Topic: Trust and Obey (don't write about the song) (05/21/15)
Where do we put our trust as we go through life with all it's turmoil and dark and gloomy times? Are we one that says, "I do not trust anyone but myself?" "I can gather many riches and be self sufficient in my time of need?" Then again, we may put our trust in a friend who we think will always stay by us. Or maybe we are saying, " I put all my trust in the government as they will take care of me?"

Did we ever notice that even our forefathers realized they were not able to make decisions with all their knowledge available without turning to a Higher Authority? On our coins, money, and official buildings we see the words of our nations founders as they looked for guidance. Our country has been successful in many ways because we have a Partner we can trust. Yes, IN GOD WE TRUST, is everywhere we look in our nation and God has been good to us in His blessing of nations.

We see in the Bible where our Lord Jesus is telling his disciples and others that were listening, Mark 10 verses 24-25: "Children how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

So we can see that riches, friends, and government are not the answer we are seeking. They may help us in the immediate short time but over the long haul, only our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the answer. The Son Of God, who shed his blood on the cross for our salvation , if we put our trust and faith in Him, He will carry us over our times of need.

One of these days we will all lay down our physical body to rest and leave it. Our spiritual body lives on in eternity forever, and pray we will all be in the Hands of our Gracious and All Mighty Lord and Savior and be rejoicing by His side.

Trust this Sunday will find us all in the church of our choice, worshiping and praising our trusted Friend and Savior Jesus Christ.

True statements here. We have to put our trust in the Lord, otherwise we will miss that peace that passes all understanding. We need to remember that riches don't bring the happiness we expect, only a relationship with God does that. Thanks for sharing.
