Trust

With the young children on Sunday we were talking about Abraham and the young Isaac and the trust they had to have in God . Abraham told Isaac that God would provide a sacrifice and his trust was rewarded. God did provide..

We did some trusting activities with the children and then we settled down to handicrafts. One of the tasks was to paint a small stone with the word TRUST. I took part in this and painted my stone accordingly. This is now placed outside my front door of my new home. My plan is that when anyone asks me about it I will ask them ‘What do you put your trust in? Because it has been raining solidly since Sunday no-one has yet come to my front door. I want to be able to tell people I put my trust in God but like the saints in the Bible I’m going to have to be patient. This witness business is not easy.

The Lord our Peace

‘You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You,’ the Bible tells us. We Christians attest that God has been faithful in the past and our prayers have been answered according to God’s wishes.

But what of the future, can we trust Him for that? If we can recall a time when God has failed us in the past, then we cannot trust Him for the future. But God has never failed us. It’s just that devil again trying to have a go at us. As an old hymn says, ‘I’ll thank Him for all that is past and trust Him for all that’s to come.’
