Rest Easy

"Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?" 

MATTHEW 6:27

We are not immune from trouble and difficult periods of life. God is with you in trouble - in sadness and in hardship. Focus on God and he will focus his love on you - during the difficulty. 

There is no situation that God is not aware of. In the fire we are made to look like him. We are not born of this world in Christ - we are born new in faith and baptism of the one who lives eternal - Christ Jesus. 

There are no accidents, no worries, no concerns - nothing that God has not planned. This is truth when walking in the spirit - Christ Jesus is God - deliverer of his people - keeper of all promises. God is truth - be easy in Jesus and trust his will is greater. 

“Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.” 1 John 3:20 

“The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3 

“For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.” Proverbs 5:21 

“Don’t be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself. For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.” Philippians 1:28-29 

“But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way.” 1 Peter 3:14-16
