MY FRIENDS, “TRUST AND OBEY FOR THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!!!”

MY FRIENDS, “TRUST AND OBEY FOR THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!!!”

My friends, Let’s focus on three simple words today TRUST AND OBEY. For the most important thing in these turbulent times we live in today in regards to our Salvation, is in TRUSTING a God that loves us beyond what our finite understanding of the word trust may be and OBEYING all of His precepts found in His Word. There can never be a time where we doubt or TRUST in God and what He is willing to do for His Children.

In addition God will supply all of our needs, He even supplies our wants which is secondary in God’s sight because our wants usually have nothing to do with our Salvation. God’s passion is to save us for His kingdom and our passion should be to want to be saved and if we have allowed God’s Spirit to transform our life into a Character like Christ, then all of our needs and wants will be the same as God’s.

In addition, it then becomes all about given God the PRAISE, GLORY, AND HONOR. God also wants us to understand that He is our only legitimate source of Help. Paul tells us “to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. 1 Tim 4:10 (KJV) So my friends today ask God to supply your needs in whatever way He fills fit to accomplish what He has started in our life.

Philippians 1:6 (KJV) tells us “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” So continued to make you petitions to the Lord as you do His will, while searching the scriptures for his promises as we hold on to our faith and endure until this race is over and you cross over into the promise land.

But in the meantime let’s prepare our Character for what God’s answer to our petitions and what the outcome may be, so ask yourself, How will that Job, house, car, big screen TV, or marriage, honor God and give us Eternal life at the same time. As a Child of God we must continue to focus “in [all] situations and [to] be content. [In addition, we must] know how to be brought low, and [we must] know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, [we must also] learn the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. [Because we] can do all things through him who strengthens [us].”Philippians 4:11-13 (ESV)

And some days we may not here his voice or receive a answer to our request for “In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted” Ps. 77:1-2. But What are our options in a “trying season of waiting”? Remember my friends God has wrote, while at the same time He leads, us through every Chapter of our life.

As we move closer to the end of this life history and Christ soon return, the last chapter is being written. And if we seek God’s presence daily, we know how our story ends, because it all comes down too our love for others and our relationship with God. So today we must ask ourselves do I serve God and others, or do I serve self and the god of this world and whatever honest answer we come up with, tells us how our story will end.

Remember my friends, God has given us His only begotten Son and His Son has Died and has risen for our Salvation. Consistent with this, He now mediates and advocates on our behalf to the Father. So we must TRUST Him to continue to do what seems impossible to us, for our Salvation. But even though “dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”  One day soon those thousand years and that one day will end and God will say to His Son,  Go get my Faithful Children who OBEYED MY WILL AND PUT ALL OF THEIR TRUST IN THE SAVING POWER OF THE CROSS.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
