Trust God






We put our trust in things and people.  We trust when we put our foot on our car brakes, the car will stop at the light.  We even go as far as trusting the traffic lights to work properly as we drive through it.  We trust neighbors, family and friends with our children, trusting they won't molest or abuse them in some way. We eat at restaurants, trusting the cooks washed their hands before handling our food.  We let doctors treat us, trusting their diagnosis and prognosis correct. When will we trust God?

Many say if they were living in biblical times, they wouldn’t do what people did in the Bible. I beg the differ.  Peter said he wouldn’t deny Jesus.  And yet it happened.  God told Abraham he would have a son with Sarah. He didn’t trust God.  If he did, there would be no need for Hagar to get pregnant with his baby.

What has God’s Word told you that you don’t believe.  His word says if you forgive others, he will forgive you (Matt 6:12); His word says He’ll never leave or forsake you (Heb 13:5); His word says ask and He’ll give to you (Matt 7:7). Of course, if you waiver in your asking, you won’t get it (Jas 1:6). His word says the works of the flesh will send you to hell: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murder, drunkenness, reveling, and such like. His word says you will be judged according to your works/deeds (Rev 20:13); All those not found in the book of life will be casted into hell (Rev 20:15).

A word of advice, trust God, trust His Word. What He says, He'll do!

God's Timeout!

Even in the mist of your trials, God provides prosperity and peace.  In Jeremiah 29, God told His people that after captivity, after their time-out, He would restore them to Jerusalem.  The people’s response was to simply to listen and obey.  Such a simple task, yet, not easily done. Are you a doer of God’s word? Does others see God in your actions? Do you see yourself, your actions, and your thoughts when you read God’s word?   James talks about looking into God’s mirror and walking away forgetting what you look like (James 1:23-24).  Trials are not for you to point the finger at others or to use as a pawn to make idle promises to do better.    Trials designed to bring you closer to God, to embrace His love, mercy, and grace.  Remember raising your children (if you had any) and after you scold them, they ran to you with tears in their eyes and hug you tightly, a silent plea for forgiveness.  When Go...

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

Trust God

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight ( NIV ). “Police, Police, a young man stole my bike.”   Minutes earlier the gentleman stops at the local store. Thirsty from the summer heat, he decides to get a drink.   Dismounting his bike, a kind young man greets him with a smile and offers to watch the bike. Grateful for the offer, the gentleman hands over the bike.   He enters the store. On returning, the bike and young man had vanished. The gentleman had a good heart, but he had misplaced trust.   Trust in the Lord is paramount (Hebrews 11:6). Life cannot be maneuver through our wisdom, we need the wisdom of the Savior.   He alone can handle our life cycle issues.   A fulfill and successful life with Jesus comes through obedience and surrender. The Lord then guides us into an everlasting peace despite difficulties and h...
