The answer
to our strength, is the Lord. We who always need encouraging word to keep
ourselves in the will of the Lord will always find help in the word of God.
Jesus Christ has giving us the a basic guide to leading our steps towards a
peaceful relationship with him.
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the
LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not
faint.
First, and
most important is, where is your heart? If your heart is in the Lord living a
holy and, a truly devoted Godly life, we will always find our strength. Psalms 28:7 The LORD is my strength
and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I
praise him.
If we break
the ties of the old worldly man we will find peace with God. Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
God looks at the heart.
I Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look
not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused
him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward
appearance, but the LORD looketh on the
heart.
Labor in the Lord where it counts the most. When we as believers in Christ, and his uncompromisable word of the true word of God, and the gospel that was preached through Jesus Christ leads us to see where we lack our responsible laboring in the Lord.
The lord is looking for people with a
desire to help deliver the message of salvation to lost souls.
Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The
harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye
therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his
harvest.
I Corinthians 11:31-32 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should
not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we
should not be condemned with the world.
Jesus spoke
and said, These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
If we labor in the wrong areas of our
life this will cause an unbalanced relationship with Christ, Jesus. The scale
will tip where you have more effort. If we apply our effort towards the Gospel
giving to us we will find our peace with the Lord and, find rest unto your
soul.
We cannot
take on the world, and its concern by ourselves this will cause grief. Let us
put it in the hands of the Lord.
Isaiah 55:8 For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD.
2 Timothy
2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this
life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen.
Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the
LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be
moved.
Don't let your guard down and, allow
Satan to feed you with the cares of this world and, take your joy. If you do,
you will fall into the snares of Satan net, and you will find yourself worst in
sin then from the beginning.
2 Peter 2:20
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the
knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled
therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Bear the whole armor of the Lord, and
you will be a winner over Satan.
Ephesians 6:
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the
Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put
on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,
to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the
shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of
the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
