Blessed When We Trust

Published on 9 February 2024 at 12:04

Good morning... Almost afternoon!

Yes I'm sharing another scripture about trust today. Well, you see... I share what God lays on my heart! That being said, this just confirms yesterday's post, that if we put our trust in Him we will be blessed!

I know, easier said than done sometimes, but as I mentioned yesterday if we don't put all of our trust in God... Things will go awry. None of us like it when things in our lives go south. Often we try to blame God or ask why. Has the thought ever come up "what did I do to cause this"?

God gives us freedom of choice. As with our children, you try to direct them, but eventually they make choices that don't turn out right. We can only protect and guide so much. Eventually the choice will be theirs. It's the same with us! If God wanted robots, He would have created them. Instead He wanted children in His image.

If we were to force someone to love and trust us, it wouldn't be the same as if it were freely given by them. God loves us and He celebrates when His children come to Him freely!

We're not in bondage to Him, but we are connected to Him. When someone brings you a gift, you're not obligated to say thank you. However, it is a blessing to them when we show a thankful heart in response to the gift. God gave us the ultimate gift, when He gave us His Son Jesus. If we can say thank you for a gift bag, why can't we say thank you for dieing for me?

The ultimate way to say thank you to Jesus is to put our complete trust in Him!

John 17:1-26[1]These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:[2]As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.[3]And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.[4]I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.[5]And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.[6]I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.[7]Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.[8]For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.[9]I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.[10]And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.[11]And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.[12]While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.[13]And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.[14]I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[15]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[17]Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.[18]As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.[19]And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.[20]Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;[21]That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.[22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:[23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.[24]Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.[25]O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.[26]And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
