 Implicit Trust

"I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me." says the Lord.

                                                                                ~ Jeremiah 39:18

Trust and faith are powerful things

when used in the proper way.

Believing in God for your every

need is such a wonderful thing. Not

only are you being blessed by God,

but He is being blessed by you, just

because you believe in Him and are

putting all your trust in Him for your

every need. 

  "Behold the protecting power of trust in God. The great men of Jerusalem fell by the sword, but the poor Ebed-melech was secure, for his confidence was in Jehovah. Where else should a man trust but in his Maker? No one ever did trust in the Lord in vain, and no one ever shall.

Dying to self and

putting your life

 in God's hands is

truely a blessing.

  "I will surely deliver you." Mark the divine surely. Under His sacred wing there is safety, even when every danger is abroad. Can we accept this promise as sure? Then in our present emergency we shall find that it stands fast. We hope to be delivered because we have friends, or because we are prudent, or because we can see hopeful signs; but none of these things are one-half so good as God's simple "because you have put your trust in Me." Try this way and you will keep to it all your life. It is as sweet as it is sure."
