Trust In God-Don't Worry

Trust In God-Don't Worry "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." John 14:1 This scripture is such a great promise by Jesus telling us not to be troubled or worry. He tells us that He will provide all our needs, and that we should not be concerned about the things of this life which are material in nature, like our money and possessions which will rust and rot away. We should instead have our trust in God for everything, and depend upon Him to provide what we need. We have this promise because when we ask Jesus into our hearts, and make Him our savior He also gives us the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in the paths of righteousness. God loves us so much that He gave His only son to die on the cross for our sins, and His only requirement is that we love Him back. He made this clear when He gave us His number one commandment, which is to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. What a loving God we have, to give us so much, and ask for so little in return. I want you to understand when your life becomes burdened down with trouble and worry, your focus becomes centered towards yourselves. God does not want you to be so engrossed in yourself, and your wants and desires, but to be centered on living a life that is devoted to serving Him. There are so many things that tempt you each day to get your minds and hearts off Jesus, but this is Satan tempting you. However, you can make the choice every time you are tempted by the things of this world to turn from them, and keep your heart and your mind focused on serving God. The choices you make during life will determine where you will spend your eternity. Make the right choices each day, and trust in God for all things and your eternal future will be secure.
