John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you, not as the world
gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
“The future ain’t what it used to be,” said Yogi Bera. In his
own way with words, he meant that whether things are bad or better, we are most
often bothered when they are different than we thought they would be.
Today we are winding up Afghanistan. But wars and rumors of wars the list of anxiety moments is relentless... remember Y2K, not really that long
ago? Remember Vietnam, the Korean War,
WWII? Racial riots? To our dear parents, or grand- or great
grandparents it was the war to end all wars, World War I. It is truly hard to picture a time when there
has not been some kind of political, economic or social turmoil. So don’t waste too much energy cursing
evil. Save a good part of your energy to
bless the world with more grin and good and less groan and moan.
Do some good, positive, Christ-centered picturing. Think eternity. Think salvation. Think wonderment and awe about the
Creator. Think on whatever gifts God has
given you and how you can be a light when dark days come.
None of us alone can save the world, but together, in the name of
Jesus, we can work to convert more and more people to the blessings of His
love. And then, bless others by trying
to practice this love. In the 10th
chapter of Matthew, Jesus says, Go and
proclaim the good news… Repeat these
words. Believe these words. They’ll do serious damage to any anxiety
attacks you may have.
As a
Christian, you are in the Messiah business.
Therefore, teach those around you to be spiritually smart rather than
just earthly muted. Seek the gift of an
unearthly courage. Light your lamp and
don’t hide it under a bushel.
The day you accepted Christ you took off on a pilgrimage to find what
is so aptly written in 2 Timothy 1:7 God
has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who complain about what happened and
those who make things happen. Builders
and wreckers, worriers and those who try to put silver linings on other
people’s clouds. Are you a professional
worrier? Want to get off this one way
street to desperation and destruction? Join
hands with King David and repeat along with him, Submit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him…. (Psalm 37:5)
Have you heard about the man who had a plane to catch at a very early
hour and then having set his alarm, sat on the edge of his bed all night long
to make sure it went off on time. He
earned his Ph.D. in anxiety. He had
worry down to a science.
You shake
your head. Nobody is that foolish, you
say? Then remember some of the things
you have worried about that got you down, wore you out . . . . and finally never happened.
Do you fear death? Let me tell
you of a lady who though a Christian still had feared death all her life. There was too much of the unknown in it to
fit her fashion. After all, she’d never
done it before. Then came the day when
she had not many breaths left of her life’s supply. “Is this death?” she asked her doctor. “Yes,” he answered honestly, for he was a
close friend as well as her physician.
Then she turned to her husband and said, “My dearest, this is the hour I
have for so many years dreaded. This is
the hour I have always shrunk from.” And
then with a serene smile beyond description, she said, “Husband, do you see
that face? Do you hear that music? Christ is here. I have never known such rapture of light and
peace and joy.”
Whether living or going through the night to the throne of Grace,
God is with us. He is with us when twin
towers are built and when they waver and fall to the ground in terrible pieces. He is with us at dawn and dusk. On the blackest night or when the brightest
moon sweeps away the darkness, He is with us.
