Truth: Where is my trust?

Well these past couple of days I feel like I have been learning a lot. Either through God's word or a through a sermon I feel like I have been growing in my faith. God puts us through times where we have to learn how to trust him and figure out what we really believe as a Christian. Yesterday I heard a quote that is so true. "What you believe determines how you behave." Where is my trust? In the world? Or in God? I have to decide daily if I will put my trust in God and rely on him to get me through the hard times. I can't rely on the things of this world or anyone else to get me through. Don't get me wrong... I think that it is great to have spiritual mentors in your life and I have some of my own but only God can change me and I have to believe in him and his word.

I like what it says in Isaiah 50:10-11. " Who among you fears the Lord and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the Lord and rely on your God. But watch out, you who live in your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires. This is the reward you will receive from me: You will soon fall down in great torment." Like I mentioned the other day... right now I have my own wants and I know what would make me happy but is it what God wants? Is it his will? It seems like today's society thinks that everything is okay or normal. I think that there are things in all of our lives that at times we know is a sin but we let it slide by thinking it is okay. If we continue down that path we are in for torment. If people want to know what truth is they can find it in the word. The truth is God.

I heard a song on the radio today by a band called Addison Road and the song is called "Hope Now". The chorus says: Everything rides on hope now, everything rides on faith somehow, when the world has broken me down , your love sets me free. If you have not heard this song I encourage to listen to it. The rest of the words are amazing. I will close with a quote by Chuck Swindoll. "Convictions are a matter of choice, not force." Sorry if I blabbered on in this post but all of this was on my mind and I wanted to say it. Have a good day.
