WHEN YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND TRUST

AUGUST 21st - CAPSULE 21

TOPIC: WHEN YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND TRUST

BIBLE TEXT: Deuteronomy 29 vs. 29 – The secret things belong unto the Lord our God.

Listen to this letter I read from a missionary couple who lost their child: “Our younger son, aged 14, came down with a very severe strain of meningitis. My wife prayed for his healing, but we lost him. Our hearts are broken. We cannot understand why God would send or allow us such a sorrow and burden to carry. Can you help us?”

One thing is sure, God is too good to do wrong, and too wise to make mistake. When we have to know all details we are walking by sight, but when we can trust Him in the dark we are walking by faith.

“Without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11 vs. 6). Note that it doesn’t say, “Without understanding”. When we walk by faith we don’t necessarily gain understanding, but rather acceptance.

Confidence in God is His highest purpose for our lives. When we can trust and accept without questions, we move into a dimension of greater peace and intimacy with Him. Someone is probably watching you as you walk through this storm to see how your faith works, and if your relationship with God will sustain you. It will!

Prayer: Father, help me to put my trust and my faith in your word no matter the matter in Jesus name.

Insight: Those days of questioning and grieving will be over, will pass; eventually you will say like Job, “When I am tried, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23 vs. 10).

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
