Day 18: Trust Believes

GOD never stops SHOWING up,

because HE is everywhere.

We may MISS HIM, because we are not looking,

We may MISS HIM, because we are WAITING for the answer to a PRAYER,

instead of HIM. 

We many MISS HIM, because we make it about ourselves and not HIM.

Maybe not you, but I know I do.

I didn't think I did,

but GOD made HIS PRESENCE known to me,

making me feel like a little ant in this big world.

And I like being an ant.

I am an ant searching for food.

And when I find it, I am gathered with more ants

who also want the same food.

REAL FOOD.

"Taste and see that the LORD is GOD"

Oh GOD IS GOOD,

ALL the time,

even when ALL things are not so GOOD.

Where is GOD?

HE is  IN TRUST. 

"TRUST IN THE LORD with all your heart,

and lean not on your own understanding,

In all your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will direct your steps"

(Proverbs 3:5-6).

TRUST TRUSTS when in DOUBT. 

TRUST TRUSTS when in FEAR. 

TRUST TRUSTS when in BITTERNESS.

TRUST TRUSTS when in SORROW. 

TRUST brings GOD to the front.

And where there is TRUST,

JESUS is right there with HIM.

JESUS came to earth dressed as a BABY. 

A little BABY.

i wonder if JESUS felt like an ant,

as HE just came from HIS heavenly home.

HE became like one of us, to save all of us.

To TRUST IN GOD is to TRUST in HIS SON.

And whomever you TRUST IN, you BELIEVE IN~

"Believe [confidently] in GOD and TRUSTn HIM,

 [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and]

BELIEVE also in ME"

(John 14: 1).

JESUS came to earth,

dressed as a BABY. 

UNBELIEVABLE you say,

 yet so BELIEVABLE,

because THE BABY grew up.

"After JESUS was baptized,

 HE came up immediately out of the water; and behold,

 the heavens were opened, and he (John) saw the

SPRIIT OF GOD descending as a dove and lighting on HIM (JESUS),

 and behold,

a voice from heaven said,

'This is MY beloved SON, in whom I am well-pleased and delighted!'”

(Matthew 3:16-17),

The big world just go really big,

 because

THE BABY just got really big, for now

JESUS began HIS ministry and FINISHED

what HE was BORN to do

the moment HE said the WORDS

"IT IS FINISHED".

For when the life of JESUS died on the CROSS, 

LIFE began for one and for all

because

JESUS ROSE from the dead.

And that my friend is what

CHRISTMAS is all about.

FROM THE CRADLE TO THE CROSS.

So today,

have a CHRISTMAS in your HEART that lasts forever.

“This is how much GOD loved the world:

 HE gave HIS SON, his one and only SON.

And this is why:

so that no one need be destroyed;

 by BELIEVING IN HIM, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

 GOD didn’t go to all the trouble of sending HIS SON merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was.

 HE came to help, to put the world right again.

 Anyone who TRUSTS IN HIM is acquitted; anyone who refuses to TRUST HIM has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why?

 Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind

SON OF GOD when introduced to HIM"

(John 3:16-18 MSG),

CHRISTMAS IN JULY,

Because

"HE LIVES"
