“Do not let you hearts be troubled.” What do those words mean to you? I have often used John 14:1-4 for funeral services offering comfort to loved ones left behind. Jesus goes on to say, “Trust in God.”
In most of our private worlds, there is trouble to some degree. We must anchor ourselves with absolute confidence that God is a God who can be trusted. He evidenced that by allowing His Son to pay our sin debt. The final four words in John 14:1 “Trust also in me”. Jesus not only fulfilled all the Old Testament prophecies concerning himself, but went on to make promises to that small group of followers all of which He fulfilled with one withstanding – His second coming – our blessed hope.
Today I choose to not let my heart be troubled because I chose to trust God and His promises. The result is confidence, not in an attitude of arrogance but an attitude of humility realizing that the Holy Son of God provides this blessing in the midst of a troubled world.
