Subject: A FALSE TEACHING? Yes / No |
Bible Note: Dear LDS, No matter the needs, sickness, poverty, mental or emotional anguish, we are to take them before God the Father in prayer. Phil 4:6,7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. In the lives of His children, God has ordained times of trials and testings. These times can be excruciatingly difficult and may cause us to wonder at what is happening, and, why God is allowing such things to happen to us. In my experience, the answer does not usually come during, but after, the trial has past (sometimes months or years later). Perhaps the reason for a particular trial will be revealed only in Heaven or maybe never. It all depends on God's will and eternal purpose. Faith is the key to actually experiencing the peace" which surpasses all comprehension". If our faith is weak, we must pray that God will strenghthen what faith we do have. But what ,preciesly is "FAITH'? Is it really a "force" by which we obtain earthly and temporal blessings of health, wealth and happiness? I think not. Do not stop at Hebrews 11:1, but read the entire chapter!!! God Bless, John |
