(Psalm 16:8 NKJV) I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
The Bible doesn’t tell us that we won’t go through hard things or tough times. But it does tell us that when we do, “We shall not be moved”. Why? Because, we have set Him before us!
What are some of the things that try to come against us when we face hard times or tribulations?
The first thing is worry and stress.
Jesus tells us in (Luke 12:22 NKJV) Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.
He gives us His answer to worry and stress right off the bat. He says “don’t do it”.
The second thing that tries to get to us is anxiety. God clearly tells us what anxiety will try to do to us if it gets in.
(Proverbs 12:25 NKJV) Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.
Stay positive no matter how hard the fight looks; don’t give in to depression or negative talk.
The third thing to watch out for is fear; it will try to grip us in the worst way.
God tells us in (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
If God has not given it to us then don’t fall for it. Rebuke that spirit of fear, in the name of Jesus. Amen
This is how we set the Lord before us, by knowing what His Word says, speaking it over our lives and walking in it daily! Amen
