There's Hope in the Midst of Trouble

One of the biggest misconceptions that are told is that once a person submits his life to Christ, he will no longer experience trouble; that life will become seamless. What a tremendous falsehood! The reality is; as long as the world revolves, trouble will continue regards if you are a saint or a sinner. Problems are guaranteed. We are either getting ready to enter into trouble, in the midst of it, or coming out of it. The difference is how we now handle it. Once we were out of control; had the mindset of sin and death; and a desire to satisfy only our flesh. However now, we are led by the Spirit of Christ and our desire is to please God. Trouble will come. There are no promises that they will cease on this side. However, the Lord did promise that He will never leave or forsake us. The Lord promised that His yoke was easy and light. He promised there is no condemnation for those who are in Him. There are many truths and promises we can stand upon and hold onto when difficulty comes. It is in those truths and in those promises we have the strength to face whatever comes our way.

Gratifying the flesh is no longer the priority and is absolutely impossible to do if our desire is to satisfy God. We are either led by the Spirit of God or submitted to the sinful nature. There is no middle ground. Let us continue to abide and renew our mind with the truths of God.

He whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
