PROVERBS 3:5-7
(5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (7) Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
COMMENTARY:
Brethren in the Lord, in this context King Solomon encourages us to put our faith in the Lord when we go through difficult situations in life.
As believers in Christ, we will go through storms of life; these storms are designed to strengthen our faith in the Lord. When we are in a storm, let us not question the Lord, (what is going on? What have I done?) but pray for his mercy and strength to sustain us.
The scripture says, when we are in difficult situations; (loss of employment, divorce, economic downturn and death) not to think of our own solutions, but turn to the Lord for his strength and guidance; we aught to fear the Lord, pray and not make hasty decisions, but submit everything to him to take absolute control.
PSALM 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; and he shall bring it to pass.
CONCLUSION:
Brethren in the Lord, when (friend, neighbor, co-worker, or a church member) is going through a storm, let us pray and encourage; not mock or be judgmental. It is ungodly for a believer to mock and persecute someone who is already going through a storm; these kind of actions are of the demonic world and not from our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Brethren in the Lord, let us abstain from helping the forces of darkness to do their evil works.
Let us be careful, not to end up in a storm for mocking at our fellow brethren in the Lord; but have hope in Jesus, we shall overcome all storms of life. Amen and Amen!
