TRUST IN GOD

Our Father urges us to trust in him in every aspect of our lives and not to trust in our own comprehension of a situation. He also does not want us to put our trust in any person other than Our Father.

He has given us the promise that if we trust him, he will guide us in the correct path.

Scripture:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5)

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:5)

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. (2nd Samuel 22:31)

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. (Psalms 112:7)

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Nahum (1:7)

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Psalms (37:3)

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. (Psalms 118:8)

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
We are not to depend on our own understanding of a situation or in other people, but are to trust Our Father and he will lead us in the correct direction.

Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this
study of His word, Amen.

WHAT DOES GOD DESIRE OF MAN

WHAT DOES GOD DESIRE OF MAN

Our Father informs us that he has shown through his word what he desires from us and also that He will teach us. He requests, through his prophet Moses, for us to hear, keep and do his statues. He assures us that He will be with us if we pursue what is good. Our Father desires most of all for us to believe in His son, Jesus Christ.

Speaking as a nation in the end times God says in Deuteronomy 32:28-29 “For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!”

Scripture:
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. (Micah 6:8)

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Psalms 32:8)

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. (Psalms 34:14)

Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. (Amos 5:14)

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
God has revealed to us in his word what he requires of us and that is to hear and do what is in that word and to believe on His son, Jesus Christ.

WORD OF TRUTH



Jesus, James and Paul used the terminology “word and truth” in the same sentence. Jesus said we are sanctified through truth. Sanctified in the Greek can mean dedicate-consecrate-cleanse-purify-hallow-be holy-free from sin or it could be described as a renewing of the soul.



In the book of Timothy we are told to study so we won’t be ashamed, as we will be able to correctly decipher the truth.



James informs us that we are begotten through the word of truth.



Paul tells us that when we trust, by hearing the word of truth, and believe, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.



Scripture:



They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth; Thy word is truth. (John 17:16-17)



Study to shew thyself approved unto God, A workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2nd Timothy 2:15)



Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. (James 1:18)



In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. (Ephesians 1:13)



WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

Truth is found in the Word of God, the Bible. The truth from His word renews our soul.
