"Greeting in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 17 September 2011"
Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 20:7 "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God."
God wants you to trust Him in all your thoughts. You as His child can direct your conscious thoughts more than you realize. Practice thinking in certain ways, trusting Him and thanking Him and then those thoughts will become more natural. Reject any negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of them. Don't try to hide from God; confess your sins and leave them with Him and then go on your way lightheartedly. This method of controlling your thoughts will keep you mind in God's presence and your feet on the path of peace.
Chariots in verse 7 were the leading weapon on the ancient battlefield just as tanks are today. The implements of warfare are mere tools in God's hands, the wise will trust in God because the battle belongs to Him.
The issue raised in verse 7 is reliance. Belief can be intellectual. Trust is a far more personal and challenging concept. Trust in God is resting the full weight of our confidence in Him, counting on Him alone to deliver us.
This psalm suggest seven things in which King David and the Old Testament congregation trusted God. God can be trusted: (1) to hear us in time of trouble (2) to protect us (3) to send help (4) to support (strengthen) us (5) to give us our hearts desire (6) to make our plans succeed and (7) to answer us with saving power. When God can surely do all this for us, we would be foolish not to trust Him.
Today's Hymn: "Tell It To Jesus"
Are you weary, are you heavy hearted? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus
Are you grieving over joys departed? Tell it to Jesus alone
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus, He is a friend that's well known
You've no other such a friend or brother, Tell it to Jesus alone.
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how wonderful it is to place ALL our FAITH and TRUST in You. How wonderful it is that we can depend on You for Your STRENGTH and POWER to make it through the storms and trials of our life. May our hearts and thoughts always be upon You and may we, when we are tempted, remember what Jesus said when he was tempted in the wilderness, "IT IS WRITTEN" and hid HIS words in our hearts that we might not sin against Thee.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Above King David was God the Great King; moreover, one day King Jesus will rule from sea to sea."

"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21
