Sacred Truth Friday: Trust God

Sacred Truth Friday

Another good lesson from Stephen.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. - John 14:1-3 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John14:1-3&version=NKJV

Don't let our hearts be troubled. Trust Jesus who has prepared a place for us.

casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:7 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Peter5:7&version=NKJV

Cast all our burdens upon God.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians4:6-7&version=NKJV

Don't worry. Hand it all over to God.

to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, - 1 Peter 1:4 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Peter1:4&version=NKJV

During hard times, focus on heaven.

Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls—Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. - Habakkuk 3:17-18 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk3:17-18&version=NKJV

In hard times, rejoice in God.

Let's trust God all the way, through the good times and the bad.

If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. - Matthew 27:39-40,46,50 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew27:39-40,46,50&version=NKJV

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 10: Confess Him

Image
Romans Chapter 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. The Women Worship the Risen Lord And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus
