TODAY'S LESSON: W.A.I.T.
(WHO AM I TRUSTING)
IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN THE LORD
THAN TO PUT CONFIDENCE IN MAN.
PSALM 118:8
HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT IT?
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON SO MANY PEOPLE.
WE DEPEND ON THE GARBAGE MEN TO TAKE OUR TRASH.
WE DEPEND ON UTILITY WORKERS TO PROVIDE US
WITH HEAT, AIR, ELECTRICITY, WATER, AND PHONE.
WE DEPEND ON T.V. ACTORS AND ACTRESSES TO ENTERTAIN US.
BUT DO WE TRUST THEM?
IN REVELATION JOHN THE REVELATOR RECORDS JESUS SAYING:
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA,
THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
REVELATION 21:6b (of c)
IF HE WAS HERE IN THE BEGINNING
THAN WHO BETTER TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN?
AFTER ALL,
WE CAN'T TRUST OURSELVES.
FOR WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD,
BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST POWERS,
AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD,
AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
EPHESIANS 6:12
AND WE CAN'T TRUST THE WORLD.
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED,
AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD;
ROMANS 3:23
BUT THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD
SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH;
THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES;
THEY SHALL RUN, AND NOT BE WEARY;
AND THEY SHALL WALK, AND NOT FAINT.
ISAIAH 40:31
THAT SOUNDS GREAT,
BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST SOMEONE THAT I CAN'T SEE?
NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR,
THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.
HEBREWS 11:1
WE CAN'T SEE AIR, BUT WE KNOW THAT IT'S THERE.
IT'S NOT THAT WE SHOULDN'T
HAVE ANY "FAITH" IN OUR FELLOWMAN,
IT'S JUST THAT WE OUGHT TO HAVE MORE FAITH IN GOD.
LOOKING UNTO JESUS
THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH;
HEBREWS 12:2
