Good Morning Everyone,
Our theme for this month: “Trusting God”
Our Bible verse for today: “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:3-4 (NIV)
Our thought for today: “God has proven Himself trustworthy throughout the ages.”
The great French philosopher Blaise Pascal once wrote, “There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of man which can only be filled by God.” This is what Solomon meant when he wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He (God) has also set eternity in the hearts of men.”
As part of our basic human nature we have an innate understanding and awareness that there is more to creation then just the physical world, and there is more to life than just our years on earth. Belief in God and in the supernatural has existed as long as human beings have. Every culture that has ever existed in the history of the world has always maintained a belief in the supernatural, and they have always had gods which they worshipped.
This is especially true when it comes to belief in and understanding of the One True God. Mankind’s awareness of God dates all the way back to the Garden of Eden. The origins of the Old Testament go back more than 3500 years. The New Testament is almost 2000 years old. It’s impossible to calculate how many millions and millions of people over all those thousands of years have had faith in, and trusted in, the One True God. Today there are more Christians on planet earth than at anytime in history and the kingdom of God continues to grow.
Also, many of the most influential and intelligent people in history have had a strong faith in the One True God. Kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers, philosophers and poets, historians and professors, some of the greatest minds that have ever lived have considered the evidence for God and have concluded He is real and He is trustworthy. The case for God is very strong.
And so, as the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 145:3-4, God’s praises have been sung down through the ages; and the stories of His mighty works, of His power, of His faithfulness, and of His trustworthiness, have been passed along from generation to generation – each experiencing Him for themselves in new and fresh ways in their own lives.
And the story continues. In our day God continues to be faithful and trustworthy. Therefore He is worthy of your praise and worship. Trust Him today. Trust Him fully. Then tell others about Him.
God Bless,
