"His Voice Today"
August 21
🔸️ Father's love removes anxiety! 🔸️
He never fails to see a sparrow die and fall to the ground... He never fails to see a hair fall from our head! He who gave up His own Son for us will also give us all other "things" with him! (Romans 8:32). He will never keep anything, after saying “no” to us. Yes, "all things are ours" (1 Corin.3:22).
No temptation has fallen on us except what is common to mankind... never it'll fall on us ! It is guaranteed by God (1 Corinthians 10:13). This guarantee is not valid for only a few years.... it is guaranteed for the rest of our lives! 'A Judas Iscariot' too was used as a weapon in the hands of our loving Father, to accomplish His purpose for us!!
Therefore, when adverse circumstances interfere in our life course, we don't need to take up the sword, as did Peter, who drew his sword at Gethsemane that day! On the contrary, just as Jesus behaved as a true king, so also we can do with dignity and commit ourselves to 'whatever happens'! Jesus stood before Pilate and said, "Unless you are given from heaven, you have no authority over me" (John 19:11). Today we too can look the world surrounding us and all its dwellings and can say "the same words that Jesus said"!!
God plans "every" event in life for our benefit. That is why there is no room for anxiety or fear in the life of a true disciple of Jesus! Anxiety and fear are sins... Do you know why? They come from an unbelieving evil heart!! If we claim to have belief but have anxiety and fear with us, we are deceiving ourselves. The truth is not in us! Jesus has rebuked His disciples many times for this unbelief.... because He saw that it was this unbelief that created anxiety and fear in them!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! As we are in the care of your perfect love, have mercy on us so that no incident can cause our lives to immerse by worries; In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
