The expression, The Lord is at handindicates to the Christian that God will always be there for him, even in times of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Hebrews 13:5 states, for He hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.' It is a great comfort to recognize that God is always by our side and is not going to leave us as long as we dont leave Him (Romans 8:31-39). With God, there is no problem, trouble, worry, or fear that cant be overcome, for all things are possible with Him (Philippians 4:13). The Christian is never alone. He has a self-help groupthe likes of which this world cannot boast! Fourth, we read, Be anxious in nothing” (4:6). Anxiety for the things of this life can become a big problem for the Christian. Jesus taught us to understand that God knows the things of which we have need, and He will supply those things if we seek Him and His kingdom first (Matthew 6:25-34). When we start to dwell on the worries and anxieties of this life, let our minds and our actions turn to things of the kingdom. What can we think and do to further the cause of our Lord upon the earth? We can study the word. We can visit the sick. We can help the poor. We can evangelize the lost. There is no shortage of activity. Get involved with other people. Being involved in something goes a long way toward eliminating anxiety that crops up as a result of eating the bread of idleness. God bless you, and I love you. Kevin Cauley

Seven Beliefs for Mental Wellness (Part 3)

Third, Paul writes, “The Lord is at hand” (4.5). The expression, “The Lord is at hand”

indicates to the Christian that God will always be there for him, even in times of

loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Hebrews 13:5 states, “for He hath said, ‘I will

never leave thee nor forsake thee.'” It is a great comfort to recognize that God is

always by our side and is not going to leave us as long as we don’t leave Him

(Romans 8:31-39). With God, there is no problem, trouble, worry, or fear that can’t

be overcome, for all things are possible with Him (Philippians 4:13). The Christian is

never alone. He has a “self-help group” the likes of which this world cannot boast!

Fourth, we read, “Be anxious in nothing” (4:6). Anxiety for the things of this life can

become a big problem for the Christian. Jesus taught us to understand that God

knows the things of which we have need, and He will supply those things if we seek

Him and His kingdom first (Matthew 6:25-34). When we start to dwell on the worries

and anxieties of this life, let our minds and our actions turn to things of the kingdom.

What can we think and do to further the cause of our Lord upon the earth? We can

study the word. We can visit the sick. We can help the poor. We can evangelize the

lost. There is no shortage of activity. Get involved with other people. Being involved

in something goes a long way toward eliminating anxiety that crops up as a result of

eating the bread of idleness.

God bless you, and I love you.

Open Up

“Devote yourselves to prayer,...praying at the same time for us as well, that God will

open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of

Christ” (Colossians 4:2-3).

Paul urges the Colossians to “devote themselves to prayer,” and there is nothing we

can do today more important than pray to our Father in heaven. We need Him. We

need His help, His providence, and His guidance. Paul especially wanted them to

pray that God would “open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak the

mystery of Christ.” This has been my constant prayer for many years. God opens

doors for the word (2Thessalonians 3:1-2).

We also pray for God to open the windows of heaven so that we may continue our

ministry effectively (Malachi 3:10; Deut. 28:10). We know that without the help of

God we can do nothing. We raise our funds best upon our knees.

We realize our task is to let the word of God open up hearts to the love of God and to

the cross of Christ (1 Cor. 2:2). We must hide ourselves behind the cross and watch

God’s word work in the hearts and lives of those we teach.

We pray that we may open up hands to give and to serve. We love filling the request

of our viewers and listeners. We prove our discipleship by producing fruit (John 15:8-

10).

We ask God to help us speak clearly and boldly (Colossians 4:4; Eph. 6:19-20). But

we also pray that those who hear will open up their minds to recognize God’s power

in our lives and God’s truth in His word.

We pray God will open up our eyes to recognize what God has already done for us

and to be thankful for the privilege of serving in God’s vineyard, knowing God gives

the increase (1 Cor. 3:7).

The Search Light

“But as for you, be strong and do not let

your hands be weak, for your work will be

rewarded”. 2 Chronicles 15:7

“Train up a child in the way he should go and

when he is old he will not depart from it”.

Proverbs 22:6

A man never stands as tall as when he

kneels to help a child.
