TRUSTING GOD FOR THE FUTURE

By




“Then Elisha said,  Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.”
(2 Kings 7:1)
Many were filled with panic and worry.Fear spread throughout Israel. The army of Aram was besieging the land. Food  was running out and there was a “great famine.”  Cornered by difficult conditions,  the king blamed Elisha.
But Elisha was not afraid. In fact, He was confident in God. So confident that he declared specifically what would happen in the future. What he prophesied didn’t seem likely. But he had heard from God, and knew that His Word was true, even giving advice to others based on this confidence.
This is the kind of confidence � all of us need to have in God. We can find ourselves worrying about the economy, relationships,  health,  or events in the world.  But the Bible teaches us that God already knows the future.  That, if we trust Him, we can have peace. That He is  ready to take away our burdens,  meet our needs, and direct our steps.
This kind of confidence is available to all who know God intimately  and trust Him. In the midst of any situation, He offers us His peace. His wisdom. And His Word tells us that He knows that future, and that we can trust Him.
What issues are you facing? Do you find your heart and mind filled with fear and worry? Or are you totally trusting in God?
Commit; your needs to Him, no matter how serious they might seem, or how helpless you might feel. Don’t be besieged with worry, doubt, or fear. Seek to know Him more intimately. Read His Word with more intensity. Seek to be more sensitive to His Spirit. And trust Him, for today, and the future.

ASH WEDNESDAY | what is ash wednesday in the bible

By
ASH WEDNESDAY  | what is ash wednesday in the bible Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Its official name is "Day of Ashes," so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one's forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday, it will always fall on a Wednesday- there cannot be an "Ash Thursday" or "Ash Monday." The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday-for that matter, it never mentions Lent. *Lent* is intended to be a time of *self-denial*, *moderation*, *fasting*, and the *forsaking of sinful activities* and habits. *Ash Wednesday* commences this period of spiritual discipline. *Ash Wednesday* and *Lent*are observed by most Catholics and some Protestant denominations. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not observe Ash Wednesday; instead, they start Lent on "Clean Monday." While the Bible does not mention Ash Wednesday, it does record accounts o...

A new Beginning

By
A NEW BEGINNING 1. Be with people (Mark 1:1-8) God’s ultimate plan to save the world was about to be fulfilled through his own son, Jesus Christ. John the Baptist was supposed to prepare the way. John the Baptist was there with the people. The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went to meet John the Baptist. They were open about their life, and even ready to be baptized by him. Though John was dressed in an unusual manner, the people came to him. John was with the people. People need help. They want to talk about their life, hurt, ill-feelings, struggles to forgive, and most of all forgiveness of sin from God. As a disciple, we should imitate John, i.e. being with people. A disciple’s lifestyle should be surrounded by people. 2. Be in step with the Spirit (Mark 1:9-13) After Jesus was baptized, he received the spirit, which descended on him like a dove. God was excited about his son, as we see he openly declared his love for him. The scripture say...
