10-09-07 Not As Dangerous as it Looks

“Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1)

We face an unknown world nearly every day. What will today bring? What circumstances will I face? What challenges will I meet? How will I handle all the tests? Many times, things aren’t as bad as they seem, if we would only trust God at His word.

The disciples faced much uncertainty as they faced the probability of life without Jesus. Where was He to go? Why and how would He die? Who will possibly betray our Jesus? Even Peter, the bold one, had been rebuked buy Jesus! What next? Jesus attempted to calm His followers by saying the very simple: If you believe in God then believe in Me.

Imagine the emotions early discoverers had as they ventured out to unknown lands, unchartered waters, and places they weren’t sure even existed! Dark waters, raging storms, even shipwreck at times, yet they persevered and pressed onward! Many times, dangers of the unknown seem more dangerous because they are unknown! With Jesus however, we know we have victories already won, so our dangers are really not what they seem to be! It is NOT AS DANGEROUS AS IT LOOKS!

God has set things out from Genesis 1. World history, geology, astrology, physics…all explained in His Word. Creation of mankind, the making of heavenly bodies, the fossil record and how the remains made their way over the entire earth, mountain formations, the seasons, etc. God was there from the foundation of the world and His Word is still the foundation we must stand upon for answers.

So don’t be troubled. If we believe in the God of the Bible, Genesis to Revelation, then we have the confidence to face tomorrow, and answer the questions of today! Oh what we can discover in the Bible. It not only proves history, it is HIStory! The world is NOT AS DANGEROUS AS IT LOOKS and neither is our circumstance. Believe in God, believe also in Me; Jesus want to help…….trust Him!
