Reason to Trust

Most of the news we hear or see is not good. Most news casts are full of bad news. There are wars, terrorist threats, crimes, natural disasters, and a host of unsettling events.This constant stream of negative news can lead to anxiety and fear. In the midst of all the turmoil peace is possible; it all depends on our focus. When we trust on the Lord, we won’t be shaken, no matter how bad the news of the day is. When you know Christ you have nothing to fear in the present, and everything to hope for in the future. God controls time and eternity, and He never changes. He will keep us calm and full of peace, when we look to Him.

Are you looking to Christ today?

Harvest of Blessings

Psalm 67 holds the key to getting the worlds attention for Christ. This brief Psalm prayer asked to see the nations of the world singing joyfully because of God’s salvation and righteousness. But how can this vision be fulfilled? The prayer began by asking for God’s mercy, blessing and favor [v1]. These requests aren’t made selfishly but with the  purpose of testifying to God’s goodness so the world will know Him and His ways [v2]. Verses 3 and 5 direct us to praise God as a testimony. The world tries to make us afraid to praise God openly. Our praises will bring a harvest of blessings and encourage the world to fear God. [v7].

True Prophet

A true prophet of God will preach the truths of God’s Word for the glory of God and for the good of the hearers. A false prophet, like a bad tree will produce bad fruit. A true prophet will exhibit the fruit of the Spirit [Gal. 5:22-23] We should know our Bible well enough to detect false teaching and false teachers. Discern between a preacher or teacher who wants to exalt himself and one who truly desires to exalt the Lord.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  Matthew 7:20 (KJV)

Be Generous

Studies show that the less a person has, the more generous that person will likely be. This was true for the poor widow Jesus observed who gave away all she had left to live on. The others who gave alms that day gave what they could easily afford. Our generosity reflects the focus of our, lives either others or our selves. Our generosity also reveals the source of trust either God or possessions.

And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury: Mark 12:43 ASV

Watch Out for Scoffers

The dangers we face every day are more than physical or financial. Since we live in a diverse culture with many religions, some of the greatest threats target our beliefs. But this is not just a contemporary problem. Since the time of Christ, people have mocked God’s truth and led astray those who believed God’s promises. Peter reminded believers to watch out for such scoffers who were motivated by their own lustful desires. He also encouraged believers to stay focused on the truth of God’s Word.

 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2 Peter 3:3 KJV

Perfect Justice

Exacting revenge is exhausting work! Seeing that an unjust person gets what he deserves takes energy. Even fighting for fairness and justice saps our joy and vitality. So, when bone tired from trying to put your world right side up, come sit a spell at Jesus’ feet. Listen as He gently reminds you He alone is Lord and will finally subdue all things. Before He is through, all injustice will be dealt with and all unfairness will receive a right condemnation. He does all things perfectly and will execute perfect justice. If you are troubled today, rest in His presence.

Full of Compassion

During a sporting event fans yell for their teams, never giving up and walking proudly even if they loose. When their teams fail to make a big play, they have no intention of changing teams next season.The Psalmist says that God is our cheering fan. God loves us. That’s so hard for us to believe. We don’t deserve His love. But just as true fan will support his team even when their losing. God loves us no matter what. That’s why He is called a God full of compassion. All he asks is that you accept His love and love Him in return.

But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth. Psalms 86:15 HCSB
