Dave’s Monday Blast – August 6, 2018
Can you trust God? Can we confidently trust in His promises? Even the most mature Christ follower has moments of doubt as they walk through life. Our experiences, and the experiences of those around us can cause us to question the motives and methods of God.
However, one of the greatest truths about our great God is His unchanging nature. While the gods of man’s invention are capricious and changeable, the true God of the universe, the God of Scripture, is unchanging and therefore…ultimately trustworthy.
In Malachi 3:6 God declares, “I the Lord do not change.”
In Numbers 23:19 we are told, “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.”
In James 1:17 we are assured that God “does not change like shifting shadows.”
What all of these biblical truths mean for us is that God’s Word is reliable. We can trust His promises. We have reason to hope in His Faithfulness. So…the next time you are facing doubt, discouragement, or a trial in life, remember, “trust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART, lean not upon your own understanding, in ALL YOUR WAYS, acknowledge Him and He will DIRECT YOUR PATH.”
Consider throughout this week what these “trust” PHRASES mean:
1. With all your heart
2. With all your ways
3. How He directs your path
A great study for an INTENTIONAL MAN would be to examine the promises of God.
Make it a good one brothers…you can not get a moment of today back…redeem the day!
