Trust in the Lord CLICK TITLE FOR AUDIO
We are to trust in the Lord. When you trust in the Lord you have:
Perfect Peace – when you trust in the Lord you will have:
- The Peace that comes from the Savior – because you will be reconciled to God [Rom 5:1]
- The Peace that comes from the Spirit – because you will have his fruit [Gal 5:22-23]
- The Peace that comes from God – because he will give you his peace when you pray [Phil 4:6-7
Mental Soundness – today the minds of people in the world are:
- Blinded minds – 2 Cor 4:4
- Reprobate minds – Rom 1:28
- Possessed minds – Lk 8:26-35
- Unstable minds – Jas 1:8
But when you trust the Lord, God gives you a sound mind [2 Tim 1:7] and the mind of Christ [1 Cor 2:16]. Trusting in the Lord can straighten out a lot of mental disorders.
Everlasting Strength – we are extremely weak compared to the Lord – when we trust in the Lord he gives us:
- The Strength of the Lord – Eph 6:10; Ps 71:16
- The Strength of Wisdom – Prov 24:5
- The Strength of Grace – 2 Cor 12:7-10
Conclusion: To have these things, you must trust in the Lord – if you are saved today and you are struggling in one of these areas, you need to trust God – if you are lost, you need to receive Jesus Christ so that he can save you from an eternity in hell and impart these things to you now.
