Anxious fear brings depression, but a life-giving word of encouragement can do wonders to restore joy to the heart. Prov. 12:25 TPT
Most of us would agree we are living in very unstable times. But those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord can walk through this world with joy in their hearts. Instead of seeing things getter darker, they have a light within and everyone knows that when light stands with darkness, light always wins! So we should be taking light wherever we go. If there is sadness and sorrow, discouragement, pain, broken hearts and spirits, destrction and crisis, where we go, we should dispel it by our words, actions and bring an atmosphere of hope.
We think it’s something so simple, but even a smile can warm a persons heart who feels the world has turned against them. Instead of seeing limitations on how to shine in the darkness, pray for Holy Spirit to show you ways to shine even without saying anything. God knows we won’t always be able to talk with people and to be honest not everyone wants to hear the Good News of Grace, but prayer and actions can still breakthrough and declare the Word of the Lord. When we know the Word, we then can walk it out and sometimes it even speaks louder than any word could.
God loves it when we see Him as Almighty God, and believe that He can even make the impossible happen. According to Hebrews 11:6 He rewards ys when we do so. Take every opportunity to calm anxious fears with wourds and actions of encouragement and plant a seed a joy into a heart.
