Tested by our Lord and tempted by the Satan. In times of tremendous danger and difficulties we must remember we are always taking a test and being tempted. He calmly risked his life for the good of others. Martin Luther stayed in his city while many others left because of the Bubonic Plague.
They remain calm and make good decisions for themselves and others. Those who live in peace won’t panic and become selfish. JEUS DID ! Don’t take the last loaf of bread if you really don’t need it. There is wisdom in taking precautions but at the same time believers are called to risk our lives for others. When people panic they become self focused and look to take care of themselves and their own. Look around and don’t miss divine your opportunities. The Lord is using these events to draw untold numbers of people to Himself. This are difficult days for every citizen on this earth. Help other Christians with the truths that are giving you peace and above all else look for divine opportunities to share the gospel. Share the reason for the hope and peace that is within you. Lead your your family and friends to real solutions that will help. Be discerning that in that in attempting to solve one problem we can create many others. But don’t fail to care for emotional, mental, and spiritual sides of heath as well. Watch out for yourself and your families physical health. Feed yourself less of the worlds wisdom and more of God’s wisdom. Live in the facts of the truth of God’s Word.
Romans 8:28-32įor those of you who may be anxious because current events, remember the words of Isaiah 26:3- 4 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in thee. God reigns over everything and has predetermined that which is good for all His kingdom. Remember we have always lived in an unstable world but our confidence and trust is only found in the sovereignty of God. Hope these help us each to practice Peace and not Panic! The following is some final points given at the end of the message. Yesterday's morning message was entitled, PANIC OR PEACE? If you would like to listen again or the first time, you may do so at Liberty's facebook page or our podcast. The way to overcome panic is to appropriate the peace our Lord offers. Our Lord purchased peace for us on the cross, Ephesians 2:13-14, Colossians 1:19-20.
I want to encourage all who read this blog particularly Christ followers to practice peace not panic. The fact is humans living in fear are apt to produce damaging and dangerous events. Humanity can become very fearful, very fast. The events of the last several weeks have reminded us that we live in an increasingly unstable and insecure world.
