Trusting in Humans or Trusting in God

Trusting in Humans or Trusting in God This is what the Lord says: "A curse is placed on those who trust other people, who depend on humans for strength, who have stopped trusting the Lord. They are like a bush in a desert that grows in a land where no one l… Continue

God is Good Even in the Dark Hours of Life

God is Good Even in the Dark Hours of Life God is good even in the dark hours of life, not because of what He does, but because of Who He is. I often find people struggling with trusting God when they experience pain in this life of some sort. Many times this pain is associated with the loss of a loved one or close friend. I want to share my experience, my losses in life, and give hope for a bright today and tomorrow. Since 1992 my wife and I have lost 10 people, of which one was over 80, one… Continue

The Middle Verse in the Bible

“It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” (Psalm 118:8, Amp) The next verse is similar: “It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.” (v.9) Say, isn’t that what the Bible is all about? Isn’t it so we will come to know our Maker and put our trust in the One who made us? Besides, He wrote the manual! He knows us, and He knows what is best for us…. …but… …we stupid humans think that worldly wisdom a… Continue

Trust, Love, and Walls

To truly love you have to give up control and risk getting hurt. This is a scary thing; however, those who won’t take the risk will not get to truly know what love is or how great it feels. To truly love God, you have to give up yourself. You give up control of your life, and you place it in God’s hands. Then and only then will you begin to receive all the love God has for you. Lack of trust is a wall between you and God. That wall must be broken down before true relationship can begin. You… Continue

Trusting God for Everything!

To live by faith means to "Totally Trust God for Everything!" Now really think about that. "Everything". Your job, your spouse, your relationships, your money, your car, your positions, and every situation. Everything! It means when things don't make sense in the natural that you have the belief that God is working everything out, even when it looks like things are falling apart. It is knowing that things are actually falling "together". It means trusting that everything will be ok. How hard… Continue

See-saws!!

I used to love them as a kid ... just as long as you had someone to see-saw with, and just as long as it wasn't a mean kid, who'd jump off when you were in mid-air!! But, as a grown-up, I've discovered that see-saws aren't that much fun... well, the ones I've tried lately haven't been. I'm talking about the see-saws of indecision, and not knowing really what the Lord wants us to do. Most of it has been related to finance, and I know many are in the same spot. Making right financial decisions i… Continue

Rust About Trust

From My Perspective - - - Inasmuch as this nation declares “In God We Trust” and pledges that we are “One Nation, Under God”, one would have the impression that foundational to our heritage would be a strong belief system that embraces a power greater than ourselves Who controls the affairs of mankind in the world. In a Presidential contest, we want to know the “church” a candidate attends and what an individual believes. It’s no secret that “religion” has been in the spotlight of the curre… Continue

Your will be Done

Lord, You know my hopes and dreams. You know the plan You have for my life. You know what's hurting me. And now I put my trust in You and You alone. I give You all the hurt and pain and trust You to see me through. Written 10th December 2007, the day after a dedication at church. I cried on a friend's shoulder during the dedication. Continue

Trust is the Word of the Day--Author: Lysa TerKeurst

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6 (NIV) Devotion: I have been up most of the night with a sick child. The fever, coughing, aching, can't sleep a wink kind of yuck has hopped on my Ashley. The same Ashley that is supposed to be competing in our state gymnastics meet this weekend. She has been healthy and feeling great all week... but yesterday… Continue

Does God Answer our Prayer?

Does God Answer our prayer? God tells us to give our concerns to him. Even as the situation remains dismal, "Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."12 The circumstances may look out of control, but they aren't. When the whole world seems to be falling apart, God can keep us together. This is when a person can be very grateful that they know God. "The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made kn… Continue

Trust

What would happen if the things that are immediate problems in your life went as bad as you imagine they could? Where would you be? It's a horrible question and you might wonder why I would ask it unless of course I wanted to cause you pain and grief. But the truth is it's a question God has asked me many times when I was in the middle of something I thought was unbearable. What could possibly happen to us that could take us out of his hands. Where could we end up that he couldn't reach us? I'm… Continue

As a Little Child

When we’re Children the world is new and a place to be discovered. As GK Chesterton said, We’re excited not just because Lilly opened a door to find a land of fairies but because Lilly, a small kid just like us, figured out how to open the door. Reality is romantic because it’s mysterious. We don’t know that a rose bush is going to produce the same color rose every year. Next year instead of red they may be yellow. We don’t see things as forgone conclusions; the world still holds mystery and mag… Continue
