As we walk away from those who are contentious and they walk away from us because we are sold out to Christ, there will be a sense of new freedom and peace because of their absence.
Being alone is preferable to being stuck in the continual drama about nothing important. But we are never alone because Christ lives in us and He is everything we need.
We don't worry about the future because we know Christ will give us what we need when we need it, our faith in this sustains us.
Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus".
When things get rough and our "feelings" run amuk we can ignore them because we know rationally that God knows about it and what comes next. He will never leave us alone to flounder in fear and unsure about the future. We walk by faith in Christ, not by sight in what we see with our eyes.
2 Corinthians 5:6-10 "6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—
8 but we are of good courage and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive compensation for his deeds done through the body, in accordance with what he has done, whether good or bad."
Still Looking Up!!!!!
