Command: Don’t Be Troubled, yet…

“Jesus said, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me.” John 14:1 ERV
“Command – an authoritative direction or instruction to do something”
Many times we face a difficult situation and many times we respond with panic and uncertainties and worries.
I’d like to reprogram my mind so that whenever trouble comes, my default response is “trust” instead of “distress”.
I understand that this is no easy task. We are human, we see things and then believe, we hear things and then we say there is something out there, the wind blows in our face and we say there is a presence of the wind, the rain comes and we got wet and we believe that the water molecule is present, we used to not able to do things the normal way but all of a sudden our body is able to perform what it is suppose to do and then we say we are healed and we rejoice.
Trusting God is not believing that the things that we desire will come to pass, it is believing that whatever the bad situation is, God always has a better plan of why things are happening the way they are in the physical realm.
Though sometimes we do not understand why humanity has to suffer deeply, know in our heart that God is always in our side.
If He said “Don’t be troubled”, then then do be troubled.
How simple is that command … yet many times we disobey it.
