November 7, 2024 - Have you ever noticed how complicated some folks want to make religion? We live in a world of problems. Preachers even spend a lot of time pointing out the problems of our time. Yet, the world is not asking for an elaboration on the problems, rather, the world is seeking a solution to those problems.
Often we are searching for complex solutions to our present day problems and anxieties. Yet, the God of heaven, who is high and holy is not insensitive to the hurts and problems that we face. He offers a simple solution to modern day problems in every area.
People spend millions of dollars to rid themselves of stress and anxiety. Men and women spend hours upon hours with psychiatrists and drugs. Yet, the simple solution is in John 14:1. Jesus says, “Let not your hearts be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
We need to stop focusing on ourselves and focus on others. We need to follow the example of Jesus who “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38). We need to realize that real security is built upon trust in God and that God is the source of real security.
When we spend more time with the solutions provided in the word of God, and focus on the promises of God’s word, we will find that with trust in God we have a simple solution to the stress of life.
It’s something to think about... tbp
