Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:1-2)
A person may be poor; they may live in what they or someone else call a shack. Some may live in card broad boxes, and others may
wonder why it should be thus all the day long, but there is one thing for sure
for all of you that are saved you will one day live close to the throne of God.
Do not despair, because there is hope beyond tomorrow. There will be a time
when there will be no more tears, no more pain, no more burdens to bear, no more sorrow, no
more trips to the graveyard. What a day that will be when our Jesus we shall
see.
If you read some other literal translations that
are on the market today they would read do not let your heart shudder or tremble, [From fear]. Well, this is indeed a
hard command because these days we have so much to shudder or tremble
about. It is very easy for a person to be troubled in these unsettling
times. Even much more as that day approaches. Think about it. We are
troubled by the economy and how it is going to affect us. There are so many
people out of a job these days, even in your own church congregation. The cost
of everything is going up every day and it makes parents who do not have any
source of income wonder how they can make ends meet. People on retirement worry
about their social security and will it be there the next time. Worrying will
go from one thing to the other. It is natural for man to worry about things
that are out of his control, but worrying will get you no place in this life.
There is only one way and that is to trust and obey, for there is no other way.
What is trust? Trust is knowing, with all your heart that God
will answer your prayer. Trust is the conviction, the assurance, and the
certainly that God will indeed work in all things that matter in the lives of
His people for their good.
So let me leave you with this thought when you are worried,
scared, or uneasy thoughts come your way, remind yourself of what Jesus said; let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Even when things appear the worse have
faith because you are a child of God.
