Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of
thine heart. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind.
Today's message is designed to provide
words of encouragement because as we travel through life's ups and downs, we
sometimes get weary and need a warm smile or a handshake or even just a kind
word or two.
That said we witness adversity
daily and often wonder why or what is going on; well, we live in a fallen world
where Satan is busy seeing who he can destroy. Be encouraged because the Lord
God did not give us a spirit of fear, but the power of love and a sound mind. A
sound mind is one that knows right from wrong good from evil. Exercising a
sound mind that is focused on Jesus, Satan, and his evil schemes will not harm
us. See, Satan wants us to be burden down with fear and weary, but take heed to
our scripture text when it asks us to delight ourselves in the Lord, and He
will give us the desires of our hearts. We desire peace, love, and harmony.
God's peace surpasses the world's understanding and peace.
Remember the words recorded in
Isaiah 54:17a which states, No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn.
Be encouraged; God has us
in His hands.
