TRUSTING IN JESUS

For Encouragement: Ponder Matthew 1:18-25


*Our faith is strengthen only when we trust Him…
*In those things that are the most difficult we are to trust Him..
*In those moments that life is at its craziest times we are to trust Him.

*When it looks to be at its worst or when we don’t understand we are to trust Him!!!

Christmas inspires us not to be afraid because God is WITH US.

“they will call him Immanuel” (which means”God with us”).” ~ Matthew 1:23

 

Jesus was more than a HERO, He is GOD IN THE FLESH.
The word became flesh
and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the father, full of grace and truth. (ref: John 1:14)

 

Jesus is more than able to LEAD us through our challengesFor we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin. (ref: Hebrews 4:15)
Let’s not be afraid, but COURAGEOUSLY go where Jesus is leading.
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had communicated to him and took Mary home as his wife. (ref: Matthew 1:24)

Let us approach Gods throne of grace with confidence, so that way we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (ref: Hebrews 4:16)

Jer. 29: 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

God is here with you through all the trials that you are going through. No matter what the evil one throws at you, God will always help, guide, protect, redeem you.
Always remember that trials are coming and WILL come. God does not say that He will protect us from the trials: He will guide us through them.

We will always go through trials, but God is more powerful then anything the evil one can throw at you. (read 1 John 4:4)

 

We can celebrate because of His presence with us at all times!!
 Thank You Jesus for being there for us 24/7!   Amen
