TRUST GOD

Trust God.
You wake up and breathe each day by the grace of God.

He put us here and He watches over us. He loves us. He gave us a purpose for our lives. We have to discover our gifts He has given us. Each Christian is given supernatural spiritual gifts from God. The Holy Spirit lives inside or indwells in each saved Christian. Are you saved?

So, how is it that we have fear and doubts, and do so little for God? One day we will be accountable - and we want Him to say, "Well done, faithful servant." We can't do anything crippled by fear, or chained by anxiety, or downtrodden by depression. We must rise up in strength and ask God what He would have us do - and take one step in the direciton we are led. One step in faith will take us somewhere we have never been before. And, we must fall down on our knees in humility each day and ask God what He would have us do next.

We are not in control so we should stop fooling ourselves, and stop thinking we can control our lives. It is not up to us - so the pressure is off. God is in control and we don't need to feed stressed out. We have responsibility to do our part in working and caring for others, so we can't be lazy or give up on living.

We need to ask God what to do each day. Each day is a clean slate, too, so we must stop thinking we messed up in the past and can't fix it. That is right, we all messed up, but we repent or feel sorry and confess it to our Father in Heaven and He forgives us. We have to stop using that guilt as an excuse to do nothing. We have to stop saying we are not worthy. Jesus died for those sins. Jesus paid for the sin that are past, present and future. He paid the price. We are washed white as snow. It was a high price and we should be thankful.

God, our Father, gave His only Son to die for us. He gave His Son as a sacrificial lamb to pay for our sins! Do we grasp this concept? Could we give up our only child to die for others? The concept is something only God understands. He loves us so very much.

Trust God and know your enemy! Every day this world lies to us and tell us we are not loved unless we are perfect or agree with certain ideals, and makes us feel that we are doomed. Some media and some politicians tell us that they will save us and they tell us how to live, or we will perish. The example they set is overwhelmingly morally sinful and full of lies. They want money and power, and control. They want to rob us of our freedom, our right to protect our families, and our right to worship. That is satan and evil - and he wants to rob us of a fruitful life serving the God who loves us so much.

Nobody needs to know what we are working on or that we are praying for someone or that God has spoken to us. We are not to be lofty or proud in front of others. We simply must do what the Holy Spirit leads us to do. Even if we think that someone will laugh, or that others think we are unqualified, we must simply trust and obey. If we are wrong or we do something that isn't super great, it doesn't matter. God knows in our heart of hearts that we are trying to please Him. In the end, when we die, we will look our creator and our savior in the face - and we will be humbled and we will need to give an account of what we did with the life that God granted us. It is an opportunity and a blessing to be alive. Don't waste it.

The Bible is full of promises and advice to keep us safe, and to help us be happy. God said to think about what is pure and good and lovely. He didn't say saturate yourselves with the news that makes us cry or feel sick to our stomachs. We are to watch and pray, but not to be obsessed with the bad news. We must study the Word of God in our Bible (or Bibles). We have to get a couple of different translations and compare them and see if we can understand the text. The Holy Spirit will make things clear for us, if we simply open the Bible and read, or if we simply pray.

Trust God, like a small child, and the adventure begins!
Father, what would You have me do? I trust in You.

Acts 17:24-25

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

The Spirit of God hath made me,
and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Matthew 25:23

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

1 Corinthians 7:23-24

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

2 Corinthians 4:4

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

John 12:44-48

Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
