My Days with Christ Jesus

Day 120

April 30, 2015

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." -Psalm 23:4

Clearly we are all walking through the valley of the shadow of death. This world is so full of death leading path. Wherever you look, you see hate, pain, struggles, miseries, lies, violence & a faithless generation. All those things came to be because of our own foolishness,

How? You ask... How are all those evil things possible when God is love & He is good?

"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." -Genesis 1:31

It was very good. God said. You see God's plan for us in Jeremiah 29:11 was ruin because of sin. Our God who is love, is also just. He just can't let a sin go unpunished, what would that make Him? That would be denying Himself, He can never do that... He is who He is and He doesn't change (Malachi 3:6). Why would the Creator bow down to His creation? What would that make Him? Because if He let you go unpunished That would mean He doesn't have authority over you when clearly He has because you wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Him.

"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." -John 1:3

Our own foolishness has made a lot of paths in this world, a death leading one. That foolishness is greatly influenced by the world we live in, and we know who is the chief commander of this world, satan. Our sins has paved a way for us to eternal damnation, which is satan's goal to lead us to hell. But what's amazing is that God made a way for us to be saved from all the evil traps of this world, and that way is Jesus Christ and in Him alone,

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -John14:6

Believing in Jesus Christ changes everything, how we see things, how you act & think...it changes who you are by renewing our mind and if it doesn't change you i conclude it isn't a faith that saves. Your faith is in vain. No one has ever accepted Jesus and remained the same. And once you become a new man in Christ Jesus you will know the world, and the evil traps & death leading way it offers to man but one thing that makes it all different is that God is with us, our faith in Him is at work and so the spirit of fear can never enter us, it will not have an effect over us.

The world & satan is offering us death through various traps but God is offering us life, eternal life thru our faith in His Son Jesus Christ. Which one would you chose?

In this world it doesn't matter where we are, what matter most is who we are with. If we don't have faith in God, fear takes over but if we know and believe in God we fear nothing in this world.

The choice is yours, fear or faith.

The Bible has thought as a lot of lessons, one is that, Be not afraid & just trust God. Remember also the Bible is not meant to be read, it is to be lived. 

Live out your faith. 

Walk not in fear but in faith.

To God be the glory!
