Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
(Psalms 46:10 KJV)

 
Proverbs 3:6 – In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I was speaking with a friend regarding a mutual acquaintance who had in previous gatherings admonished us for our “foolish ways” regarding God.  We realized that this individual thought both of us foolish because we go to God for everything on a daily basis. My friend and I don’t judge anyone, so therefore, after our analysis as to why he thought us foolish, we spoke about other things that we had in common.  However, prior to moving on we both concurred that it must be an empty existence living without God. In fact it’s not living if it’s without God.

The trusting factor weighs in heavily when one is in tune with our Father. In aspects of all things in which we go through during the course of our lifetime, it’s fundamentally easier when faith allows the flood gates of trust to be opened. Where there is trust there is confidence and a buoyancy in our footsteps as we proclaim the belief that all things can be accomplished through and with Christ. Even at our bleakest moments the trusting barometer is at an all time high as we unabashedly realize that God will lead us through it.

1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

There isn’t any room for fear in our hearts or lives…because God’s love casts it aside.  His love is our proclamation and assurance that consistent peace will rein in our lives beause of His perfect love. Anxiety, fear, doubt, worry, however you choose to label it, and whatever it is you’re going through–Cast it away in HIS NAME, for fear is not made in perfect love.  And, in all things that He does and provides is perfect, warm, loving, kind and fulfilling.  In fact, His love is categorically substantial in providing all that we need, every single day of our lives.

Psalms 56:3-4 – What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

There will be times when the ‘father of lies’ will play with your head.  And, will push intruding thoughts of self-degradation into your mind. The very thoughts of which is the antithesis of LOVE–and hence, will bring fear…if we allow it.  Especially when one is vulnerable, that’s the time when the ‘enemy’ will cram the lies full force down your throat and into your head. Feeding you his sickening vile food and slamming your mind with debris. That is when you immediately push it away, don’t harbor any longer than a nano second!  Trust in God and look to Him for the answer to the doubts, guilt, or anxiety that the  enemy is working so hard at providing.

Galatians 5:1 – Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

Jesus freed us with His love.  His sacrifice broke our chains and we can rejoice and proudly state our freedom each and everyday of our lives.  We can live a life that is fulfilling while in our terrestrial bodies and smile with satisfaction knowing full-well that our celestial bodies will live on forever, thanks to our Lord of lords, and King of kings…our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 26:3 – Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Trust in God is our perfect circle of love, truth, and peace.  It is our infinite gift and the reason for tranquil nights and sunshine-filled moments.  It is the elevation of one’s soul as it advances fully doing one accord the purpose of which we were created.  It is our anchor of sobriety in this drunken world of hypocrisy, and the common thread of decency that runs through our hearts in which we love.

If any of you encounter an acquaintance that thinks you’re foolish in how you love God and how you live your life, pray for them in your daily prayers that perhaps they will one day experience the joy and peace of knowing, loving and trusting God.

Then smile knowing full-well you can TRUST God to fulfill all of His promises as long as we are willing to walk in His ways..

Psalms 37:23-24 – The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
