Serving and trusting God go together and they are
inseparable in the life of a true believer. People who
do not trust God do not serve Him either. The
intensity of our trust in the Lord deepens our service
to Him. Our love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
enhances our Christian service and fellowship with
God. The less a man loves the Lord, the less he serves
Him also. The more a man loves the Lord, the more he
serves Him faithfully. Deep love for the Lord produces
sweet and intimate fellowship with the Savior.
The strength of our trust in the Lord is revealed
when we are tested physically, emotionally and
spiritually, thereby revealing also our inner
strength. Insecurities are obvious revelation of one’s
little faith in the Lord. As we have a deeper study on
Matthew Chapter 6, we will realize that the worsening
insecurities of men are unpleasant fruits of their
unbelief. Man’s unbelieving attitude towards God’s
Word is well-dramatized through his doubtful giving,
hypocritical praying, unforgiving spirit, questionable
motives, worldly focus of mind, evil eyes and half-
heartedness in serving the True and Living God.
Reading and understanding what our Lord has spoken
long time ago guide a man to find his way out from the
bondage of severe insecurities of life. Depression is
a killer disease that leads a person to lose his will
to live. Depression is an upgraded and mishandled
insecurity. Depression is a great tool of the devil in
leading people to early death. God wants His children
to be blessed, but it seems that most people, through
their unbelief, choose curse rather than blessings. A
well-studied and a well-practiced Word of God
strengthen our trust in the Lord. It will also broaden
our knowledge and understanding on God’s wonderful
ways of showing us His amazing love and grace. Matthew
Chapter 6 is a life-changing message from God and if
obeyed carefully, it will transform us in a great way,
and assuredly, the way we serve our Lord Jesus will
never be the same again.
(I) Serve God And Him Alone
Matthew 6:24
-Don’t serve money v24
-Let God be the first of your life v33
Warning: Proverbs 23:4-5
(II) Trust God Completely
Matthew 6:25-34
-Don’t be a victim of worry v25
-Be analytical v26
-Be practical vs27-30
-Don’t be critical vs31, 32
-Be faithful vs33, 34
The lesson we get from this part of Scriptures
cannot be measured by man’s scale, neither can be
attained from secular schools of great men of the
world. The riches of God’s Word are beyond comparison.
It frees a man from the bondage of anxieties and
gradually leads him to trust the Lord completely. It
also helps us to be more analytical and practical when
it comes to simple matters of life. Critical spirit is
also subdued through better view point and
understanding of God’s way. Best results and blessings
are well-expected the moment we apply this God-given
lesson carefully and heartily for the glory of God.
