Good Day Greetings Brethren 😇
With some circumstances our Livestream of Bible Doctrine Class was not push through today.
But here is our Bible Lesson:

• TRUST •
Trust should be applied with full understanding thus the effectual results will cover more than you thought.

A three-year-old boy stands hesitantly on the edge of the pool.
His father, waist deep in the water, stretches out his hands and says,
“Jump! I’ll catch you!”
The child might believe his father can catch him, but without trust he will never jump. Trust is the critical element of faith.

The Bible teaches that we trust God by believing his Word is true, by obeying his will, and by depending on Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
We can trust God completely because he is completely trustworthy.

What does it mean to trust God?
•Revelation 4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

•Psalm 33:21
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
In him our hearts rejoice, for we are trusting in his holy name.

Trusting God means recognizing that God is worthy of your trust and then giving him control of your life.

Trusting God is an ongoing process based on a personal relationship with him.

Trusting God means obeying his commands even when you don’t fully understand why.

Trusting God means depending on Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

For no one will ever be saved by obeying the law.

Trusting Jesus for salvation means ceasing to trust in your own efforts to be righteous.

Trusting God is acknowledging that he knows what is best and surrendering to his plan.

Trusting God requires faith.

Trusting God means you believe he has everything under control.

Trusting God is believing and thus acting as though God is our protection, our ultimate defender and fair judge.

We can trust God enough to obey because his Word is true and will bring true joy and happiness.

Trusting God is exclusive and supreme to trusting in anyone or anything else; for example one cannot trust in God and in idols.

Trusting God means being confident in him even though you can’t see him.

1 Peter 1:8
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory…

When “Everything Goes Wrong”

[in view of not able to have Live Stream for our Bible Doctrine Class, I am presenting this
Devotional Thoughts]

What do you do when everything is going wrong?

All of us will face things “going wrong” on a large scale at some point in our lives-that is just part of living in a sin cursed world that has rebelled against God.
Big trials test our faith; no doubt about it. Yet I have found that it is the relatively little frustrating things that “go wrong” that test my daily faith in Christ.
What happens when you end up having to waste time during a busy week, feel like you are going in circles, and are convinced that everything is going wrong in a particular day or week?
We are often tempted to respond in ways of the flesh, but the Lord would have us respond as we walk in the Spirit. How can we fight against going the way of the flesh when things are not going our way?

Here are three contrasting ways to respond to moments, days, or weeks like this:

1. Stop believing you are in control-you are not in control God is. It is when we think we are in control that “out of control” days are so frustrating. Rather, meditate on verses that teach the reality that God is in control (Romans 8:28; Proverbs 16:1, 9).

2. As you work through the frustration of the moment, day, or week that has “gone wrong” make sure you don’t take it out on those around you. If we are not dealing with the frustration God’s way we will eventually lash out at those around us; often those we love most. Rather, remember that the way of the kingdom is to treat others the same way you want them to treat you (Luke 6:31) and that we are to imitate Christ by not doing anything from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind we are to regard others as more important than ourselves-even when everything is going wrong around us and others do not recognize the frustration we are going through (Philippians 2:3-5).

3. Stop listening to your own heart and talk to God about the problems. It is at these moments of frustration that our hearts and our minds start racing with anxiety over lost time, anger with being treated wrongly, and hopelessness about our circumstances. It is not a question of if our minds will start with these thinking patterns, there is little doubt that they will and these thoughts must be put off and other thoughts must be put on by God’s grace. This means that we need to start talking to ourselves with God’s truth and talking to God about His truth. We need to pray (1 Thes. 5:17). God’s inspired instructions for moments like this is that we would cast all our cares on Him and not to be anxious about anything. Specifically praying about all the things that have “gone wrong” will result in God’s peace guarding our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus (1Peter 5:7; Philippians 4:6-7).

More could be said, but it is also absolutely essential that you carry out a fight against the flesh in these moments on the basis of the gospel. If you are a child of God, then you are in Christ and there is every possibility that you can respond the right way in these moments. Just remember as well that when you fail in the fight, the blood of Christ cleanses you from all sin, your standing in grace is not in jeopardy (Romans 5:2). Your hope is not in your performance, but in His finished cross work and resurrection in your place. May the Lord help us to respond to those “everything has gone wrong” moments by fighting against the flesh by the power of the Spirit; because we can in Christ (Romans 6).

This is our Saturday Bible Lesson today …
Knowing God as Father

All who are in Christ are God’s children. Yet many people find it difficult to think of God as their Father. This can be especially true for those whose earthly fathers have left them with unhappy recollections of sinful behavior and its consequences.

But God’s fatherhood has not been touched by sin. When we struggle to understand God as Father, it is likely because we are projecting onto God a notion of fatherhood that is not true of God. As one Christian writer said, “All we know of genuine human fatherhood at its best is but a pale reflection of what the Father is, first, to his Son, and then to all who become his spiritual children.”

The name of “Father” is not one we have chosen for God. It is what He has chosen to call Himself. Our great need, then, is to understand what God’s fatherhood actually is—
and we may begin to do so by looking at His relationship with the incarnate Son, Jesus Christ. As we consider the richness of Jesus’ relationship with the Father, we can understand what it means for us to be adopted into God’s family.

•Intimacy
To begin with, Christ’s relationship with His Father was marked by an unmistakable intimacy. For Jesus, God was not distant. He could converse with His Father openly and freely. We see this intimacy most clearly in the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus, recoiling from the prospect of death, cried out to God with a term of the nearest familial endearment: “Abba, Father” (Mark 14:36).

Extraordinarily, the same interaction of the eternal Son with the Father is the intimacy that we now in some measure enjoy. Paul writes, “Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’” (Gal. 4:6). Like Jesus, we can cry out to our Father in times of desperation and need, certain that He will hear us.

Jesus said, “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (John 14:23). As children can make themselves comfortable in the home of a warm and affectionate dad, putting up their feet and sharing their lives without fear, so in Christ we may know what it’s like to be at home with God. Indeed, this kind of intimacy is only a glimpse of what we may enjoy with God by sharing in the life of His Son.
