Summary: "Trust in the Lord, lean on him don't be afraid, our God is near" an old song reminds us to continue our trust in the Lord. Because the one who began his good works (Eph 2:10) in us surely would finish at the right time.
Dear beloved, Knowing God is necessary for a Christian living! more than that Knowing God's greatness is mandatory! according to Psalm 145:3. For the psalmist says, greatly praise the greatness of God, which is never ending. In this year 2022, if you are still reading my series, I'm sure you are looking for a fresh new life. Don't be disheartened, for God has already begun his good work, only you are kept away from knowing his great work (Ps. 145:3)
Trust Him and His Good Works: For sure he will bring a new thing, which is already at hand (Isaiah 43:18-19). The only thing you need to remember is the good things the Lord has done in your life. Life is not about us, it is about the Lord, we are his creation, created for his great purpose. The understanding of that many of us can't fathom, as we are surrounded by what we see. That's why Paul instructs us to walk by faith and not by sight. You may not see what God is doing, but Trust he is for you, and he will bring all the good and the bad for the better for each of his children. Why trust? the ones who trust do good to themselves and began to look towards God, for a radiant face (Ps 34:4) A bright face is the index of mind, such people not only brighten themselves but others too.
Secondly, Be Confident that He will Complete: Anyone chosen by God, was asked to be confident, especially in times of trouble. Abraham was confident of his promised child, joseph was confident of his dream, Gideon was confident of winning Amalekites, David was confident of winning Goliath, and so on. Scripture Johsua 1:9 reminds us to be confident, to Joshua who was terrified of leading 20lac Jews across Jordon. All these witnesses of God's power were afraid of their challenge, still, they put the confidence in the Lord who has called them.
Today is the day, He faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:24 ) and he will lead you. For he is our God, a great and mighty God.
