What do we do when a time of trouble comes? What do we do when difficulties arise? How are we to respond?
Almost five years ago now one of the Pastors at my church taught these lessons from this passage of scripture. Pastor Jonathan shared three “don’ts” and three “be’s” in times of uncertainty.
Don’t be deceived (vs.8)
Don’t panic (vs.9)
Don’t worry (vs.14)
Be firm in your standing (vs.19)
Be on guard (vs.34)
Be prayerful (vs.36)
Jesus promised us that we will face adversity, “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.” (John 16:33) Times of destruction come, but we don’t have to despair. Our times are in His hands. Let’s trust Him with our times…our troubles…our todays…and our tomorrows.
