Let not your heart be troubled

LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED………..

After the resurrection of Jesus Christ the disciples were wondering, startled and frightened when Jesus appeared to them. He said unto them “Why are you troubled?” and He also declared peace unto them.  Whenever, we are seized by trouble we tend to lose our peace! In Luke chapter 8 verses 23 to 25 we read about how Jesus calms the tempest. As Jesus was travelling along with the disciples in a boat, there was a great storm and the disciples were much scared as they were in great danger. They cried unto the master as they could not sail through the troubled waters. When Jesus arose He rebuked the storm and there was peace!

I Samuel 1:1-19 we read about Hannah who with much troubled heart, wept and prayed unto the Lord. She was pouring out her soul to the Lord out of her great anguish and grief. Eli the priest who heard her answered saying: Go in peace and the Lord of Israel grant your request. You might be going through a similar situation, or going through tough times in your relationships and family life. Are you troubled of what your future holds? Are you in a financial crisis? It doesn’t matter what the troubles are Jesus will sail you through. I like to remind you the lyrics of an old hymn…….
                            
                                       When trouble surrounds us, when evil comes
                            When the body grows weak and the spirit grows numb                                                                When these things beset us, He will never forget us
                                      God sends down His Love, on the wings of a dove.


Therefore dear believer, don’t give up remember the words of JESUS:” Do not let your hearts be troubled. ..”John 14:1.
