Worldwide News: “No Matter what – TRUST IN THE LORD!”

The Bible says, “Trust in the LORD GOD at all times ye people, pour out your heart before HIM: GOD is a refuge for us. Selah.” (Psalm 62:8)

 

BRING IT DOWN ON HOME:

Every one of you have encountered manifold problems and/or circumstances which threw a monkey wrench into your path. Never mind the problems as the enemy will make darn sure you have several bad days in a row and a terrible new year. Maybe you got up this morning feeling great but somebody called you with bad news or the car battery died  or the washing machine stopped working or you slipped down the stairs and broke your leg.  At this moment, you don’t feel like trusting in the LORD because you feel that HE doesn’t care about you!   Too many many many bad things happened in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, and so on. Maybe you never completely recovered from the loss of a loved one or from financial disasters. Maybe you’re still paying for Christmas gifts from 2012 as you over indulged.

Honey, you are wrong to doubt the LORD! Not only do you feel down and out, we all have good and bad days. There ain’t a soul on this earth who are not suffering from one thing or another. Just ask king David as his daughter (Tamar) was raped by her half-brother, Ammon. One minute Ammon was madly in love with his sister (they had different Mothers but the same Father) and the next minute he hated her! Next, Absalom (Tamar’s older brother) ordered his servants to kill Ammon. Then, king David refused to execute Absalom and banished him. During Absalom’s exile, he stirred up trouble for king David.  Absalom banned distraught men and women against his own Father.  Eventually, Absalom took over the king’s palace and had sex with the king’s concubines (left at the palace to look after things). You see, king David (refusing to fight Absalom) fled from his own palace.

Talk about trouble!  In fact, GOD told king David that the sword would never, never leave his house. As you know, king David slept with Bathsheba (who was married to Uriah the Hittite) and ordered the death of Uriah!  Shortly afterwards, Bathsheba lost her firstborn!  What a shame!  Whatever the situation is and/or the dEVIL’s plight against you and yours, there is hope and that hope is in CHRIST JESUS.

According to David’s Psalm 62, there are sevenfold reasons to trust in the LORD GOD:

(1) GOD IS OUR ROCK

(2) GOD IS OUR SALVATION

(3) GOD IS OUR DEFENSE

(4) GOD IS OUR EXPECTATION

(5) GOD IS OUR GLORY

(6) GOD IS THE ROCK OF OUR STRENGTH

(7) GOD IS OUR REFUGE. 

Take all the time to meditate on Psalm 62!  Like David, allow your soul to wait upon the LORD GOD. Why worry about tomorrow because you cannot fix things!  Do not take matters into your own hands. There is only one Judge – THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. Folks may have done you wrong, but there is only ONE who can repay them for sins committed against you!

David said, “Surely men of low degree are vanity and men of high degree are a lie.” (Psalm 62:9) How many men do you know even tell the truth? How many men of low degree talk in vanity and/or out the side of their necks – trying to impress folks! Another Scripture says, “Put not your trust in man because he will SURELY fail you.” Ladies, stop listening to these casanovas as they have seducing spirits and they quickly forget who they seduced from one night to the next!  Men, stop listening to these Jezebels because they only want a new pair of Michael Kors’ shoes and matching  handbags. If they sweet talk and hustle enough men, they will have a complete selection.  But, are they faithful?  Do they cook?  Do they keep a clean house?  Do they work?  As David said, “Wait on the LORD as your expectation is from HIM.” (Psalm 62:5) If you don’t get anything out of this Blog, put this one thought in your head, “No Matter What – TRUST IN THE LORD!”

Happy New Year!
