Become Trustworthy

[Christ4Ever]

Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control. 1 Timothy 2:15

Trust God and you can become more trustworthy. While you won't be perfectly trustworthy even when God is the One you follow, you'll be inclined to become more than a promise maker.

God's desire for you is to reflect His character in your actions, responses, and words. You have the opportunity to inspire others to catch a glimpse of what trust is then point them to the ultimate source of trust.

Do work you won't be ashamed of. Help others to trust God's simple truth. That's today's message, and it gives you a goal God can help you achieve.

God is trustworthy because He always does what He says He will do. You become trustworthy when you obey what He asks. You can learn what He requires by reading God's Word and doing what it says. The Bible isn't an advice column, a book of suggestions, or one of many inspirational texts to consider. The Bible is God's guide to the best life. God and His words can be trusted.

Prayer: Dear God, I would love to be considered worthy of Your trust, and to do that, I must obey what You've asked me to do. Your Word tells me that when You can trust me with small things, You'll entrust bigger things to my care. Help me to become more trustworthy.

 

[Brother-Paul]

Your messages are a blessing brother. TRUST.

If a person asks us to trust them, we find ourselves, either doing so cautiously or saying, WHY? Why should I trust you?

Sadly if we cannot trust one another, how can we trust God, how can we trust in that which is not seen, when we do not trust those who are seen?

A good question I think, but God gives us every reason to trust him.

- God always keeps his promises
- God is always faithful
- God never lies
- God's Word is Truth

Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Isaiah 14:24 (NKJV)
24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand:

Isaiah 59:21 (NKJV)
21 "As for Me," says the LORD, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants," says the LORD, "from this time and forevermore."

Proverbs 3:5-7 (NKJV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

Psalm 100:5 (NKJV)
5 For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

Why then should we trust in God? The answer is very simple, Ask yourself: do I trust my neighbour, they will surely let us down, do I trust myself after all I have even let myself down. But we can trust God, he is omniscient, he is omnipotent, he is omnipresent, he is merciful, he is faithful, he is love. He will never let us down.

Philippians 4:4-8 (NKJV)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

These things we can certainly trust.

Prayer: Dear God, I would love to be considered worthy of Your trust, and to do that, I must obey what You've asked me to do. Your Word tells me that when You can trust me with small things, You'll entrust bigger things to my care. Help me to become more trustworthy.

We come together in agreement in Jesus Name. Amen
