Simply Trust God!
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
With the recent occurrences of disheartening announcements concerning the possibility of the interruptions of various governmental support programs; as well as the victimization of our children and young adults, many people here in America are overly concerned about what they are hearing and observing. People were wondering what’s next. Will the nation’s government continue be headed by someone whom many people feel don’t have their best interest at heart or will this government shutdown be ongoing forever? How long will people be expected to work and not receive their wages, nor maintain the ability to purchase necessary items… or will they be forced to amend their life styles? What will happen?
Well.. I just need to remind you that it matters not what impact our judicial system may have on the economy; nor the display of local terrorism and the like; we cannot permit the spirit of fear to invade our spirits! Matters not who our president is nor the negative situations which are occurring …… Our response must be, “I’ll simply trust God”.
The Bible is full of example after example depicting how the Lord moved on behalf of His people – when they trusted Him. However when we decide to lean to our own understanding – disaster will be our fate. God’s word is always true and will always prevail in every situation – if we remain faithful to it. Now is not the time to “throw in the towel” and give up. Now is the time to put to work all that you have studied and learned about the Lord. Now is the time to prove the Lord’s faithfulness and to take him at His word.
To trust is to:
T – Turn: Turn from the negative reflections and the opinions of those who are not adhering to
what God has decreed. (I Corinthians 15:33 & 34)
R – Rest: Rest in the promises of God. Cast your cares on Him. (I Peter 5:7)
U – Uproot: Uproot…. Go to the source of whatever is attempting to choke out your peace;
attack the root not the fruit! Remember.. It’s a spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12)
S – Stand: Stand on what the Lord has said. Gird up the loins of your mind and stand! (I Peter
1:13)
T – Transform: Transform your vocabulary by renewing your mind; so that you will only speak
faith filled words. (Proverbs 18:21)
Therefore it matters not what our judicial system decides….we can choose to operate according to a system which is superior to that system. We can walk according to the mandates of God’s kingdom. When we walk governed by kingdom principles; we will be the recipients of His kingdom blessings – and we will have available to us His kingdom provision… REGARDLESS.
Refuse to engulf the spirit of fear that is attempting to invade many at this time. God’s promises are true and remember…
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19
Our hope….. and our trust MUST be in Him! SIMPLY TRUST GOD!!!!!!
