"His Voice Today"

🔸️ There is no place for "Depression" in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus! 🔸️
Nowadays few people pointing out the example of Elijah, who was tired and wanted to die, to justify their exhaustion. But Elijah, who fell into the snare of exhaustion, or David, who fell into adultery, are neither our model nor our forerunners! Yes, the Lord Jesus alone is the beginning and the end of our faith! He was never tired in His soul! His soul was never possessed by dried witchcraft or darkness! Thus we are called to "walk as Jesus walked" (1John 2: 6) and not to walk as Elijah did!
But many born-again believers today do not believe that they can "walk as Jesus walked." Because they still do not understand the New Covenant established by Christ. Even the great prophets who lived under the Old Testament could not realise that the power of the Lord in Christ could elevate them into a higher life; They not at all grasped the power of that Gospel. (Matthew 11:11).
While the Scripture indicates about us, it tells "We are in the World as Jesus is" (1John 4:17)! That is why we must run our Christian race "towards Jesus, who endured the Cross for the joy that was set before him"! (Hebrews 12:1,2). If we do, we can always be full of jou in the Lord! (Philippians 4:4). Not only that, but also we will have a life of without any 'depression' and without 'worrying about anything'. (Philippians 4:6; Matthew 6: 25-34).
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! May we, too, have the grace to follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ faithfully, who walked without any "depression" amidst the terrible situation; In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
