Good Morning Everyone,
Our theme for this month: “Trusting God”
Our Bible verse for today: “When I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Psalm 56:3-4 (HCSB)
Our thought for today: “You can trust God.”
Who, or what, do you trust in? Most Christians would respond that they trust in God, and that, of course, would be the correct answer. But do we really? Do our lives really reflect a deep and abiding trust in God? Or, do we claim to ultimately and primarily trust God, but then live as if our trust is really in our career, our paycheck, our bank account, our spouse, our friends, and ourselves?
The great American evangelist of the 1800’s, D.L. Moody once wrote, “Trust in yourself and you are doomed to disappointment. Trust in your friends and they will die and leave you. Trust in money and you may have it taken away from you. Trust in reputation and some slanderous tongues will blast it. But trust in God and you are never confounded in time or in eternity.”
All this month we will explore the topic of trusting in God. We will consider what trust is, why God is worthy of our trust, how we can structure our lives based upon a deep and abiding trust in God, and how we can then actually live our lives trusting in God (as opposed to trusting (in actual practice), in anyone else or in anything else).
God alone is the only faultless, perfect, and completely dependable One. Therefore He alone is the One we must trust in. I look forward to learning more about this great truth with you.
God Bless,
Pastor Jim
