Don't Worry Be Happy!

Don't worry be happy is the name I gave Matthew chapter 6.

Our everyday lives here on earth can be filled with stress and challenges that make us feel isolated and so far away from God.  But we have assurance that He is with us and that He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrew 13:5 KJV).  But somehow the heavy burdens we face make it all but impossible to feel His presence in our life.  The world will tell you that when you are facing a crisis or dying, that you can be in a crowd and be totally alone.  Sounds like something the devil would whisper in your ear to me.  Get this fact deep into your spirit and call on it whenever you need it.  I AM NEVER ALONE.  And even if you have caused the mess you are currently in you have assurance that God will make what the enemy intended for evil, work for the good for those that love Him and have called to unto His purpose.(Romans 8:28 KJV)  If you are "born again" (have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior) then you will be okay.  God did not promise us that we would not be subject to the things of the world, He just assures us to take His hand and know that we are never alone even in our darkest hours.  There is always an end to any trial or circumstance.  The end will come and there will be joy again. (Psalm 30:5 KJV)  So if you are facing a dark hour today, be encouraged.  Take some time to get into the scriptures for your comfort.  Try on Matthew chapter 6 for size and you will find that it is the right fit for anyone, but especially  for YOU.
