Under The Fathers Wings

Trust

Have you pondered in your mind, as I

have where our trust has gone? We

have become a nation of cynicism and

mistrust. There was a time in our nation,

and our lives, that trust was not a question.

There was a time when a handshake to

seal a Contract or a Bargain, was enough,

there was no need of attorneys to draw

up contracts and ect.. It seem that there

is no trust anywhere anymore, husbands

and wives have lost trust for one another,

our children has lost trust in there elders

and vise versa. We don't trust our police,

our government, our neighbors, and sad to

say, trust has even been lost, in some

degree in the ministers of the gospel.

Trust is like a butterfly, trust grows in

stages and if trust is damaged or destroyed

before it emerges in full, it will wither

and die just as the larva of a butterfly

if it is damaged before it's time. I

will summit to you that when God

was taken out of our government , our

schools, and the gospel became watered

down in our churches, we began to lose

our ability to trust. The Bible teaches

that we can trust only, by believing in

God, and believing that His word is true.

True. Trust begins and ends with God.

Unless our faith is placed in God, we

will be lacking in trust. If we don't or

can't trust in God, how can we trust

in one another? We as a nation, have

to get back to old fashion morals. We

have to believe His word is true. By

obeying His will and depend on Christ

and Christ alone. Lets us look at

God's word and what he has to say

regarding trust.

We have to recognizes that God is trustworthy

And is to be trusted above all else. We

have to know beyond any doubt that

God loves us as we are, and will never let

us down, that he can be trusted, and relied

We see in Noah the ultimate in trust.

He loved and trusted God, long before

He was put to the test. We see here

that God's heart was broken because

of the evil that had come upon the

earth, but he knew there was one man

that he could trust "Noah". He told

Noah that he was going to destroy

the earth with a flood, and he told

Noah to build a boat. Okay! For

One thing it had never rained in

those day's, so Noah had no idea

what God was talking about, but

because Noah trusted God he did

what he was told. It took Noah

one hundred and twenty years to

build the ark, and all the time the

people mocked and tormented him,

he and his family, and that my friend

is faith and trust. Yet Noah never

doubted and did everything exactly

that God commanded. We also see

here that his wife and children

trusted Noah completely, and was

obedient, never doubting that he was

guided by God. This could only happen

because he had set the example of

trusting and being trustworthy

himself.

Having trust in the Lord is not a

one time thing, we have to learn to

trust Him in every situation. This kind

of trust does not come overnight nor is

this going to always be easy. This kind

of trust is choosing to trust God even

when it seem impossible. This is when

we can feel secure and know that we

are on a firm foundation. Then

and only then can we truly trust

God's word and have true peace in

our hearts and lives. All the above is

why we have to trust, for our own sakes

put our trust without wavering

in the Lord our God.

We see here that as a nation or a

People, when they begin to trust in their selves

and place their trust in anything or in anyone,

other than God they had prostituted their

selves. This is where we find ourselves

in today's society.

Isn't it sad because of our own

actions, we find ourselves unable

to trust. When we decided that

we didn't need God, and that God

and morals are just for the weak.

When we took prayer out of our

schools and begin to teach our children

that there is no right or wrong, that

everything is to be judged by situation

etches, that is when we as a nation

begin to loose our reverence and

trust for God, and therefore we lost

our trust for one another how do

we expect our children trust, when

they see we show no respect

for God or others. But Praise God

we have hope, and our hope is in

The Lord Jesus Christ.

God's word tell us that when we place

our trust in Him no matter what comes

our way he will bring us though. If we

can't trust in God, how can we as

a people on a whole be trusted

or trust? We tell our children to

trust us yet we for what ever reason

prove ourselves to be untrustworthy.

If we want our children's trust we

have to set the example, we have

to teach them, that we have placed our

trust in God and his word, and prove

it to them in our everyday life, then

when they are tested they to will know

how to stand and trust in God. God

said we were to be the example and

love and teach our children the way

they should go, Teach them that God

bring peace, joy, and that he always

Father forgive us Lord that we have

lost our ability to trust. Help us

to become a people and a nation

that will begin to look to you and

trust in you to put you back in our

lives. Help us to be able to repent

and humble ourselves before you.

Help us to see Lord that we have

crippled our children in their ability

to trust in you. We have taught them

to trust in things rather than in you and

your word Lord. Oh! Father you

are the "Rock of our Salvation, You

are the Lord of Lord, the King of

King the Alpha and Omega. Your word

Is established Forever." Let our

trust and faith arise within us Lord.

In Jesus name Amen.
