That is a good question.
Do you trust God with all your heart.
Do you trust God with nothing wavering?
Do you have doubts about his ability to help you?
These questions are hard but they need to be asked so you can stand back and think about your answer.
I know trust is a very elusive commodity. It isn’t something that comes easy for me.
Yet, with God it should be easy because he has never disappoints me.
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. Zephaniah 3 verse 17.
He can do anything.
Before the day was I am he…
Before time began, God was there.
There is none who can deliver out my hand…
He will never give you over. He keeps you close.
I will work, and who shall let it?
He will work on your behalf and who can stop it or who can handle it.
There is no one like the Lord.
(Adapted from Isaiah 43 verse 13.)😀
God is powerful.
At times, we miss the fact that this same God who created the universe is also our father.
He is a father to those who believe in his only son and who put their trust in him.
We are all God’s creatures. But as a born-again believer, we are called children of God.
If we are children of God, then he will provide for us.
He will protect us.
He knows us.
He knows even our name. This is an intimate relationship he seeks to have with us.
Trust him. He does not sleep. It takes only one cry to awake his ear.Â
Prove him today, and see if he will not come through for you.
But now thus saith the Lord that created you…and he that formed you.
God said, “Fear not; for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine.”
Isaiah 43 verse 1
The summer is ending, and it is back to school time. Change is something that can not be stopped.
Change happens in every aspect of life. Sometimes it is hard to accept newness or the difference of things, but if I want to continue to exist in this diverse world, I am learning I have to accept things and try to make them my own.
God helps me with this. I sometimes have not sown the seeds of change, and my harvest is, at times, not what I want, but God sees me through. He can change things to work out for my blessing.
All he asks is for me to believe and trust in him.
I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from there comes my help. Adapted from Psalm 121 verse 1.
A close relationship with the Lord is key to all our needs. He is the source of all blessings , and from him flows all good.
Reading his word and praying to him puts us in a closeness where he will open up understanding and wisdom to us, thereby enabling you to make sure and good decisions.
A closeness with God keeps us safe and secure. We learn to trust Him no matter the circumstance.
He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91 verse 1.
Take with you the shield of faith so you can withstand the fiery darts of the Devil.
The Devil travels around looking for those he can mess up big time. If you are following the Lord, he does not want to make it easy for you. He springs, hoping to get his claws on you.
But if you read the Word of God faithfully and trust the Lord, your walk of faith gets easier.
When problems come, you dig deep and remember the promises He spoke to you. You call no those promises. You go over them again and again. Soon, those doubts and fears planted in your heart by the Devil will fall away.
You must have the word of God to shield you. If you don’t read the Bible, you have nothing for protection.
Adapted from Ephesians 6.
We pray for things we don’t have, or for things we need, like our health is compromised, the bank is on our tail for payments we can not make, or we desire a promotion we believe we should have.
Regardless of our reasons for praying, we know that our source is the Lord. Without Him, we can’t do anything. He gives strength. He gives means. He creates opportunities.
He is the same in the past, today, and in the future. There is no one like Him. He will never leave us or forsake us.
This is his promise.
His promises are yes. His promises are amen or so let it be.
All thanks and praise belong to God.
He is worthy to be praised from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.
When we are in health and have good times before us, and things are going smoothly, it is easy to praise the Lord.
When things are going badly. When the medical report is poor. When there is no money to pay all the bills. When the boss hates you. When everything at work is wrong, it is hard to sing praise.
But Job said, “Although he slay me yet will I trust him.”
To come to this realization is a big step of faith. But like Job can we take that step?
It is all a matter of trust. It’s a matter of turning your eyes upon Jesus and to look in his face and not at the problem.
Yes, humanly speaking, it is hard, but if we dig deep and think about what lies before us, the choice is easy.
Remember, he is God.
I seek the Lord for his word is sweet.
I trust the Lord, for he is good and true.
He is the source of all my blessings. Everything that I have and everything that I am, I owe it all to the Lord.
He provides for all my needs even before I know what to ask for. I call on his name in my day of trouble.
I call on his name when I am lost.
I call upon his name when I have a song on my lips.
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils. Isaiah 2 verse 22.
But if thou shalt indeed oney his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. Exodus 23 verse 22.
He will be your protector.
When the enemy comes up against you, he will fight for you.
God, the creator, your Father, who loves you, will prepare provision for you in the day to trouble.
You have divine protection surrounding you.
Fear not he is with you. Abide in him, and truly, he will never forsake you in the name of Jesus.
As a child of God, you are covered by the blood of God’s only began son. In the name of Jesus, you walk in peace.
