Revelation of the Word:

THEME: BELIEVE IN GOD

Jeremiah 17:5-8 NKJV

“Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”

INSIGHT

–There is folly in misplaced trust. Some trust in wealth, fame, achievements, connections, health and other gods. That one is cursed and shall not see good in the land. On the flip side, those who believe in the Lord and know their God, they shall b me strong and do exploits. They shall be blessed and they shall prosper in all that they do.

SUMMARY

Believing in God is the most prodigious gift than an individual can make in life. God is Sovereign, Good, in control and trustworthy even if everything seems out of control. God never changes. He is the same yesterday today and forever thus reliable (Hebrews 13:8). God is our source of our strength and courage. God calls us to believe in Him and not to let our hearts be troubled but to believe in Him (John 14:1). Thomas doubted and Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29). Jesus calls us to have faith in Him even though what we wait for has not yet been delivered. Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Abraham was showed the stars and the sand of the sea and promised to become the father of many nations. That promise lives on with us (Romans 4:16-18). Sometimes, when presented with the allure of sin, one should be able to see through its deception and believe God and His promises. To obey God like Abraham and Noah and enjoy His peace and prosperity. Believing in God requires total submission to God and His will, and we shall never be disappointed.
