Trust [20120111]

Yesterday I posted my word/life scripture for 2012. Today I'd like to expand on it a little bit.

The definition of my word:
Trust
noun
Reliance on the integrity strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.
verb
To have trust or confidence in; rely or depend on.

It's hard to trust people when one has been mistreated and lied to. Especially when one has been betrayed.

There is ONE who we can fully trust. That ONE is Yahweh/Yeshua.

Just as scripture says:

• Proverbs 3:5: Trust in ADONAI with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding.
• Nahum 1:7: The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.
• Isaiah 26:4: Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

When we rely on our own understanding we get into strife. The adversary is cunning and sly. We must learn to know that without GOD we're completely and utterly lost! Trust HIM today and let HIM be your guide in life.

Hope & Trust

Amidst the upheaval of recent events in my marriage I've been reconciled to God. That being said I'm having to relearn to trust the Lord in trusting my husband in our marriage.

My baby sister sent me this email this evening asking about a song to sing at church. She wanted my help in choosing a song. So, I shared with her one of my favorite Kari Jobe songs. At the end of the message I asked my sister what church she was singing at. She replied and shared what church... she actually is attending this church and helping in ministry there. She also shared what song she sang last. Hope Now by Addison Road.

The Lord whispered to my heart that this is the video I want you to post on your next blog post and He also gave me a piece of scripture to use. So, see below!

“ Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
      And whose hope is the LORD.
       (Jeremiah 17:7, NKJV)

I implore you to seek the Lord's hope & trust in the midst of your storms. He is a shelter in the time of need. Praise the Lord!

Blessings in Trust

If God can bring blessing from the broken body of Jesus and glory from something that's as obscene as the cross, He can bring blessing from my problems and my pain and my unanswered prayer. I just have to trust Him. - Anne Graham Lotz

1 Chronicles 5:20
And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him.
Psalm 25:2
O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me.
Psalm 32:10
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.
Psalm 34:8
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Where do your trusts lie? In Jesus; who gave His life at Calvary for ALL who accept His wondrous gift? What's the worst thing that can happen for you putting your trust in God? A blessing; any blessing? I'd rather be blessed than cursed. God's timing is not our timing. However, He does have good timing. I've experienced it myself. A saved life! Seek God and be blessed.
