This is the last episode of our series STEPS TO CHRIST.
WATCH IT HERE:
Despite the situations around us, we should always have the joy and hope from our LORD. We are not to constantly complain, murmur, and grumble about our current or even past experiences. We are to hold on to the hope that the LORD is with us and He has everything in control. This is the point of study in this episode.
It is not the will of God that His people should be weighed down
Steps to Christ
with care. But our Lord does not deceive us. He does not say to us,
“Do not fear; there are no dangers in your path.” He knows there are
trials and dangers, and He deals with us plainly. He does not propose
to take His people out of a world of sin and evil, but He points them
to a never-failing refuge. His prayer for His disciples was, “I pray not that Thou
shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep
them from the evil.” “In the world,” He says, “ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John
17:15; 16:33
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:4-7
