Trust God  

1 Timothy 6:17

Tell those who are rich in this world not to be proud

and not to trust in their money, which will soon be

gone. But their trust should be in the Living God, who

richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.  (NLT)

     Everything of this fallen world is quickly fading away and will one day be replaced when the Lord makes everything new.  Nothing from this evil world is trustworthy or true. We cannot rely on anyone but our Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ, for only He can save us from the destruction that is coming to this fallen world.  We cannot take anything with us from this world when we die, only our faith in the promises of God.  The Lord Jesus did not come into our world to condemn us or to make us feel good about ourselves, but to save us from our sins and show us how in need we are of His saving grace.  He came to forgive our sins and promise us an eternal life as it was meant to be.  This promise of living with our God and Savior forever is what gets us through this difficult life, because this world always lets us down and only promises death.

     The Almighty God is the only One we can trust, because all the promises of this dying world will also die.  The world we are now living in is temporary at best and it can only produce those things which are also temporary.  And people who love this temporary world and its riches will eventually be destroyed and replaced with eternal riches.  We were not created to live a temporary life focused on ourselves.  Rather, we were created as eternal beings who would live glorifying the God who created us in His image, to live pure and holy lives, and to worship Him with our praise and thanksgiving.  Don't be sucked into the lies of this evil world, my friend, because if you do you will be sorry.  And do not become so comfortable in the promises of God that you take your eyes off the prize that never stops giving.

                                 A Whisper of Hope

You can trust all My Promises, dear child...for they are not only good in every way, but they are also eternal. I Am the Infinite Lord of creation and I created you to be eternal.  Therefore, all that I promise you is yours forever.

Hebrews 6:18-19

So God has given us both His promise and His oath. These

two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for

God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to Him for refuge

can take new courage, for we can hold on to His promise

with confidence.  This confidence is like a strong and trust-

worthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain

of Heaven into God's inner sanctuary.  (NLT)

           See, God has come to save me, 

 I will trust in Him and not be afraid.
