Matthew 11:28-30 – Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
God’s Word gives us the answer to what we should think about. If we think positive thoughts we will be happy and contented no matter what our circumstances.
Thinking negatively will only cause us to be anxious and worry. Negative thinking is not trusting in God.
“Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He’s sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.” Dr. Charles Stanley
Psalms 34:4 – I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Isaiah 41:10 – Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
2 Timothy 1:7 – For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Many people, even Christians, are fearful. Illness, natural disasters, family problems and finances are all things that cause us to fear.
But God is real. He tells us to fear not. It is a matter of faith and trust. Faith comes by hearing and hearing is the Word of God.
We need to read the Bible everyday and meditate on what God tells us. Pray and tell Jesus our fears and concerns. Find fellowship with other believers. Listen to Pastors and teachers who present the truth.
Fear and confusion are not from God. Confess our fear to Him and He will bring peace.
The SOS Events office and homes of many volunteers are in the path of the storm named Elsa.
Storms can be dangerous. Fallen trees, floods, wind, rain and tornadoes are results of this storm.
What do we do during a storm? Get prepared. Have food and water on hand and listen to instructions. Then trust God to bring us through unharmed.
Storms in your life, you need preparation to survive.
In times of your storm, be prepared. Get ready by reading God’s Word everyday, praying for guidance and resting in God’s promises. He will give you peace and bring you through the storm.
