Fearful times

We live in a time of emotional and mental terror..a time of not knowing , not understanding, not seeing ..

Well meaning sayings like» do not worry» will not make us worry less, and « do not fear»..will not make us fear less.

In the bibel I find the word «worry « only a few times, and always after the Word : therefore..so I read what was written before the Word : therefore..

« a fool lays up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God…THEREFORE: do not worry! « ..meaning do not live to collect things ,fearing you will not have enouch, only a fool do that, - live to become rich in Jesus, in God.

Luk 10 and matt 6. There is a choice to make her: should I live to collect things money can buy, or should I choose to pursue becoming rich in God , in Jesus.? And how do I do this?

Martha was a Friend of Jesus, who worried about many things most women worry about, and I am sure Mary , another friend of Jesus did too, but Mary made a choice to sit down at the feet of Jesus and listen to Him speak. Spending time with Jesus was a smart choice, and Jesus told Martha that Mary had chosen well by doing so.

To choose to sit down with Jesus in the minst of your worries and fears and talk to Him about those worries and fears which fill your mind and heart will enable you to listen after a Word of feed back from Him. What He say to you will quickly melt away any worry or fear, and bring to you faith and comfort. By doing this again and again we build a relationship with God and faith and trust in Him is growing inside us, we are becoming RICH in God.

In doing so what we have not will matter less, since worrying mostly is about not having enough basic needs met , or loosing what we do have ( things, work, Health, Kids, partner )

The Road to a heart and mind who trust in God can be a long Road, but as we work on building a rich relationship with Jesus, with our Daddy in heaven , our trust and faith in Him will grow, will become part of us more and more.

Fear not is also often written and spoken as a well meaning word , but it will not make anyone fear less. Every season in life is not a happy season, there are times to worry and times to fear, and when we do we should be honest about it, not faking some smiles.. jesus did not say « fear not!» as if it is a crime to fear, no it was meant to comfort you by saying :» fear not, because I am here with you. I am here : I SEE, I know, I understand, I am here to help,give strenght, give wisdom, give guidance, provide, protect,deliver from evil.«

Jesus is not saying to us that we are to pretend that there is no evil to fear, but we are to turn to HIM and pray:» deliver me from evil».. when I see no way out, I go to Him and ask Him for a way of escape.

When I have no food,no basic needs met I ask Him for my daily bread, knowing He is my Father who loves me and wants to provide.

As We trust Him to be our CARE giver, we will see more and more of His care, and we will be able to truly say: « Jesus is truly with Me «

It is never about denying worry or fear, but about admitting it all to Jesus..tell it as it is, and to listen after His voice, His words to me, and then obey His guidance. .this is how you become rich in God, in your relationship with Him.

To deny your worry or your fear will only make you worry or fear more. To admit it to Jesus, but NOT obey His voice of guidance to you will make you miserable,but to listen after His voice to find comfort and help and guidance ,which you obey,will free you and build trust in God in you.

One day you will be face to face with evil, but knowing who is with you, you will not fear. And one day you will be face to face with « not having enough» but you will not worry , because you know WHO is enough, and trust HIM to provide.

To always be happy is a recipie for fakeness,..life is not always a happy place, some days or seasons are for worry, fear, sorrow, loneliness, anger, ..As we Learn to become real people infront of a living God – seeking after Him, then and only then will we become people of faith and boldness,knowing who we believe in. No more settle down in worry or fear,but settle down in His presence, His heart, and He will make His cosy home in me

The one who is with YOU is mighty to save, therefore…
