what
Life is all about…
A
couple of events waylaid my plans to get this “list” posted sooner…please
forgive me!
Back
on 7-13, I mentioned Proverbs 12:25. And
I asked you to think of some feelings associated with a heavy/depressed
heart. And some verses from God’s Word
that give God’s “way out” of those feelings leading to a heavy/depressed heart.
Keep
in mind that I am a firm believer in God being able to heal any “damage” done
to a Saint’s feelings/emotions. And that
His healing is the only real “cure” for such damage. Not time.
Not anything else. An
uncomplicated prayer asking God to heal those damaged emotions, and to take
away all the fallout (damaged emotions) done works well with His Word. (a sample prayer available upon request)
Also,
know that the Word of God sometimes mentions an “answer” from God that is
indirect, not direct. By that I mean we
must soak on His Word to grasp His healing Word and find His heart in the
matter.
Here
are some things I have kept track of over the years that have been a great help
for folks to find that “merry heart” mentioned in Proverbs 15:13 and 17:22:
·
fear –
Isaiah 26:3, 2 Timothy 1:7
·
worry
– Philippians 4:4-9
·
guilt/condemnation
– Romans 8:1, 1 John 1:9
·
doubt –
Philippians 4:19, James 1:5-8, Romans 8:28
What
destroys the “peace” spoken of in God’s Word?
Dwelling on circumstances (which God has under His control. He permits what He could prevent. He prevents what He could permit.). Meditating on the wrong things (that which is
not on God’s list in these verses).
God
always has a “way out.” It does not suit
us as His Children to dwell in a heavy/depressed heart.
Now,
these things are basically about one area of life. God has a Good Word for every area of life we
are confronted with. Amen.
