TRUST.

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.* 

*Psalm:20.7* 
 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. .8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

--------------------------------------------
 Trust is the confidence and reliance on something, someone or a standard. Here within scripture, horses and chariots are used to mean physical things . Wealth, security, and people are examples of them. 

We are saved by the blood of the lamb ,and in yesterday's scripture we saw how Christ after having risen from the dead...gave us ultimate power including protection. However, even with such privilege as children of God, some have less confidence and less reliance on their spiritual Lord. They trust that accumulating wealth will save them in the times of trouble. They think that the people that they surround themselves with will rescue them when there is trouble. And that having such people will open new doors in their lives. They start to believe that having immense wealth will open opportunities for them, generate fame and great honour. They rely so much on their businesses that they have limited time for God.

It is not the physical qualities and wealth that will position you. It is God who positions one and demotes the other. It is not people who will protect. If God gave up on you, your life will be no more.

Trusting in such materials will only lead to disappointments. You will chase the future but never find it. Those that trust in horses will fall.
The trust in the Lord Jesus yields ultimate confidence. Those that trust Him will rise. The Lord who opens doors will open them. The Lord who makes the land green will make their land...I mean their lives green.
What have you over relied on. Is it your business that you over rely on?. Is it your wife , your husband, your children.? Is it your academics? If you have more thoughts for material things, for your business than thoughts for God, then your reliance is chariots.

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
