Day 9: Let Go
JESUS spoke two little words that are so easy to say
yet hard TO DO at times.
Three words that are life changing,
as they take a burdened heart to a place of rest.
"DO NOT LET".
your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly).
BELIEVE [confidently] in GOD and trust in HIM,
[have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] BELIEVE also in ME"
(John 14:1).
The most powerful
THREE WORDS,
yet the most hard to DO,
because it takes FAITH to move beyond
FEELING TROUBLED,
FEELING FEARFUL,
and
FEELING COWARDLINESS,
as these are all REAL FEELINGS.
But FAITH takes you beyond what you
see, feel, and hear with your physical senses,
to a place of
BELIEVING
and
TRUSTING
the
WORDS
of the ONE whom you BELIEVE.
So that you not only read the
WORDS
but you DO what they say~
"DO NOT merely listen to the word,
and so deceive yourselves.DO what it says"*
And here is another DO NOT
that we are commanded to DO NOT DO.
To not just LISTEN to the WORD,
but DO what it says.
HIS WORD is an INVITATION
that demands a YES I will or NO I won't.
Since GOD is a gentleman as is HIS SON,
we have been gifted FREE WILL to CHOOSE.
So what if your answer is NO?
"Anyone who listens to the word
but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and,
after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like"*
A NO will give you a
TROUBLED,
FEARFUL,
and
COWARDLY HEART.
Hmm.
But what if you say YES?
"But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,
and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard,
but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do"
*(James 1:22-25),
Oh how you will
BE BLESSED,
as a
TROUBLED HEART
will be overtaken
by
HIS PEACE,
HIS JOY,
and
HIS HOPE
when you
"DO NOT LET"
and
"BELIEVE [confidently] in GOD and trust in HIM,
[have FAITH, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and]
believe also in ME".
I love GOD's WORD,
as HIS WORD never leaves you at a standstill,
striving to figure out what you need TO DO or DO NOT DO.
All because GOD spells it ALL out,
WORD by WORD,
so that we experience
THE ABUNDANT LIFE in the HERE & NOW,
because HIS WORD is for the HERE & NOW.
Therefore,
will you join me and
DO NOT LET your HEARTS BE TROUBLED
and
"BELIEVE"
