Can you be trusted?

 Happy Sunday!

"You bless those who obey you, Lord;  your love protects them like a shield."(Psalm 5:12 Good News Translation).God's Word is always true.  God's Word has stood the test of time.  God's Word never fails.  When God promises to protect you he can be trusted to do so, no matter what may come.  We can trust Him, but can he trust us?When we sincerely trust God we will obey his commands.  The Apostle John wrote, "The TEST of the genuineness of our love for God’s family lies in this question—do we love God himself and do we OBEY his commands? For loving God means obeying his commands, and these commands of his are not burdensome, for God’s “heredity” within us will always conquer the world outside us. In fact, this faith of ours is the only way in which the world has been conquered. For who could ever be said to conquer the world, in the true sense, except the man who really believes that Jesus is God’s Son?"(1 John 5:2-5 Phillips).Proverbs 3:4-10 says, "If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself.  In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.  Don’t be conceited, sure of your own wisdom. Instead, trust and reverence the Lord, and turn your back on evil; when you do that, then you will be given renewed health and vitality.  Honor the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income, and he will fill your barns with wheat and barley and overflow your wine vats with the finest wines."(Living Bible).  Every base has been covered in these verses.  Trusting and obeying God causes blessings spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially!  Now that's Good News!Love and prayers, Cynthia
