Day 75 - It’s Time…To Trust!
It breaks God’s heart when we’re unwilling to put our trust in Him. God wants to be believed. This is why the Scriptures remind us, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.†(Hebrews 11:6)
On many occasions, Jesus expressed His disappointment in the lack of faith among those around him. As the risen Jesus walked with the two travelers on their way to Emmaus, our Lord was saddened by their obvious lack of faith. Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.†(Luke 24:25)
Throughout these 77 Days of Prayer and Fasting, we’ve been listening to the voice of God. God has been clearly speaking to us both individually and as a spiritual family. God’s Word is boldly telling us to “keep the main thing, the main thing.†What’s this mysterious “main thing?†It’s no mystery at all. Quite simply, the main thing is the “end-time†harvest of souls. Jesus said, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10) At this unprecedented moment in world evangelization, our outreach and evangelism “…to touch every home in Chesterfield County and beyond, while reaching the world for Jesus Christ†(the IBC Vision) is not keeping pace with the population growth of our region and the unprecedented opportunities to reach people with the gospel of Christ.
Today, and everyday, are you willing to trust God for more precious souls coming into God’s Kingdom family?
It’s time to move forward. It’s time to truly trust God!
Today’s Scripture Promise: “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.†(Proverbs 3:5-6)
