Do not fear your enemies, do not fear your future!
Jesus knew! He fully knew that Judas would betray him. He knew Judas was evil to the core, a tool of Satan. He knew, but yet Jesus did not stop him!
What would you do? What if you knew someone on your team was against you, plotting to betray you? Would you panic? Would you fight? Would you remove that person from your life asap? Would you block him off social media?
Jesus didn’t. Jesus walked by faith and quiet strength. He was fully assured that the Father would protect and guide Him. He did not hope, He KNEW. That is faith. Faith to love, live with, sacrifice for, share bread with a devil. There was no worry in Jesus, no uncertainty. He didn’t even keep a watchful eye on Judas as far as we know.
Jesus knew the Father’s plan! It is that knowing that breeds faith. Knowing that Judas played a vital role in Jesus’ mission, knowing that the role was already dictated by the Father, gave Jesus faith to be at peace living with a devil.
Knowing God’s plan. That’s the secret. That is the foundation of peace and faith. Do you know God’s plan for your life? If you do, you can accept all that satan throws at us, and let it roll off like Jesus did. Nothing can scare you, once you know the plan, because who can stop God’s plan?
If God is God, and you know His plan for you, you can live at peace. You can relax and rest, no one can thwart God’s plan. If you don’t know God’s plan, ask Him! Ask Him to reveal to you whatever He can. Trust that if He shows you, it’s OK and if He chooses not to, that’s OK too. Just know that He has a plan!
Fear, stress… these come from the unknown. But it is only unknown when we don’t walk with God daily. Not knowing is our own fault! Get alone with God and ask for a peace that comes from knowing that there is an unstoppable plan for you and your loved ones. Then relax, do not worry, no one can block God.
