Trust in God

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. -Psalm 56:11
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. -Psalm 62:8
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. -Psalm 71:1
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. -Proverbs 3:5

——-BECAUSE——-

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. -1 Corinthians 1:18

There are only two groups: those that perish and those that are saved.
Which one are you in???

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.  For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:  But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;  But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:  -1 Corinthians 1:19-28

Situational awareness

As we wonder about the meaning of an incident or experience we’ve gone through, or are going through, let the Holy Spirit explain it to you:

If it is the Holy Spirit pulling on you, then it will draw you closer to the Lord.

If Satan is the author, then it will draw you away from the Lord.

Come to Jesus

Father I know I have need of You

I know that I have only been characterized by failure, clumsiness, and offense (offenses of omission as well as commission)

Father I know I need You

and Father I thank You for the gift of Jesus Christ, Whom I hereby acknowledge as my Lord and Savior

I ask You, to take over my life

I ask You, not only for His redemption but also for His lordship

and I ask You right now Father, to give me through Your supernatural Holy Spirit, the strength, the resolve, and all that it takes from this day forward to walk not by power nor by might but by Your Holy Spirit

That through Your Holy Spirit You would instruct me for all of those things that I don’t understand

and yet Father I thank You for the gift of that understanding as You choose to reveal it to me

I ask all these things Father, that I indeed might be hereby part of Your forever family in Jesus Christ

Amen
