Ease My Troubles That's What You Do

Ease my troubles that's what you do

Trouble spares nobody. We all have our share. Like time, where we all get the same quota. However, others may go through much more than the average. When we are in pain, we don't want to listen to some lecture. We want someone who can ease our pain. Someone who can assure us that all will be fine. I believe that God is far more understanding than the average human. So while you're down, He's not going to be condemning you; or saying "I told you". In fact, His arms are open and He wants us to find rest, peace and solace. "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" says Jesus. Jesus said this about His words: "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life". John 6:63

The title above is a song performed by Rod Stewart, and lyrics by Scott Wiseman. God is the only one who can truly ease your troubles. Like the parable of the prodigal son in the Bible, He will not meet you with 3 lessons of how to come back to him; or 10 points to avoid pain. No. He will embrace you. In fact, He has already slaughtered the best lamb (Jesus) and there is a feast going on. He will robe you with the Righteousness of God which is in Christ. If you are already in Christ, He is not going to treat you different. You are already a son. He will convict you of your righteousness. He will affirm your standing. Thats what Jesus said of the Holy Spirit in John 16. The Holy Spirit is one of the same kind as Jesus. He is not going to contradict Jesus' work on the cross by putting blame on you. He will guide you to the truth; Jesus is the truth. His life, death and resurrection is your truth. You are the righteousness of God in Christ.

Come boldly today. He will ease you trouble, thats what He does. If you are feeling guilt, thats not the Holy Spirit. Thats your own consciense. Once you've been purged (through Christ), God doesn't want you to be sin conscious - Hebrews 10:2. He wants you to be Christ conscious. All that means is, you are conscious of who you are in Christ at all times. That doesn't happen by your own efforts. It's born in you by the Holy Spirit. When things go wrong around you, you have this inexplicable peace within. When things go wrong and the first thing that comes to mind is "Lord is this a punishment for what I've done; or Lord I'm sorry for my unconfessed sins", then you are not Christ conscious. You are self-conscious, or sin conscious. Thats just a simple illustration. However, whatever happens, rest your mind in the simple truth that God has your back. Rest your mind in this truth; God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and He has made perfect forever them that are sanctified (Hebrews 10:14).

He has already ease your troubles in Christ. Receive what is already yours.
