You Can Trust Him...Follow His Path

What path are you on? Are you trusting in Him?
Today's Scripture:
The person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord will show him that he can be trusted.

Jeremiah 17:7

As you know, it takes a while to build trust in any relationship. Think about your best friends. You didn't just decide to trust one another; you trust each other because you know one another to be trustworthy. And if a friend ever betrays your trust, you know how long it takes to build back that trust.

You have lots of reasons to trust God. Here's a list of the top ten: (10) He is the Creator of the universe; (9) He never changes-never; (8) He knew you even before you were born; (7) He has been around a long time, is not going anywhere, and is everlasting; (6) He knows how many hairs are on your head or if you are a little older like me...how many you have lost; (5) He has a plan for your life that is beyond your wildest dreams; (4) He hears your prayers; (3) He can divide an ocean in two; (2) His love for you knows no limits; and (1) He loves you so much that he allowed His only Son to die as payment for your pardon. There are just a few example from the Bible of God's strength, power, knowledge, longevity, and love for you.

The stresses and challenges of everyday life can make you lose sight of God's trustworthiness.

You can't always see evidence of God's faithfulness. But to trust a person means you continue to trust even in the absence of direct evidence. Do you want to strengthen your trust in God? Remind yourself of the things you know to be true about His faithfulness.

Selah people' and friends as we shared in our sermon message today Parents are called to help lead their children to trust in God. We need to be loved and have that touch from a hug, a handshake, a pat on the back. How about today as a community of faith we choose to trust God with something you have never given to him before-perhaps a request, a dream, or a problem you didn't think he could handle. Give it to God. Remember; when he lights your path you can be confident that you can trust him with anything.

"Peace be us as we place our Love and trust in Him."
