THE BLESSINGS OF TRUST IN GOD

1 Chronicles 5: 20b
For they cried to GOD in the battle, and He was entreated by them, because they put their trust in Him.
Jeremiah 33: 3
Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

We close this week of Word from the Word with this word: the blessing of trust in the LORD is answered prayer.

We all want our prayers answered by GOD in a way that is good and full of grace, mercy and loving-kindness. Well, we can have that by putting out whole trust in the LORD; He will deliver, save, remove fear,give us safety, prosperity and peace. GOD is with us in battle; the victory is ours through Christ JESUS. 

THOSE WHO TRUST IN GOD ARE THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL; VICTORS AND NOT VICTIMS; ABOVE AND NOT BENEATH; SAITH THE LORD.

BLESSINGS OF TRUST IN GOD

Isaiah 26: 3,4
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD forever; for in the LORD GOD is everlasting strength.

A blessing of trust in GOD is perfect peace; peace in the midst of storms, struggles, chaos, trouble. Yes, GOD is in trouble; He is in the middle of all of our troubles, just like He was in the fire with Shradrach, Meshach, and Abednego and Daniel in the Lion's den.  The Holy presence of GOD brings peace which passes all understanding.

Notice the words, "whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee." This is the key to the way of the blessing of perfect peace; our mind must be stayed on JESUS and our trust must be in Him, the gift of peace follows. When you are afraid, trust JESUS and keep your mind on Him; do not look at the storm or you will sink into the darkness of despair. JESUS is the Light and in Him there is no darkness at all, keep your eye on JESUS and don't look away even for a moment. 

TRUST YE IN THE LORD FOREVER; FOR IN THE LORD GOD IS EVERLASTING STRENGTH.
