Trusting in the living God instead of in uncertain riches

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

Things can change very rapidly in this present world. In the Bible, the apostle Paul warns us to put our trust in God rather than in "uncertain riches."  (I Timothy 6)

 

Can you trust in the unseen, instead of in the seen?

 

In the end, everything we can see with our natural eyes will be destroyed.

 

If we trust in any human or in a government of men, we put ourselves in great risk. Some are trusting in their church group and think they are trusting in God. Usually those who are trusting in their church group tell other people about that church group. When we speak with other people are we telling them about the living God and what God has done? Or are we speaking about a minister or a church group?

 

There is still time to make an adjustment, at least I think so, although unexpected things are happening rather rapidly.

I Timothy 6:17  Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

 

 

Romans 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

 

 

Philippians 2:3-8  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

 

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

 

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

 

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

 

7 But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

 

8 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 

 

2 Peter 3:10-14   But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

 

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

 

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

 

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

 

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

 

 

John 4:23-24  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship HIM.

 

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.

 

 

Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

 

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 

 

Proverbs 16:25  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

 

James 3:16-17   For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

 

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

 

 

Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
