DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST . MATTHEW 2:3

(3)  When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

JESUS IS ALIVE!

Grace be unto you!  Be not troubled, Jesus is in control!  Many times, we worry ourselves over circumstances that are beyond human ability to control;  therefore, if there's anyone among us, whose soul is troubled over anything at all, be encouraged to pray, read the scriptures, trusting in Jesus, knowing that so long as there is life, there is hope that things will not stay as they are forever, but it is already better in Jesus.

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, it was the days of Herod the King;  by revelation three wise men from the east journeyed to Jerusalem, asking, where the King of the Jews was born?  When Herod the King, heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;  but why?  after he called a meeting of his elders, he asked them if they knew where Jesus was born, they confirmed that is was Bethlehem of Judea, as prophesied by Micah; cf. 5:2;  the King became troubled, called the wise men, enquired of the time when the star appeared; cf. 2:7;  he asked them to go and search diligently for the child, when they found him to report back to him, that he may go and worship him also, cf. 2:8;  but the king meant to do evil against Jesus;  tell me my friend, should the king be troubled over the birth of a child? 

I don't think so, but he was, because of spirit of the fear of losing his throne to Jesus;  therefore, at times, it is what the man imagines to happen, that might not happen, that communicates the negative thoughts into hearts to fear and have anxieties;  therefore, anytime negative thoughts infiltrates our mindsets, to turn our joys into sorrows;  let's not fall for deception spirits, double-check the bottom-line, cast out the infiltrations spirits;  if we continue with the struggles, allow the thoughts of evil to prevail against mindsets, hearts;  evil thoughts can lead to ungodliness.

Beloved, Herod the King was so troubled about securing his throne for himself, that he slew all the children in Bethlehem and its vicinities, two years old and under; cf. 2:16-18; he thought to eradicate his kingship opponent Jesus, but fulfilled a prophesy of Jeremiah 31:15;  therefore, it is important to trust in Jesus, regardless of what a believer goes through on the journey of life; never walk away from Jesus, to lean on own understandings, trust him, King Herod could not kill him, he finished his assignment successfully, and he lives forevermore.  Love one another!  Peace and Love be unto you!  Amen and Amen!

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  (KJV.)  St. John 14:1  Let not your heart be troubled:  ye believe in God, believe also in me.
