Godly Trust,

Godly Trust is trust beyond our simple thought patterns. We must trust God more than we trust humanity.

 Psalms 115:11 says “Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield”, verse 13 “He will bless them that fear the Lord both small and great”. In Revelations 14:6,7, we read “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
 If we are to live healthy, Godly lives, we must put our faith and belief, trust and obedience in the Word of God. The Bible says that a man who trusts man, will come to ruin.

Psalms 115:14, says “The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children”. Verse 15-17 says “Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence”.

We put a lot of faith and trust in man each day, but do we trust God? Think about the way we each hurl our bodies down a stretch of roadway at 60 miles per hour, passing cement post and other objects that could kill us instantly, if we struck them. We are riding in man made machinery, that could fail at any time. We trust in many machines that are made by other mistake prone human beings, like the elevators, roller coasters, airplanes, ships and even household products on a daily basis, we also trust zip lines and bungy cords. We must put our trust, faith and belief, in the God of Heaven and earth.

  Genesis 2:17 says “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” The earth was cursed by God when man disobeyed and sinned and man began to die along with everything that is on the earth. Isaiah 26:4 says “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JE-HOVAH is everlasting strength”. In Matthew 25:41 the Bible says “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”. If we trust God, we can be on His right hand side, and live healthy lives here on this earth and be preparing for the lives we will be privileged to live Eternally.

  Proverbs 28:25-27 says “He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
  We have to believe Gods word and live by Gods instruction. May God richly bless as we learn to trust Him more fully. God has our best interest at heart and He loves us and desires that none of the human family receive the fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
