Panic Or Praise

As we are going through this era of panic cause by the corona virus, I think that a decision must be made. In fact, if you are dealing with any crisis in life rather it’s health, financial, marriage, or even your job I believe that a decision must be made.

Isaiah 26:4 he teaches us to Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. So, that means that when I can’t lean on anyone else, I can lean on the Lord. So, that means when can’t trust anyone else I can trust the Lord. Wait a minute pastor what are you really saying?

I saying, that when the doctors medicine can’t cure me, there is a stranger in the city, that’s healing the body and the sin sick soul.

I’m saying that when the banks won’t loan me money, that I can trust in Jehovah Jeir, for he’s my provider to take care of me. Because he has already promised me that “Lo, I am with thee always even unto the end of the earth.

And if these promises are true and they are, then the question has validity, am I’m going to panic or am I going to praise while I'm going through. Am I going to sink or swim, stand or fall?

The writer had some power words to relay to us here in proverbs 3 when he said Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, in other words Wholly and securely rely upon God’s wisdom, God’s power, and his goodness. Rely upon his providence and promises, for directions and help in all thine affairs and dangers.

Lean not to thine own understanding: don’t think that you have enough wisdom to handle these problems on your own, and without God’s blessing.

In all thy ways, somebody repeat, In all thy ways acknowledge him — in other words know him, know his wisdom, follow his counsels; his power and goodness, by expecting success from him; his sovereignty, by managing all thy affairs in such a manner as to please and glorify him; and he shall direct thy steps — So that thy ways shall be safe and good, and at last have a happy issue, and he shall direct thy paths.

And I promise you if you follow these directions, you won’t panic but instead you will praise.
