About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"DO YOU REALLY TRUST JESUS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
DO YOU REALLY TRUST JESUS?
I WONDER WHY IT IS THAT SOME PEOPLE, EVEN CHRISTIANS, DO NOT TRUST JESUS? OH, I KNOW THEY SAY THEY DO BUT DO THEY? I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TRUST SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW. WE WOULDN'T TRUST A PERFECT STRANGER, OR EVEN A NEW ACQUAINTANCE, WITH SOME OF THE THINGS IN OUR LIVES BUT JESUS SHOULD NOT BE A STRANGER TO ANY OF US. GET TO KNOW HIM THROUGH HIS WORD. HE EVEN SAYS IN JEREMIAH 29:18 THAT HE WILL DELIVER US BECAUSE WE HAVE TRUSTED HIM. "For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord". ARE YOU TRUSTING HIM?
DO YOU KNOW WHY WE SHOULD TRUST JESUS? UNLIKE MEN, HE NEVER LIES AND NEVER FAILS TO FULFILL HIS PROMISES. THAT IS WHAT IT SAYS IN NUMBERS 23:19 AND PSALM 89:34. I WILL QUOTE THEM BOTH, "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" AND "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips." THIS IS OUR LORD'S WORDS ASSURING US THAT WE CAN TRUST HIM AND HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS. AND YET, THERE ARE SOME THAT STILL DON'T TRUST HIM.
DO YOU KNOW HOW ELSE YOU CAN KNOW WE CAN TRUST HIM? WE CAN LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST, IN OUR LIVES AND OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. THIS IS WHY I HAVE ASKED FOR PRAISE REPORTS FROM YOU ALL TO GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT TO THOSE WHO MIGHT BE HAVING A HARD TIME AT THAT MOMENT. HEARING WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US SHOWS THAT HE WILL DO IT FOR THEM IF THEY ONLY TRUST IN HIM.
LET'S LOOK AT IT THIS WAY AND THEN I WILL CLOSE. SHOULD WE TRUST IN OURSELVES OR IN OTHER SINFUL, UNPREDICTABLE, UNRELIABLE, PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIMITED WISDOM AND WHO SOMETIMES MAKES BAD CHOICES AND DECISIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR EMOTIONS? I TRIED TO THINK OF MORE BUT I THINK YOU SEE THE POINT. OR, SHOULD WE TRUST IN THE ALL-WISE, ALL-KNOWING, ALL-POWERFUL, GRACIOUS, MERCIFUL, AND LOVING SAVIOR WHO LOVES US. I COULD HAVE PUT DOWN A LOT MORE BUT I THINK YOU GET THE POINT HERE ALSO.
FROM ALL OF THIS, I KNOW WHO I AM GOING TO PUT MY TRUST IN AND I HOPE YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE ALSO. GET TO KNOW HIM. HE HASN'T MADE HIMSELF HARD TO FIND. HE IS RIGHT THERE IN YOUR BIBLE TO FELLOWSHIP WITH AND RIGHT THERE IN YOUR HEART TO LOVE YOU. WHAT MORE COULD WE ASK?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
