God's care and faithfulness

-

 

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55,22 (ESV)

1. The Lord provides for us.

This means that we are allowed to entrust our worries, fears, and burdens to God. He invites us to not carry our burdens alone, but to hand them over to Him because He cares for us.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6-7 (ESV)


These verses encourage us to trust in God's care and faithfulness, instead of allowing ourselves to be overwhelmed by our worries. God promises to stand by us in difficult times.

Prayer is the door out of the prison of worries (H. H. Gollwitzer).

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 
Romans 12:12 (ESV)


2. Do not worry about anything.

Parts from a morning prayer (from the magazine Lydia):
  • O God, I am truly grateful to You for this new day, for every hour, every minute that You grant me. 
  • Please free me from 
    • all fears of the future, 
    • from all worries of the next day, 
    • from all weaknesses, when Your strength is available to me. 
  • So be with me on this new day and use me as You will. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Paul encourages the Christians in Philippi. Do not worry! "Worrying means bringing the problems of tomorrow into today." How often do we worry needlessly, because things turn out differently than we think.

God has promised that He will never withdraw His help from us. He will take care of us so that we will lack nothing. According to Hebrews 13:5

Often we worry about things that later turn out to be completely unnecessary. We worry about what the future holds, what could happen if this or that situation were to arise. Worries and fears about the future can truly imprison us.

3. Song: (IN LOVE WITH JESUS 2-Song number 99)

Verse 1a
I trade my worries, I trade my shame. I exchange them for the joy of the Lord.
Chorus:
I am pressured, but not crushed; persecuted, but not abandoned; knocked down, but not defeated; blessed despite the curse, for His promise stands, His joy remains my strength. Even if the suffering lingers through the night, the day brings His joy.



4. Jesus' Invitation

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11,28 (ESV)

Live with Jesus in complete trust in God. He knows our lives and directs them. This knowledge gives great confidence. No matter how much we may worry, no person can add even a single span to their life. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet here, today the Lord helps.

Gleichnis vom vierfachen Ackerfeld

-
Bild
  https://waechter-media.de/java/saemann.html Die vier verschiedenen Böden können als Bild für unser Herz betrachtet werden. Gottes Wort ist die Saat die in unser Herz fällt. Teile fallen auf guten Boden, es geht auf und bringt viel Frucht. Teile fallen auf den harten Weg, und Satan raubt alles direkt, da mein Herz an manchen Stellen hart und undurchdringlich geworden ist, weil Menschen auf ihn herumgetrampelt sind. Teile fallen auf steinigen Boden, wo wenig Tiefe da ist und kaum Wurzeln wachsen können. Es gibt Steine in meinem Leben, die verhindern, dass ich geistig reif und mündig werde... ohne Mündigkeit hält der Glaube in den Stürmen des Lebens nicht stand. Teile fallen unter Dornen, die sinnbildlich für Flüche und Bindungen stehen können 1. Der Weg Auf hartem Boden kann kein Same eindringen und wachsen. Es gibt Bereiche in unserem Herzen, wo Verhärtungen da sind. Durch unsere Erfahrungen treffen wir Entscheidungen und entwickeln bestimmte Gedankenmuster, die ...

Transformation of human into heavenly body

  More Info:  https://www.wiederkunft-jesu.info/ When Jesus returns, our human body will be transformed into a heavenly body. Many Christians at the time of  Jesus return have already died and will still be resurrected. Many cannot understand with their minds how it would be possible for God to bring the molecules of human bodies back together. That's why I would like to try to make it more understandable with two examples from scientists: One day, an employee of the famous chemist Faraday dropped a small silver cup into a container of acid, dissolved in it and disappeared. When Faraday came in, he added more chemicals to the jar. A moment later all the silver particles were at the bottom of the vessel. He sifted out the misshapen silver and gave it to a silversmith, who restored the cup so that it shone brighter than before. If Faraday could excrete the dissolved silver and recover his cup, how much more can God reassemble the scattered dust of a body. Knight, p.56...

Parable of the fourfold soil

Bild
  https://waechter-media.de/java/saemann.html The four different floors can be viewed as a picture for our heart. God's Word is the seed that falls into our hearts. Parts fall on good soil, it grows and bears much fruit. Parts fall the hard way, and Satan steals it all straight away, as my heart has become hard and impenetrable in places because of men trampling on him. Parts fall onto stony ground where there is little depth and roots can hardly grow. There are stones in my life that prevent me from becoming spiritually mature and mature... without maturity, faith cannot withstand the storms of life. Parts fall under thorns, which can symbolize curses and bonds 1. The path Seeds cannot penetrate and grow on hard ground. There are areas in our hearts where there are hardenings. Through our experiences we make decisions and develop certain thought patterns, which in turn influence our decisions. It's like a network of trails. It is very difficult to take new paths and these p...
