Trust

A question I ask is this, where does our trust really linger, on man or GOD,the enticing words of man or the glorious word of GOD? To trust anyone is to have faith on that someone,well how may we trust anyone or even our selves for that matter.

For instance how many time have we heard the words come from mans mouth with sayings like: I trusted you and you let me down, or can I trust and rely on you, and even I don't think you are a trustworthy person anymore,and last but not least , you have destroyed the trust I had in you. To be completely honest about this worldly trust, in which is the unbearable trust of the world, a trust that cannot be trusted, so who can we trust other than GOD?

Please be not discouraged, for we know who is behind this distrust.Should it be needless to say, yes it is, part of it has to do with the infirmities that linger in our flesh, another is the mortal world we live in, and the behavioral patterns of the mortal man, who infact are directed by constrctor of its misery, satan. As we know there is and will always be manipulators,deceivers,and corruptors in the world; who are better known as satan's puppet's, who manipulate,

deceive, and corrupt the word of GOD.

Exactly what else is there to know about this worldly trust, seeing we all have been a victim of such trust. Well, according to the prophet Micah through the guidance of the Holy Spirit wrote in (Micah 7:5) Trust ye not in a friend, put not confidence in a guide. Takes me back to the wholesome words my parents always told me, concerning my so called friends,"don't trust or rely on your friends,when you get in some sort of trouble,because they are not going to be there for you. Also, the only guide you need in your life is GOD, and put all your trust in him. Another passage come to mind is when Paul wrote his second letter to the church in Corinth, stating that they should not trust in one self, but to put all their trust in GOD, (2Cor. 1:9).

The misleading trust of this world, the next person,or oneself is of no good to us, and again we should only have trust in GOD. If we are caught in the distruting word full of lies and vanity just because we want to here what man has to say. For certain one maybe deceived, and perhaps may be in danger of loosing thier way (Job 15:31). I truly believe that the recompense shall be that one's pride gets in the way, who gets extremely puffed up becomes blind and perhaps eventually turn against GOD. Which inreturn GOD turn and hides his face from that one, in loosing that opportunity or place with GOD. The person that is in that perdicament will also begin to speak nonsense, being involved in their own vanity, and they terefore become blind(Mat. 15:14). Well, can it get any simpler than this, does one really think that he is better than GOD, or have much more understaning than he (GOD),or believe they have more knowledge, GOD forbid. I myself would not have any kind of trust or relation with such a person.

Reluctance and skeptism is confusion in its self, and we know that it will create and genertaes human error which is a form of doubt. In knowing this it is safe to assume that this is the act of corruption in the human nature. In fact doubt is one of the reasons why there is a large number of lost souls in the world. People who deceive themselves by their own hurtful beliefs. disregarding what they might have heard, or even read out of the gloious gosple of GOD. You know what out of the same book that they have read also draws a picture of the circumstances they are in, living life in doubt (Deut. 28:66), this kown to those that are GOD's trueworshipers as the cures of disobedience.

We of all people know and shouldknow just how easy to those who are untrained by the word of GOD can be taken by and deveived with enticing words, and may have some of impact in their thoughts and perhaps even create some doubtful questions. Well, accoroding to the scriptures, as we all know we should noe be caught or even be involved in such scenarios. Simply because we belong to GOD, and therefore we worship him in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:23-24).

As we have familiarized ourselves with the words truth and trust, is it safe to think that these two words be apart of the same wording and understanding, although they have different meanings but in the eyes of GOD thier consistency means the same: For instance, The true word of GOD that leads us to the truth, is the truth that shall set you free. In any case, what it all boils down to is this , who are we going to trust. Truth or lies, and the enticing words of man or the word of GOD? Infact the word of GOD gives warning in connection to the very acts of lies and enticing words (Rom. 16:18)

Thank GOD for his glorious gospel that not only teaches but does infact gives us warning, and tells us who they are, what happens, and what is to become of those who fail him, and I'm speaking of the backsliders. What we need to be aware of is the damnable nature if sin can and will divert our heavenly Father away from anyone (Is. 59:1-4).

So I say lets put all our trust in him, his love, and his tender mercy that he has towards us even the whole world for that matter. He has done everything in his part, so lets meet him half way,and as we also know just how faithful he is, so, we therefore need to be just as faithful. Lets lay aside everything that can separate and destroy our relationship with GOD. We sould have all our complete trust in him (Ps 40:4; 71:5)

To trust in GOD is to leave everything in his hand and that means all our cares and anxiety(1Pet. 5:7). If there is any confidence in anyone, lets have it with our Father which is in Heaven. After all lets consider everything he has done for us starting with the creation of this world, and most importantly our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, was sent to die, be buried, and raise from the dead for the salvation of those who will follow, and if there are any blessing that we have received blessed be our Heavenly Father. Everything there is to know about GOD, Jesus, and our christian life can be found in the Holy word of GOD, for they are his words, thoughts, knowledge, wisdom,and his understandings. All that is written in therein is for the benefit of all those who will abide to his will (Ps.141:8), in this passage we notice the word destitute, and find the mwaning of it : utterly impoverished. In the usage here the author, being David, comes to relize just how rich he has become in the glory and the Grace of GOD, and pleads in his prayer not tobe left in the poverty of darkness of this world.

In conclusion, just as we are living, acting, and utilizing everything in obedience of his comamndments, living life by GOD's will, is the trust we therefore have in GOD. Through prayer and supplication everything is reaveled before him, even though he already knows everything before hand, we become undoubtedly an open vessel before his eyes. By obedience and engaging by his rules he forgives from anything that is forgivable (1Jo.1:9).We therfore confide and trust in GOD forever(1Jo.3:18-24),and may the purity of GOD's trust linger on us as well and forever (1Jo.5:14-20)

Lets keep in mind that spiritusl suicide is the act of backsliding, if we do not return soon, is a sure case of death.

Considering old cliche's of the human nature,"We're only human what is to be expected"? Is a sure sign of weakness, spiritusl weakness, and everyone use it as an escapegoat just to justify thier sinful actions.
