The Lord Jesus Christ is the
Only Answer to the Trials and Storms of Your Life
by Sam Sweg
| Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him
who believes." |

(Mark 9:23) |
When you are in a big trial or circumstance
and you give it all of your attention, it then becomes alive inside of you.
All you can see is the very circumstance you are trying to get out of.
Colossians 3:1-2 encourages those who trust in the Lord: "If then you were
raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting
at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the
earth." No matter what circumstance or trial comes before you. When you
set your eyes and heart on Jesus, then you will see Him instead of the
circumstance. When your eyes and heart are on Him, then His Deliverance, Power
and Love becomes alive inside of you. In Matthew 14:27-31we find the story of
Jesus and Peter walking on water:
"But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,
"Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." And Peter answered
Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."
So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he
walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord,
save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and
said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
To Believe means you trust and rely on the
Lord Jesus Christ in every circumstance or storm in your. Then He will
deliver you out of all your troubles. When your eyes and heart are on Him,
you give Him free reign to move mightily in your life. You stop the power
of God Almighty in your life when you look and dwell on the storms of life
instead of Him!
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
no evil;
For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. |
