God Speaks I Listen

Psalms 56:3-4  When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.  In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?

God speaks I listen and share this with you today……..

People are just going crazy and killing people for little and unsound reasons.  Malls, schools, movie theaters, stores, colleges, office buildings and just about anywhere can become a killing ground.

1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  The devil’s control of an unsanctified mind could affect us.

Those who do not have Christ residing in them are prey for the enemy (the devil) who will get them to do any evil act.   Innocent people are victims in the wake of their terror.

What can we do to protect ourselves?  Of course we need to use plain old wisdom and judgment.   We need to be alert at all times… but even then you can just become an innocent victim.  What should we do then?

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

We need to be concerned about our soul!!!!  When you are a Christian… you don’t have to walk around thinking about what would happen if our body becomes so damaged that our life would end because we know our best new second life will start right away. Jesus told the thief on the cross…”Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43).  Jesus is saying here that when we die we will immediately go to heaven.  So we know we’ll be great.

Jesus is there to help you. Precious Lord take my hand lead me on, let me stand!!!

I want to say that although this world is becoming increasingly dangerous….we should not be walking around in great fear because:

1. We have angels surrounding us.
2. We are under Gods care.
3. God provided grace for anything we have to go through.
4. God also has given us The Holy Spirit to give us comfort.
5. We know we’ll never be separated from God’s Love.
6. Jesus provides peace in the midst of any storm.
7. When our soul is anchored in the Lord nothing can sink our ship.
8. No weapon formed against us (servants of God) will prosper.
9. God will provide a way out of our troubles.
10. The Lord promised to never leave us or forsakes us

Things will happen because of the sin in other people’s lives,  natural disasters, and unfortunate events that will just naturally occur.  We should not confuse these naturally occurring events with anything else.  The bible says we are going to have many trials in our lives and this is going to happen to Christians and non-Christians.  We all are going to die at some point from something.  God doesn’t want us to dwell on this.  We would never want to leave our house if we did.

We must live our lives and walk around with confidence in our God.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

2 Corinthians 4:17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Psalms 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalms 56:3-4  When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.
