Trust God

Trusting God in trying situations. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Confidence in the Lord: Psalm 27:1-3

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ² When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. ³ Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Today’s message is one encouraging us to have confidence in the Lord because of who He is and His sovereign powers. We fear only God and we be careful of evil men.

If the question was raised, why must we have confidence in the Lord whom we cannot see, but man we do see? We are to have confidence in the Lord because He has proven Himself to be trustworthy and faithful to His promises. We have confidence in the Lord because He is the creator and sustainer of all, which includes all human evil and good men. Evil men are under God’s control and in God’s time He will bring evil men deeds to an end; therefore, trust God and never doubt Him. When God says, I will take care of you, trust Him. Cast all of our cares upon Him, and leave them with Him (Psalm 55:22, 1 Peter 5:7). More importantly, God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Fear only God, and trust Him for your deliverance.

Encouragement

In the midst of this coronavirus; take these words to heart. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved (Psalm 55:22).

Happy Mother's Day

A Disciple of Christ: Luke 9:23

And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

What is a Disciple? A disciple is a student, or learner, or a follower of Christ and His teachings. The twelve were called Jesus’ disciples, so is all Christians are called disciples of Christ. This is because all believers have committed him/herself to the teaching and life of Christ.

Being a disciple of Christ is a lifestyle and lifetime commitment to the study of the Bible truths and teaching them to others as well as applying them to our lives daily.

Is there a cost to Discipleship? Yes, there is, because there is a lifestyle change. The change includes a transformation from the heart; denying him or herself of the pleasurable things of life that we use to do especially if they do not align with God’s morals.

Being a disciple of Christ is a blessing in that we are the light of the world shinning bright the glory of God.

Following God: Deuteronomy 28:1-68

And it  shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

There comes a time in one’s life that he/she must follow the voice of the Lord and go where he/she is being led. Also, during these times, many will ask why now, but I say to the questioner, God moves in His own time, and it behooves the hearer to follow God instead of man. It also may be that the hearer lacked the courage to step out on faith and God’s continued encouragement was necessary. This brings to mind Joshua when God’s continued encouragement was necessary and given. The result was Joshua was successful in fulfilling the assigned task.

Let me close by saying, follow God regardless of what man says, and be rewarded with His blessings both going and coming. Scripture records that all who followed God were rewarded with His bountiful blessings.

Thanks for reading, sharing and your comments.
