Who do you trust, man or God?

Peace

Crooked ways made straight

FREEDOM

TRUST IN GOD EVEN WHEN IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO YOU

Talk to me Lord - PLEASE

There is safety in Christ

"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts the Lord is kept safe."

Proverbs 29:25

Safety lies in Christ, not man.  Therefore, whatever fears you are having that involve men - the world - are from the world and the world's hold over you which will get you nowhere, eventually causing you to fall and having to start again.  So, reassess!  Put your trust in Jesus and just keep moving forward.  Ignore the whispers, complaints, downgrading words of the world, and press on - God is with you.  And remember the words of today's verse, "... whoever trusts the Lord is kept safe."

  

Inquire of God - he will answer

"... he inquired of the Lord... The Lord answered..."

1 Samuel 23:2

This is simple: ask God - he will answer.  

Hence, make life easy on yourself  - Ask God!

Turst - Delight - Commit

"Trust in the Lord and do good.  Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.  Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.  Commit everything you do to the Lord.  Trust him, and he will help you.  He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun."

Psalm 37:3-6

Trust in, delight in, and commit yourself to the Lord. For when you do, the desires of your heart and the prayers that you pray will come to pass.  God's word says so, and his words never-ever lie.

Go! Has not the Lord gone ahead of you?

“... Go! This is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands.  Has not the Lord gone ahead of you?”

Judges 4:14

Go already!  Today is your day.  God has already done the work for you; he’s already gone where you’ve been wanting to go and given you the victory - yes, he’s already cleared the path for you.  So what are you waiting for?  Why do you fear?  Yes, it will take some deep faith, some deep determination, and it may not be as easy as you want, but it’s yours... now go and take it.

When your plans aren’t working out

When you make major life changes in which you are so excited about, and then suddenly they don’t seem to be working out or going the direction you thought, (especially if the change has to do with quitting one job to work your dream job, or packing up and moving your family, or investing in something you were once so sure about.), then true faith and trust in Christ really need to come into play.  These are the moments where you need to hand everything over to God and let him take over.  If some of these decisions were based on your flesh and not God’s voice, then repentance is in order and your whole heart needs to be re-opened.  Yes, it is too late to turn back and start over, however, where you are is where you are is where God knew you would end up.  Therefore, seek, seek, seek, and keep seeking God; you will find him, he has open doors for you, he will not let you fail, and the glory of Him will shine through for you.  Patience and trust are required...yes, patience and trust.

It’s all going to be ok my friend. Hold on, keep moving forward, and although your decisions weren’t from God, now that you have realized it and are turning back to him, he will make your decisions blessed to the utmost and your health, wealth, wisdom, peace, love, and joy, will be filled to the full until they overflow - now and forever-more.

What God tells you to do: listen and do.

"Did I not tell tell the messengers you sent to me, "Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the Lord - and I must say only what the Lord says?"

Numbers 24:13

No matter how enticing the offer may be, no matter how desperately you long to have what is being given, if the Lord has told you not to accept, then you mustn't accept.  Yes, it seems so hard to say 'no' at the moment, but God has a plan - trust him!  

Therefore, with all might, courage, and confidence, say, 'no thank you', turn and walk away.

God comes down to us

”I will come down and speak with you there...”

Numbers 11:17

God doesn’t make us come up to his level, he comes down to ours - face to face - so that we can understand, follow, trust, and see him in all his glory and all his splendor.  Therefore, do not fear that God is too far above you to be able to talk to him - that is not his character.  He made each of us unique and individualized as they come, and since he made each of us unique and individualized, he comes to each and every one of us as such so that every single one of us can understand him, see him, revel in him, and live in his glory.  

Friends, God is not someone beyond our reach.  No!  He is right here with each and everyone one of us, engaging with us and loving us.  Therefore, talk to him, seek him, and trust him.  For when you do, you will find him, in all his love and splendor, standing face to face with you, arms open wide to hold you and carry you on your way to all glory.

So that the glory of the Lord may appear to you

"...This is what the Lord commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you."

Leviticus 9:6

To be blessed with the glory of God, you must first do what he tells you to do.  

Trust God, do what he tells you to do, he knows what's best for you.

Englarging our territory

“I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory...” Exodus 34:24

When God is the leader in your life, nothing can stop the blessings that is yours for the taking.  Believe, trust in, and hold tight to God - he’s got miles and miles of blessings and riches and favor with your name written all over them.

The prayer of the righteous

"The urgent request of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect." James 5:16

Those who faithfully believe, trust and hope in Christ, with all love with all adoration, make prayers their power, which ends in God-given victory after victory.  Yes, the prayers of the righteous will lead to victory as well as demolish all the petitions of the wicked.

It will be provided!!

“… The Lord will provide…”

Genesis 22:14

Friends, He will provide!!

TRUST!!

The mind cannot even imagine what God has in store

No eye has seen, no ear has heard...

Can you be trusted?

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”

Luke 16:10

Are you trustworthy?

Blessed and more blessed

“Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished.”

-Luke 1:45 NIV

What you believe and whom you choose to believe is exactly what you will receive.
