Challenges of a Post Christian Culture 08 The Heart of Faith
“Trust is that rare and priceless treasure that wins us the affection of our Heavenly Father. . . Among his countless children, whom he so greatly loves and whom he heaps with tenderness and favors, there are few indeed, who truly entrusting themselves to him, live as [children of God.]“
I find these words (of Paul de Jaegher) so true. It is easy to coast through life and never embrace a life of trust in God. What would it be like for me to actually trust God?
We can’t live very successfully if we’re trying to make everyone happy by living up to their rules or standards. The only thing that matters is seeking what God would really want. I suppose this is what made David the man after God’s own heart and the great example for kings like Hezekiah and Josiah. We talked about them in class yesterday and how they lived out from a heart of faith.
So may God confirm your trust in Him this week. Live with a deep sense of calling and as a servant those around you. Seek to be a leader in your family, your marriage, and at work. Trust God fully.
