WHOLEHEARTED TRUST (II)

30^TH DECEMBER, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 20-21

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:25-32
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 

26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 

27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 

29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 

30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 

32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

MEMORY VERSE: ” Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” – Psalm 37: 5

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

There is a reason you are going through what you are experiencing now. Trust the process; God will see you through. Nothing happens by accident. God is directing each one of your steps.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

YOUR FAITH SHALL NOT WITHER,IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

THE MESSAGE:

The issue of wholehearted trust in God can never be overemphasized, because God is ready to guide us in the right ways, give us His undeserved favour and keep His promises. In the most difficult times of our lives, we can commit our plans and situations to the Lord and trust Him to work things out for our best. Our own strength is limited, our wisdom is shallow, but He knows the best.

In our Fire Scripture, Jesus does not mean that it is wrong to plan and make provisions for future physical needs, but He is speaking against anxiety or worry that shows lack of faith in God’s care and love. The words in the Fire Scripture contain God’s promise to His children, including you the reader of this devotional. In this age of trouble and uncertainty, God has promised to provide our food, clothing and other necessities.

God, according to His word, will assume full responsibility for those who are submitted entirely to His authority and purposes. Beloved even in warfare, David’s wholehearted trust in the Lord of Hosts, the God of the army of Israel, gave him victory over Goliath when, by all indication, he was disadvantaged (1 Sam 17:37; 49-5). Have you not done things your own way? Have you not relied on your own wisdom?

Are you not in a position of those who think God is too slow or that God will come late? Put your whole trust in Him; see Him in action in your situation and that mountain will become plain. Beloved, you should pray to God to give you the grace to trust Him absolutely and wholeheartedly. This kind of trust births unquestioning, prompt and complete obedience to God’s commandments.

Wholehearted trust in God is also very rewarding. It is the secret of the exploits and success stories of Bible characters like Abraham, Enoch, David, Daniel, Ruth, Mary (the mother of Jesus), Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth and the apostles.I pray that any stronghold preventing you from trusting God wholeheartedly shall collapse today, in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINTS:
