A Sure Thing….

The one thing about being a believer (in God) that non-believers don’t see is GOD IS TRUSTWORTHY. His word can be trusted. He is the only One worthy of our loyalty. What He says comes true, for He is Truth. People put their trust in other people only to be let down. This causes man to not trust anyone. It’s how we view God. When a father lets down a child by breaking a promise, that child loses trust in his father. And when we are let down by people, we tend to blame God for these shortcomings. We can’t associate people’s behaviors with God’s character. Don’t ever let yourself go there. He is 100% trustworthy. Every single promise God has ever made has come true or is in the process of coming true. People go to casinos wanting to strike it rich, they want a “sure thing”. Gamblers bet on games that are a “sure thing”. People spend part of every one of their paychecks on lottery tickets in hope of “striking it rich”. Yet we fail to believe God, as if He is a lottery ticket unworthy of our purchase. God can be trusted. His promises are a “sure thing”. It’s not until we see God as the “first cause” of everything, then start trusting Him as a “Sure Thing”, that we will truly start to live. He is the Compass of life. He sets our direction, our life journey, and the Magnet that pulls us back on track when stray from His path for us. It’s what gives us consistency, reliability, security, and confidence; all in trusting Him with our lives. He is worthy of our devotion, and worthy of our trust. Why not start seeing the value in that? It will change your entire outlook on life.

 137 O Lord, You are righteous, and Your regulations are fair.138 Your laws are perfect and completely trustworthy.139 I am overwhelmed with indignation, for my enemies have disregarded Your words.140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so much.141 I am insignificant and despised, but I don’t forget Your commandments.142 Your justice is eternal, and Your instructions are perfectly true.143 As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in Your commands.144 Your laws are always right; help me to understand them so I may live. Psalms 119:137-144
