Trust in God


 

While Christians profess belief in God, their actions often reveal a greater trust in other things. Genuine trust means acknowledging

God's loving nature, His ability, and His willingness to help. We are reminded that we are utterly dependent on Jesus, but frequently attempt to solve problems independently, only to later seek God's intervention when struggling. God calls us to a constant state of trust, making Him the foundation of every aspect of our lives.


Trusting God means being completely open with Him, more so than with any human. Unlike fallible friends, God welcomes your honesty, especially during tough times. Expressing your feelings to Him through prayer demonstrates this trust. Don't let emotions control you; instead, bring them to God, knowing He understands and cares, not judges. True trust involves turning to God's Word and acting in obedience, relying on Him for security, even when challenging. Like Jesus, who sought His Father in distress, we can find comfort in God's attentive care. Knowing God is on your side strengthens your trust during uncertainty.


Reasons to trust God


1) His superior understanding of our lives and circumstances.

2) His ability to achieve anything, fulfilling our heart's desires. 3) His proven reliability, demonstrated through His character and promises. 4) His preordained plan for our lives, ensuring a purposeful path.


Prayers


Heavenly Father, we thank you for the message we've heard today about trusting in you. We acknowledge our tendency to rely on ourselves and the world around us. We ask that you would deepen our faith, strengthen our resolve, and help us to truly place our trust in your loving hands. May we walk forward, not in doubt, but in confident assurance of your goodness and your perfect plan. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Story of Genesis 37: Joseph’s Dreams and Betrayal

  Genesis 37 marks the beginning of one of the most compelling and dramatic narratives in the Bible—the story of Joseph.  This chapter introduces Joseph as the favored son of Jacob and sets the stage for a series of events that highlight themes of jealousy, betrayal, divine providence, and resilience.Joseph’s Favoritism and DreamsThe chapter opens by noting that Joseph was seventeen years old and that he was favored by his father Jacob above all his other sons because he was born to Jacob in his old age (Genesis 37:2-3). Jacob’s favoritism was symbolized by a richly ornamented robe, often referred to as the "coat of many colors" (Genesis 37:3).  This special treatment caused resentment among Joseph’s brothers, sowing seeds of jealousy and discord.Joseph further exacerbated tensions by sharing his dreams with his family. In his first dream, he described sheaves of grain in the field, where his brothers’ sheaves bowed down to his (Genesis 37:5-7). In the second dream, the s...

The story in exodus 18

  The journey through the wilderness was a test of faith, a series of miraculous provisions and challenging trials. Yet, even as the nation of Israel solidified its identity under God's direct guidance, the practicalities of governance for such a vast multitude became increasingly apparent. Exodus 18 introduces a crucial figure from Moses' personal life and highlights the vital lesson of delegated authority and wise counsel. News of God's mighty acts in Egypt and at the Red Sea had spread far and wide. Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, had heard of everything the Lord had done for Moses and for Israel His people, and how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. He took Zipporah, Moses' wife, whom Moses had sent back to him, and her two sons, Gershom ("a sojourner there") and Eliezer ("My God is my help"), and came to Moses in the wilderness, at the mountain of God (Mount Sinai) (Exodus 18:1-5). This reunion was a poignant momen...

The story in exodus 13

  The air still thrummed with the echoes of weeping from Egyptian homes, a stark contrast to the triumphant, albeit weary, footsteps of hundreds of thousands of Israelites marching out of bondage. The blood-marked doorposts of their homes had served as a shield, and the death of the firstborn had finally broken Pharaoh's will. Now, under the vast expanse of the desert sky, the truly monumental journey of a liberated people began. Exodus 13 chronicles the immediate aftermath of the exodus, focusing on God's commands for remembrance and His constant, visible guidance of His people. As the Israelites embarked on their freedom, the Lord spoke to Moses, establishing a perpetual reminder of their deliverance: "Sanctify to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine" (Exodus 13:2). This was a direct consequence of the tenth plague. God had claimed the firstborn of Egypt, and now, He claimed the firstborn of Is...
