Encouragement

And instead of teaching God and getting people into the Word of God, most churches are trying to patch up the unstable by giving them human solutions and worst of all, psychology of which even psychologists say it has no answers.

There's only one resting place for the soul and that's in God. We stand fast in the Lord. We stand firm in the Lord. Back to verse 1 where he said that. Martin Luther said to Erasmus, "Your thoughts of God are too human." And Paul here is saying what the poet wrote, "I cannot know why suddenly the storm should rage so fiercely round me in its wrath, but this I know, God watches all my path." And as a result, be anxious for nothing. Be anxious for nothing. Stop worrying. Don't get knocked over by trials and temptations and the fact that your little world isn't absolutely perfectly the way you wish it was. That's a form of unconscious blasphemy. Don't worry.
