What will happen tomorrow?
What course will our country be on?
God knows. Lean on Him!
We are staring at the possibility of a Communist administration who has already declared retribution against Trump followers. Should we, as Christians be fearful? No. Some proposed actions by the Leftists are awful to contemplate, but we must always look to God who holds our eternal destiny in His hands.
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” – Matthew 10:28
Our best hope on earth for staving off a corrupt and evil Communist administration and their declared retribution is President Trump. Should we, as Christians put our trust in him? No. Our trust must always be in God, although God may indeed use President Trump as the main means to wrest control from the fraudulent Leftists. And if President Trump is successful, it was only made possible through God’s power . . . and our thanks and praise should go to God first, always.
“Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.” – Psalm 146:3
“It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” – Psalm 118:9
“Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength,
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.” – Jeremiah 17:5
So, what are we to do?
1. “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” – Matthew 6:34
What happens today stays with today. There is no need to be anxious for the future because God will only bring the troubles one day at a time.
2. “The sufferings of the present are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed in us.” – Romans 8:18
Life is a lot like a roller coaster; there are ups and downs and twists we did not expect, but because of the adventure we have though life, we will live with God for all eternity. The problems are only temporary, they help us grow into who we are and who we will become.
3. “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” – Isaiah 43:2
If God is putting us though it, He will not lead us alone. His reasoning for putting us though a tough time is because it is to make us stronger, smarter and closer to Him.
4. “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24
Thanks to God, we wake up each morning. We must give him thanks for all that he does. Without him, there would not be this day. Glory be to God.
5. “I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.” – Ecclesiastes 3:12
God has put us on this earth for a reason and purpose. He wants us to be joyful and be thankful for what we have. He also knows that once we are in the kingdom of Heaven with him, all we will know is happiness.
6. “When I am afraid. I put my trust in you.” – Psalm 56:3
As some people say, “let go and let God,” which is giving your worries and burdens to Him. He will deal with them and keep us safe.
7. “He replied, ‘What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.'” – Luke 18:27
There are so many things on earth that seem impossible for us to comprehend or do, but with God everything and anything is possible. He is all knowing and all powerful, nothing can stop Him.
8. “Jesus answered, ‘You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.'” – John 13:7
Life is so crazy sometimes and it’s hard to understand why things happen. Everything happens for a reason. It may not make sense now or in twenty minutes. One day, He will come full circle and shine light onto His perfect plan that He has just for us.
9. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.” – Proverbs 3:5
He knows us better than we know ourselves. That is because He created us with our own special looks, unique talents and traits. When you give Him your trust, He will give you His guidance.
10. “…for we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
God knows where we have been and where we are going. It is all in His divine plan. By walking in faith, we are giving all of our doubts about life to Him. In return, He is giving us the support of knowing that He is there with us.
11. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” – John 10:11
God gave His only Son to us, only for Him to die on the cross for our sins. We are God’s sheep, and He is our shepherd. He would do anything and everything for us, and He does.
Thank you Bako!
So encouraging.
So many sermons I’ve heard lately have been so flat lately – but the things you’ve shared, it’s like God speaking to my heart.
Amen!
Hard times bring a hard listen. I was hanging on every word tonight!
Just finished a nine session study of l Peter. A large percentage of the Book has to do with one kind of suffering or another. Along the line of Romans 8:18, quoted above, many of the l Peter verses help keep this topic in proper perspective.
The 4th Chapter contains a verse we are familiar with; cast all of your cares upon the Lord, for He careth for you.
And there is always Romans 8: 28 to remember, wherein we are to know that all things work together for the good of those who are called for his purpose.
The Word of God is so very clear ab the good Lord knowing all ab our sorrows, be they physical or spiritual.
We do walk by faith, not by sight.
Thank you, carl. This was such a comfort to me.
Beautiful Scriptures all together in one place. Thank you, Carl.
And, we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us, those in the OT who walked by faith even though Christ had not yet come.
Hebrews 11 and 12 ties in perfectly with your Number 10: “…for we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
Heb. 11:1-2, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.”
The elders that the author talks of are then detailed, many of the heros of the OT. These mighty warriors are that great cloud of witnesses that encompass us.
Which takes me to Isa. 40:
“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!”
Says your God.“Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
For she has received from the Lord’s hand Double for all her sins.”
FAITH.
Thank You, as always, bakocarl.💟
I have nothing to add.
I can’t deny I have a heavy heart watching our President and First Lady depart.
Thank you Carl for the scripture and words of wisdom!
Thank you for a beautiful & timely word to lift our hearts to the only true source of hope, strength, & joy (even in the midst of sorrows). God Bless You & continue to equip you to speak the truth in love!
Thank you Carl for what you bring to the branches of Wolf’s tree. Many of us I am sure are in this place now. Not that we weren’t before but it really test us now. For me I will rest in his word more than ever now.
God Bless Brother.
