MEMORISE: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. Hebrews 10:35
BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
MESSAGE:
Losing confidence in God’s power can lead to devastating Consequences. When a believer gives up on God, he or she may remain stuck in afflictions or begin to seek help from ungodly sources that only offer temporary relief. This is why it is important to trust God fully in every situation and at all times.
Beloved, when you put your trust in God, you must also do your part in whatever you are trusting God for. For instance, if you are trusting God for a financial breakthrough, you must honour Him with your tithes and offerings (Proverbs 3:9-10, Malachi 3:10).
If it is academic success you are trusting Him for, you must study hard and avoid examination malpractices. Likewise, if you are believing God for peace in your family, you must obey and respect your parents at all times.
My dear child, do not give in to the sinful alternatives that the devil may present to you. Put your trust in God, and He will be your refuge and your ever-present help. He will surely come through for you and provide lasting solutions to any challenges you may face.
PRAYER POINT:
Dear Lord, please help me to continually put my total trust in You, in Jesus’ name.
