by faith will be forgiven of their sins because they have trusted what Jesus did for them on the Cross. Jesus took the punishment that we so rightly deserve.
We believers in Jesus Christ have a home in Heaven that is being prepared for us. We believers in Jesus Christ will be with the Lord in Heaven for all eternity because we are trusting in His finished work on the Cross. Those who have rejected Jesus Christ (making no decision is the same as rejecting Him) will be sent into a literal hell outside the presence of Lord God Almighty for all eternity.
Time is running out for the people of this world. People need Jesus. They need to hear that God loves them and He wants to have a relationship with them and that is only available through Jesus Christ. A person who trust Christ will find true everlasting peace that will never go away.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Our world is not a peaceful place.
We need Your peace.
We come to You O Lord Jesus for You are the only One that can give us true peace.
This world needs You Lord Jesus.
Empower each one of us to tell someone about Jesus.
Help us to read the Bible more and grow closer to You so people will see You in us.
Help us to be more loving and caring and bold.
Empower us to live for You through Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
