Week 2

Do you believe when God created us, He has created our mood also?
Our mood of feeling joyful, feeling angry, lonely and frightened.
Christians aren’t guarantee to be joyful all the time, but God has promised to help us get through it. Most importantly, God protect us like a shield!!

In Psalm 4-5:
In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Listen to my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.
You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
with you the wicked cannot dwell.
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;
you hate all who do wrong.
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

When we are angry, satan tempt us to feel jealous, unloving and impatient in our action.

In Matthew Chapter 4, it tells the story of Jesus being tempted by satan. Couldn’t Jesus be rude and say inappropriate things to satan to make him go away? Couldn’t Jesus lose his temper and tell the angels to come and serve him right away?

Jesus didn’t sin in his trial. Jesus has once been made in the form of human, he has tempers like us, but Jesus demonstrated his faithfulness in God even more, he made himself totally submissive under the power of God.

Let us learn to be like Jesus when we lose our joyful heart, rely on God and not lose our faith in Him.
