had a great opportunity to talk to some of our parents at church about how to help their children handle death. great to see parents who really care and want to encourage their kids through difficult times in life!
started with the reality of spiritual warfare, and our enemy who is the father of lies. he wants us to think UNtruth, which leads to worries and fears and ultimately not trusting in God. we combat worry and fear with TRUTH! and Philippians 4:4-9 tells us to present our requests to God with thanksgiving...then think about truth. not the "what if's" or "what might's", but "what IS". what is true!
and what is true is that God is in control and He is good (read Psalm 135:6 and then 119:68...awesome!) and those 2 truths are never in conflict with one another. incredible to think about and trust in.
truth is what our church needs. truth is what our families need. truth is what i need. Your Word is wonderful LORD! help me strap on my belt of truth and use the sword of the Spirit!
