God knows
you by your name.
He knows
even the number of the hairs in your head.
He also
knows you need food and clothes and other things.
But that’s not
the best part, the best part is God cares. I know this because God is Love and
Love is Kind and Caring.
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because
He cares for you.
No God
cannot forget you!
Isaiah
49:15 "Can
a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she
has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
Has God not
blessed you before?
Has God not
provided for you before?
Has God not
led you before?
What then
can stop Him from doing even more?
But you
have to trust in God.
Proverbs
3:5 Trust in the LORD
with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
This is the
biggest lesson of life; learning to trust God. And it is not an easy thing to
do. Sarah laughed when she heard that she would be pregnant. The Israelites even
though they had seen the wonders of God; the parting of the red sea they did
not trust God but complained and grumbled against God in the wilderness.
Psalm 78:22
for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.
You cannot
Trust in God and at the same time speak or act contrarily. I have actually
found that when I find it hard to trust in God and I’m tempted to complain all I
have to do is to look back at the string of testimonies of God’s Love in my
life then I find that I’m able to trust in God.
Sometimes just hearing someone else’s
testimony is enough to help me to keep trusting in God. God cannot just say
Trust me from nowhere. He wants us to consider the works He has done in the
heavens, on the earth, in our families, in our lives and in other people’s
lives.
Psalm 78:7 Then
they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep
his commands.
God simply
wants us to finally realise that He is not like other Gods who though they have
eyes cannot see and though they have ears cannot hear. Other gods who cannot
give life because they themselves do not have it.
Psalm 96:5 For all the gods of the peoples are
idols, But the LORD made the heavens.
God wants
you to know without doubt that He is very real and very alive. A Real Father, A
Real Friend, A Real Saviour, A Real Healer, A Real Helper……
John 15:14 You
are My friends if you do what I command you.
But you
cannot experience any of this if do not approach God. The cares of this life
are many, we have many needs and wants.
If you carry all of your burdens on
your shoulders you get weary, you get sick, you get depressed and stressed. If
you share your burdens with other people, they also get wearied and depressed
or they gossip and laugh.
Psalm
108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help
of man.
But if you
take it to Jesus; He will give you rest. This does not mean that you won’t cry
or suffer. It means that even though you may cry and suffer you will always
have a reliable and faithful companion leading you to victory for life.
Mathew
11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest.
But if you
continue carrying your burdens, satan will find opportunity to take the Word of
God from you and Jesus will come back at a time you are carrying your own
burdens because you failed to trust in God and just as the Israelites who did
not trust God did not see the promised land so those who fail to trust in God
will not see the Kingdom of heaven.
Luke 21:34 But
watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation,
drunkenness, and the worries of life--and that day will spring upon you
suddenly like a snare.
Remember even to Trust in God, we need God's help for we can do nothing by ourselves. So then let us ask the Holy Spirit of God to help with our unbelief. When Peter was sinking when he was trying to walk on water, he called out and Jesus helped him. Another man also believed and still he asked Jesus to help him.
Mark 9:24 Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
God bless!
