TRUSTING AND FAITH=IN GOD

 

TRUSTING AND FAITH=IN GOD

 

We are FLAWED INDIVIDUALS=physically

Mentally and spiritually=and often we

Don’t want anyone else=to know

 

We TRY=and hide our flaws=to

NOT let others know=but God

ALWAYS KNOWS US

 

We can=ONLY get by=by

TRUSTING IN=and HAVING FAITH

In our God and Jesus=that

THEY will pull us through

 

“STRETCH OUT=Your hand”                                                                                           Luke 6:10

 

Today=Jesus calls out=A MAN

With a withered hand=What FOLLOWS

Is a=COURAGEOUS ACT OF TRUST

 

The man=steps forward=to be HEALED

And he is=what do we do

WHEN Jesus=calls us to step forward

FLAWS AND ALL

 

Do we have faith=by

TRUSTING IN JESUS?=do we have

Confidence in Jesus=have TRUST?

 

“Some TRUST in chariots=and

Some in horses=but we

TRUST IN=the name of

The Lord our God”                                                                                                                 Psalm 20:7

 

“……..then I can answer

Anyone who taunts me=for

I TRUST=in your word”                                                                                                      Psalm 119:42

 

“TRUST in the Lord=with

All your heart=and lean not

On your own understanding”                                                                                               Proverbs 3:5

 

WHEN Jesus heals someone=

He OFTEN asks a person=to

FULFILL a simple request

 

Today=Jesus asks the man=to SHOW

His woundedness=his weakness=his

VULNERABILITY to the world=NOT

An easy thing to do

 

But this is=CHRIST’S CALL

To us=to SHOW OUR FAITH

To the world

 

And reach out=with COURAGE=and

BE BRAVE=and be HEALED

By TRUSTING in our Lord

 

“Now then=be strong=AND BRAVE=

For Saul your master=is dead

 

And the people of Judah=have

Anointed me king over them”                                                                                          2 Samuel=2:7

 

YES=we are to STEP FORWARD

To God and Jesus=in our imperfections

To be HEALED by them

TRUSTING WITH FAITH

That we can be HEALED

 

“But he was pierced=for

Our transgressions=he was crushed

For our iniquities

 

The punishment that brought us=

Peace was on him=and by his wounds

We are HEALED”                                                                                                          Isaiah 53:5

 

It is CHALLENGING and frightening

To reach out=to the Lord

 

To SHOW our imperfections and flaws

To all=and be HEALED=but

We must be BRAVE=by TRUSTING

And having FAITH in the Lord!

In Jesus’ name
