John14:1-3
Do not let your heart betroubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are manydwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to preparea place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receiveyou to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
Who,or what, are you trusting in?
Theworld’s answer to that question is that you need to trust in yourself and whatyou can do about your circumstances. Or some people trust in the circumstancesthemselves. But neither of these are dependable things to trust in!
Circumstancesare constantly changing. A person who trusts in them will be constantlyswinging between happiness and discouragement. And a person who trusts in hisown ability to deal with circumstances will soon discover that he cannotcontrol his health, or the actions of other people, or even his own sinfulnature.
No,there is only one place to put your trust if you want to find peace. That placeof rest and security is found when you decide to totally trust the Lord and Hiswill for you. That doesn’t mean that you just resign yourself to God’s will—itmeans that you embrace His will as the best thing in your life. Why? Becauseyou trust Him!
