I was a “Martha,” always worried about so many things, until I began to let Jesus in so He could change my heart and life. Since then, He’s been showing me the amazing realization and blessing of what it’s like to be like “Mary.” Luke 10:38-42
The size or severity of our circumstances don’t really matter. What matters is that God Almighty is always with us.
I don’t know what situation you’re facing today, but I know you’re not alone if you’re a Christian. God tells us we can be strong in Him and that He’s promised to never leave us nor forsake us, never…Deuteronomy 31:6
22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. 23 And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely. 24 Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
The Philippian Jailer Converted
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 And the jailer[e] called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. 34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.
Acts 16:22-34
The precious passage of scripture is just one of the many that remind me that God is in control, knows what He’s doing and that He is always working all things for my good. Ask Jesus to make Romans 8:28 a reality in your heart and soul – “And we know“. When you know, you believe Romans 8:28, and you have such peace and assurance of God’s care for you – no matter what.
God bless you, dear people, loved of God, as you let the peace of God reign in your heart.
Mark
