TEST OF YOUR TRUST

SUNDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 2022.

TOPIC: TEST OF YOUR TRUST

MEMORISE: “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25.

SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 44:6-8 

“For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.”

EXPOSITION:

Trust is having confidence in a thing believing that it is of quality that cannot fail us. When there is trust, there is flow of life and sense of security. Having trust in a friend enables friendship to go far. God seeks men to trust Him for our daily living in order to keep our relationship with Him alive. 

In 1 Kings 17:11-16, when there was serious famine in Israel, there was a widow in Zarephath who was about to eat her last meal and later die together with her son, because there is no more food to eat later. At this time when she has no hope of provision, God sent his prophet to put her trust in God to test on whether she will obey the word of God or not. Though she was left with her last meal and has right to complain and refused. Yet she obeyed the man of God and she was miraculously provided for throughout the famine season in Israel. That she obeyed was a proof of her trust in God. The psalmist says, “For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name forever.” Psalm 44:6-8.

 The Sons of Korah, in the Psalm 44 quoted above, vowed not to put their trust in  their bow, neither in their sword, but in the strength of God who saves from the enemies. They promised to boast only in God. Are you like them? In what do you put your trust? In the rich people, government, family members, friends, business associates, etc. David says, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.” Psalm 20:7,8.

PRAYER POINT: Lord, I put my trust in you, be my strength all the days of my life In Jesus' Name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Ezekiel 19-21.
