2 Thessalonians Chapter 3, verse 16:
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
God has a set of laws and a way to live that brings us to a happier life than what we had before we came to know God. Gods way are good and were designed by God with a loving caring heart that wants to see the best things happen in our lives. God does care, but in order for us to feel His care in our lives all the time we need to choose to live in Gods ways and to follow His teachings and guidance.
Everyone’s walk with God is a personal thing.
Hebrews Chapter 13, verse 9:
…For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace;…
Hebrews Chapter 13, verse 18:
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
Following God in our new walk starts gently because we are new to His ways and at first find Gods teachings hard to mentally believe and understand but with time and experience we come to a better more mature understanding of God and His will in our lives.
Hebrews Chapter 13, verse 12 – 14:
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
It is clear that with open eyes we can see the world is alive with evil and good. We choose which we want to have in our lives by our thoughts, beliefs and actions.
If we have issues, problems, are unsure of life, confused then we need that closer fellowship and relationship with God.
We all want to feel trusted. If you have some information that you can pass onto someone else that can change that person’s life in a good way it is such a wonderful feeling knowing that they will trust you and are genuinely grateful for your help. God wants your trust because it will change your life. Your growth with God will bring you up from the lows in your life and take you away from the drama’s that you may currently be in and give you the inner-strength to deal with the drama’s in the future that come your way.
It pleases God to know that you have faith in His love for you and it pleases God that you are willing to do what He asks you to do even though you cannot see the way ahead.
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King, Jr
We can try and try again falling always, wondering, scrambling, stumbling and always wondering why we don’t have what it takes to be sane in this crazy world. The sanity is with God. People can buy you a new car, a flash set of clothes, a fancy this or that, new makeup but all that is just an outside covering to make you look good on the outside. People may admire what we have and how we look, but inside we are crumbling like dead and dry clay. The real you is on the inside and no amount of education, money and fame can fix a broken person who has been maimed on the inside – only genuine love, care and God can do that. A spiritually broken person will always remains spiritually broken as long as they follow the weak promises of society. People will search for peace without God but they will not find it.
Isaiah Chapter 26, verses 3 – 4:
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever…
God will give that sweet inner-peace to those who walk His ways and trust Him totally in all that they say, think and do. It is a brave thing to trust in a Spiritual Being that we cannot see but we know loves us, but for me I have found nothing more worthy than following God.
Hebrews Chapter 13, verse 21:
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
He who trust in himself is lost. He who trust in God can do all things. – St Alphonsus Liguori.
2 Samuel Chapter 22, verses 31-34:
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
Trust is letting go and knowing God will catch you – J Dobson.
