Who Told You That You Were Empty?Exemplo

THROUGH IT ALL, TRUST GOD!

Ephesians 6:16 identifies faith as a shield capable of extinguishing the flaming arrows of the evil one. Be aware, your confidence in God is a primary target of the evil one. Just as an unused or disabled shield provides ineffective protection, surrendered confidence renders you vulnerable to attack.

Knowing this, God implores us not to throw away our confidence. Confidence is a function of trust. Love is the perfect soil for growing trust. God is love and He is so worthy of our trust.

God and His Word are one. God, who cannot lie, watches over His word to make it come true. So take refuge in God’s commitment to you:

Jeremiah 31:3, NIV: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness”.

Joshua 1:5, NIV: “…As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Isaiah 46:4, NIV: “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

When difficult circumstances arise, know they are perfect platforms for demonstration of God’s grace and sovereignty:

Isaiah 43:2, NLT: “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”

Deuteronomy 7:9, NLT: “Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.”

Beloved child of God, I urge you to wholeheartedly trust God:

Hebrews 6:18, NLT: “So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.”

Isaiah 55:11, NIV: “…so is my word that goes out from my mouth; It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

Beloved child of God, you are united with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. So, Who Told You That You Were Empty?
