WAY OUT

WAY OUT

Dear children of God, today I want to show the way out from all your anxieties, worries, and all fearful situations. Around 10 PM, on May 31^st2011, john was admitted in C.M.C hospital. He was posted for an emergency surgery and renal transplant, early next morning. He was restless and his mind wanders through many thoughts. “If everything goes well, will I be able to lead a normal life? This is the question that repeatedly worries him.

Like john, we also often become tense facing different life situations. Whether it is facing an exam or attending an interview for a job or awaiting a medical test result. This unknown future’ in our lives causes anxiety and troubles in us. The bible says us that worries can rob our joy and happiness. Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Today we like to bring a good tiding to you to come out from your anxieties. Man who is born of woman is few of days and full of trouble. He comes out like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow and continues not. Though we all desire to live a life of joy and peace, free from troubles and anxious moments but in reality each every one of us come across tense moments in our lives at some time or another.When we struck with the unexpected situations, we seek a way out to overcome anxiety and trouble situations. People seek different ways to tide over their anxiety and troubles: some depend on their own strength and skill or in their power and influence to do something about. Some, on the other hand, take comfort in alcohol, drugs, tobacco and the like to find stability and courage to face to face the situations. A few may even go to the extremes to give up by ending their life.God’s words always give better solution to overcome our anxieties. It provides peace and hope to those who are all in troubled and anxious moments. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests to be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you. Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you.In the bible, we come across many instances of God providing a WAY OUT’. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were three young, who met the displeasure of King Nebuchadnezzar as they did not want to do something which went against their faith. In his anger, the King ordered his soldiers to throw them into the blazing furnace, but God in whom they trusted provided a way out for them. So they tied them up, fully dressed- shirts and robes, caps. And all threw them into the blazing furnace. Now because the king has given strict orders for the furnace to be made extremely hot, the flames burnt up the guards who took the young three men to the furnace. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, still tied up, fell into the heart of the blazing fire. Suddenly Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement. He asked his officials, “Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the blazing furnace?” they answered, “yes, we did, Your Majesty,’ then why do I see four men walking about in the fire?” he asked. They are not tied up, and they show no sign of being hurt- and fourth one looks like an angel”. So Nebuchadnezzar went up to the door of the blazing furnace and called out, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! Servants of the supreme God! Come out! And they came out at once.Dear friends; whatever may be your situations, however bad and evil it may be, the Lord Jesus can give you a way out and true peace from all your all your anxiety. Jesus gave a promise and said that let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my father’s house are many rooms. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.  I am the Lord your God, the Holy one of Israel, your savior.
