Trust

Proverbs 3: 5 - 6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He Shall direct your path.

If you look at the history of man, you will realize that man has always lived in different times and places, but has always had similar problems. Man has always had to deal with the unknown. Decisions were based on desperate situations, or emotion.

Fast forward to today.  Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, there is nothing new under the sun. Man still lives with desperate situations, and emotional decisions. Ask any successful person about how they make decisions, and they will tell you, it takes cold, hard logic. Emotional decisions are a disaster. The best you could do overall, is to make fewer mistakes.

That doesn't sound too encouraging, does it? There is a simple answer. Look at all of the complicated and unexplained things in the universe, and all of what you see, How did they come into existence?  Everything points to a Creator. His name is God.

It stands to reason that if God made it, He can fix it. All the trillions of things that go on at the same time in order to sustain life, and the universe are controlled by God.

When God sent Jesus to bring us salvation, He did it to help us get through this life, and eventually to heaven. When we confess our sins and ask Jesus to come into our hearts and be our personal savior, we receive the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2: 38

Then Peter said to them, repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

What many people do not realize is, the holy spirit was the power that turned the Word of God, into creation. The Holy Spirit was the power behind all of Jesus miracles, even His resurrection.

John 14:26

But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to you remembrance of all things I said to you.

So what does that mean to a believer? Just this. The Holy Spirit will teach,  and help you through daily life. Talk to Him, and listen for His voice in your heart.

Remember this fact. When you ask God for something, you must do two things. Believe you have what you asked, and get out of the way. Trust God, and it will be. Realize that God works in His time and not yours so it may take a while, so be patient. If you follow this idea, your life will not be a mess. God can do everything that we can't.

Psalm 9:10

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for you Lord have not forsaken, those who seek You.

Psalm 37: 4 - 5

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He Shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

God bless you and your family. Praise the Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior.  I want to serve only you. 

Praise the Lord!

Amen
