Trust in the Lord


Trust in the Lord

Morning verse
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, submit to him and he will make your paths straight" (N.I.V).

 Morning Meditation We have always heard about trusting in God and applying our faith. However, how many times do we blindly trust in his unwavering provision? One of the most outstanding examples of trusting in God, as shown in the Bible, is through Abraham and the demand that God sacrifice his son. Abraham did not doubt God's will; sure enough, he followed God's instruction and placed his only son, the promise in his old age, on the sacrificial altar. His famous response was, "God will provide." We know that the story ended with a confirmation of that provision.

 Lesson
Often, we are led by God to sacrifice things that are near and dear to us. We may even believe that parting with material or immaterial things is illogical. However, God calls us to trust that He knows what is best for us, and once we submit to His leading, it is in His nature to be our good Shepherd and direct our paths. Therefore, as we pray and plan for camp, let us open our hearts to His leading. Let us not hesitate to shed any plans that we may have that are not in tune with God. Similarly, let us be sensitive enough to allow God to creatively impart insight, knowledge, and understanding.

 Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank you for being our Shepherd. As willing sheep, we humbly submit to your will, purpose, and life plans. Let us not live in mediocrity but triumph in whatever mandate you have led us to. As we take on the day's activities, let us keep in tune with your gentle still voice and the prodding advice that you ever so oft give. In your name, we pray. Amen

The Power of His Resurrection†

The Power of His Resurrection† By Monique Garnett Philippians 3:10: I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. (Read full recommended verses here ) Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen ( Hebrews 11:1 ). From this passage, we understand that faith requires trust in the almighty God, who is the object of it all, as seen in scripture. Faith in God requires sharing in all aspects of His life. We also understand that this includes the power of His resurrection, sharing in His suffering, and imitating Christ in His death. The power of His resurrection is the spirit that took His dead body and brought it back to life. This is the same power that we should desire to have within us—the same power that raised Him from the dead will come into our souls and raise us up. When we allow this power to take control of our lives, self-destructive things such as unforgivene...
