Meditation - 2019
"AATHAVAN" | August 19 Wednesday, 2026
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." (John 14:1)
If we are troubled by anything in this world, the primary reason is the fear concerning the problems we face. When incurable diseases strike us, when debt troubles press us down, or when inescapable, critical situations arise, we become troubled. But in today’s meditation verse, the Lord Jesus Christ says, "Let not your heart be troubled."
The people of Israel were led by Moses from Egypt toward Canaan. At that time, Pharaoh, who had let them go, changed his mind and pursued them to slay them. The Israelites were sore afraid and troubled. Then Moses said unto the people: "Fear ye not, standstill, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace." (Exodus 14:13, 14). These divine words dispelled their trouble, and even so, they received deliverance.
Furthermore, whenever great and powerful kings arrayed themselves against them, they were greatly troubled. At all such times, they cried unto the Lord. God delivered them from those kings and led them forth. Thus, in every matter, God led them wondrously.
Yes, beloved, when a trial arises, if there is someone to bear our burdens, what a great comfort that brings us!
If our home faces the threat of foreclosure due to debt, how troubled our hearts become! "Alas, what shall we do now? Where shall we go and dwell? How shall we pay the rent? What a great humiliation this foreclosure will be in society!" But in such a predicament, if a wealthy benefactor steps forward and says, "Fear not, I will pay off your debt," would not our trouble vanish immediately?
In like manner, our Lord Jesus first said unto all who came seeking His help, "Be not afraid, only believe," comforting and strengthening them.
The Creator and Ruler of the entire universe—the possessor of all riches—is our Father. He exhorts us to place our faith in Him. He says, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." Yes, beloved, it is imperative that we remain faithful to God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, for in Him dwell all the riches of glory.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)
With such faith, let us believe the words of Christ. Let not your heart be troubled.
