John 14:1 (NKJV) 14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
Are you troubled today?
Has something happened recently that concerns you or is causing you to worry? Do you spend your days worrying and fretting?
We all go through this once in a while. Stuff happens in life that can cause us to stumble, and our faith can even waver at times.
But as we walk through each day, it’s important that we don’t let our troubles become our focus. Focusing on our problems will only make them seem bigger than they are. Even if they are big, spending all of our time thinking about them will make them seem even bigger.
Jesus told us not to let our hearts be troubled. His words are true and trustworthy. So it would benefit us greatly to heed what He says!
It’s not always easy to do that. This is why it’s so important that we strengthen and build our walk with God. As we grow closer to Him, we learn to trust Him more. As we trust Him more, our faith grows. And as our faith grows, we spend less and less time with troubled hearts, worrying about every little thing that comes our way.
So, we need to take our troubles, and the yoke and burden they place upon us, and trade them in for the yoke of Jesus. Because His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
