THE COLD SIDE OF THE PILLOW
Jesus spoke of the days in which we live saying, "men's hearts would faint from fear and the expectation of things coming on the earth". Like birth pangs, the events causing the fear will get closer together and intensify until Jesus returns. It is "the expectation" that leads to fear, which leads to the failing hearts (and falling away from the faith). On the other hand, fixing our eyes on Jesus, His promises, and the expectation of His return, will lead to faith, strength, and encouragement (and bearing fruit for Him!).
What we think, believe, and our attitude, is a choice. We can look up or down, at the world or the Word. You already practice making choices like this every night.
When the pillow gets warm, you flip it over to the cold, comfortable side. You don't choose to stay uncomfortable. You flip the pillow. So don't choose to continue to meditate and dwell on what you see which leads to fear and defeat, when you have promises of something far greater from the One Who loved you and gave Himself up for you!
Rest on the Cold side of the Pillow!
