LET GOD

By: Linda Kirby/WGON

The age we live in seems to be filled with all kinds of evil. Everywhere we look, someone or something is threatening harm, which produces fear in the minds of people. We tend to forget that God said, "Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.” (Deuteronomy 3:22). When we read the news, watch it on TV, or see it on social media; we tend to cringe with all the hatred, anger, chaos, and evil. This not only causes stress, but it can harm our mental and physical well being. However, as a Christian, we know better than to allow that darkness to overtake us because we know that Jesus is our refuge. We know we are under His wing and safe (Psalm 91). We have no doubt in our minds that Jesus will take care of us. We do not allow this evil world to steal our joy. We get into the Word of God when we feel stressed -- which brings us comfort and relieves our tension. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13). Remember, if you dwell on the evil in this world, it will drag you down with it. The only way to repel the negative effects is to get into the Word, where you will find peace, joy, and love.
