Comment: How
does anyone know to trust God? I mean there are so many religions and isms
around us, and all of these claim peace, and some form of tranquil future for
those who follow their doctrines or beliefs. Trusting life and the all the ways
of life is scary, I mean who would desire to place their trust in comet that is
being chased by eternity? Well don’t laugh, people did and they died in their
sin of unbelief in God and their trust in a man, who today is like those who
followed him – dead and in the grave. All who trust in the works of man will
die because they lack personal faith in the ONE TRUE GOD.
Devotional: Notice if you will what the writer of Psalm
107 says about trust. Verse 1-2 – Oh give
thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His Mercy (Goodness) endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the
enemy. The world (all people) are bent on deception and death, whether we
understand this or not all of the peoples of the world who do not have faith in
the One True God are the enemy of God and of those who follow Him.
Those who place their
personal faith in Him are not just a local or isolated body of people who base
their beliefs on the views, or doctrines of men controlled by demons. There is
no secret society, no cult and no god (of which there are many) that can gather
eternity in its fist, and the redeemed too from the four corners of the world.
From the east, the west and from the north and south. God who with outstretched
arms offers goodness and peace to all who TRUST HIM.
Psalm 107 is 43 verses of
goodness and deliverance by the Hand of God for His people Israel at the time
of their journey through the wilderness. Like Israel in the sense that we
wander about in this world of darkness, with minds of unrest and fear. We fear
the tomorrows and we have no peace for the next moment to live, and all the
while; God says “Come unto Me and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28 NKJV
Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
The yoke
we carry in the world is heavy laden with sins of doubt, fear and unrest. Jesus
Christ/Messiah is the ONLY ONE who can replace His peace, goodness and mercy
with our fears, doubts and unrestful hearts. Notice what the apostle Paul says
in Galatians 2:20 – I have been
crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and
the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave Himself for me.
You might as well say it! “Well some
of the Israelites failed to place their faith in God!” Yes, indeed they did,
but notice Romans 3:3-4 – For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief
make the faithfulness of God without (of no) effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let
God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be
justified in Your words, and may overcome when You are judged."
