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.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
