TRUST HIM ALL THE SAME.

TEXTP: Job 13:15.

 *Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.* 

Though trust and believe may share same definitions on many fronts, but there are slights differences between the two. While Believe speaks of Faith, trust speaks of Hope.

 *Simply trusting in the sovereignty and faithfulness of God is the only option for your many unresolved questions* 

One of the major limitations of many preachers is their ability to always provide answer to every question.

The simple truth is that even our Lord Jesus,(while on earth) did not give answer to every question. He only trusted in the Father's judgement. (Mathew 24:36, Acts 1:6-8).

It was trust that made Job uttered such a statement he uttered. 'Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.'

The Hebrew word "yachal" from which trust was coined can also be translated as _Wait, Hope and Expect._ 

So, to trust God is to Wait for Him, Hope in Him and to Expect Him. Job had simply decided to wait on God. 

 *Waiting on God can be a very difficult thing to do, because man's time and season differs from God's. But wait for Him all the same, for there is great gain in waiting on the Lord.*

 The three Hebrew boys in Daniel chapter 3 demonstrated a great deal of the difference between *Believe and Trust*

In Daniel 3:17 they demonstrated their *Believe in God* 

 _If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out 2of thine hand, O king._ 

In Daniel 3:18, they demonstrated their *Trust in God* 

 _But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up._ 

This should be the attitude of believers today. Bread and Butter Christianity cannot take you farther than to give you bread and butter. It is high time you started trusting in God in all situations.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego BELIEVED God for His delivering POWER,, but TRUSTED in His sovereignty even if He chooses not to deliver them.

 *While believing in God lays a demand on His Power, trusting in Him relies on His sovereignty and providence* 

 *If you have unwaveringly BELIEVED in God and it appears you are not receiving yet,, just TRUST Him that He is at work* .

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

1. Father, help me to always trust in your sovereignty.

Bible Reading: Daniel 3:7-28.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
