Don’t Worry, God is with You!

Proverbs 3:21-26

21-26 Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life;
   don't for a minute lose sight of them.
They'll keep your soul alive and well,
   they'll keep you fit and attractive.
You'll travel safely,
   you'll neither tire nor trip.
You'll take afternoon naps without a worry,
   you'll enjoy a good night's sleep.
No need to panic over alarms or surprises,
   or predictions that doomsday's just around the corner,
Because God will be right there with you;
   he'll keep you safe and sound.

After you have read these scriptures a few times, just meditate on them!  Now, do you believe what God is telling you? Is it really possible this is true? I heard someone say they didn’t believe the Old Testament was relevant for today, and here was my question, what do you do with the scripture that “God is the same, yesterday, today and forever”?  Did He change His mind somewhere along the way? I’m sorry, but I have a real problem with that theory. I believe those promises are for us today, just as they were back then. Yes, there are things that changed, we no longer have to kill animals for the atonement for our sins. There is a better way, and only one way, and that is through Jesus Christ. When He did everything that was needed for us, He went to heaven and sat down by His Father. The Holy Spirit is here, in us!  Forever leading us, being our comforter, enabling us with His power so we can live a victorious life. Please don’t get hung up on preconceived ideas or customs you may have. All you have to do is ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you, get in the Word and began to search. He says you will find what you are looking for. Be encouraged today!
