To Be Glad Hearted in The Face of Trouble – For Mature Ears Only

Can you be happy in your faith, let me answer that, Yes. There’s a secret place of the Most High God that accepts all who do the work of trusting and believing in God no matter what horrors are in front of them (Psalm 91:1-16). It takes growth in the Lord to start receiving the special benefits of God. If we want anything bad enough, we go after it like a bulldog on a bone until we get it. Things are no different when it comes to seeking the Lord, and expecting to find Him. Knocking on the doors He has ordained for us to open, and asking with total resolve in knowing God will come through for us. There must be a level of maturity in the saints who want God’s best for them. Acknowledging the Lord in all we do causes Him to direct our path (Proverbs 3:6). Nothing better than knowing in advance a particular route that’s guaranteed for a successful outcome. Only the mature in Christ will expect and trust God in this way. We lose control of the helm of our will from time to time so God can point us in the way we should go. We must first be able to recognize God’s voice. Secondly, we must be willing to do the harder stuff in life which is a cost to our flesh, it doesn’t always freely cooperate with the assignment. We can be glad hearted which is a state of being, (due to the work of Calvary in us expressing victory on our countenance because of Jesus). Having a handle on Kingdom living and its guidelines for victorious living on planet earth is the mature christian’s portion for success. Knowing who we are in Christ Jesus is cause enough to be glad hearted. If we don’t know and live out what is ours in Christ, how can your heart be glad, your mind may not care, but our hearts have our deepest desires.
