In these days of our
lock down, lock in, lock up and lock out existence there is a heart breaking
reality. The overwhelming agony of troubles and trials have driven many to
desperate measures. Alcoholism has increased; domestic violence is painfully
destroying many families, economic crisis of jobs being lost and basic needs
unmet, friendship gatherings being forbidden, sporting events and entertainment
shut down, churches prohibited from indoor worship of God and Bible Studies,
and some people drowning in the depression of hopelessness have ended their
lives.
What possible answer can we find to help us in and through these uncertain and difficult times? What answer can we share to give people hope that there is a future to live for? Science is not the answer, nor is education, politics, philosophy, government, religion or anything man can devise on his own. But there is an answer!
What is the answer:
“Jesus told him I am the way…..” The way God the Father provided for us is God
the Son. And how we respond to him will determine whether we endure and escape our troubles and trials. The following is not a formula but the truth based on the authority of God's word and promise.
Focus on Jesus – “Looking to Jesus” Hebrews 12:2
Faith in Jesus – “….Trust in ME….” John 14:1
Follow Jesus – “the LORD is my Shepherd…..He leads me…” Psalm
23:1-2
The way through and the way out of troubles and trials is in Jesus, but in order for us to experience his deliverance we must accept him as our Lord and Savior. “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 (NLT)
Thank you heavenly Father for your love in sending Your Son to be our Savior. Thank you Lord Jesus for your willing obedience in sacrificially providing salvation for us. And thank you Holy Spirit sealing and confirming that salvation by your wittiness in our heart. Thank you for deliverance.
