The Trustworthiness of God - Can I really Trust God?

10 PROMISES OF GOD IN TIME OF YOUR NEED

1. God promises to strengthen you.

“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom

every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according

to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with

power through his Spirit in your inner being.” (Ephesians 3:14-16 ESV)


2. God promises to give you rest.

“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and

carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because

I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.’” (Matthew 11:28-30 NLT)


3. God promises to take care of all your needs.

“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 NLT)


4. God promises to answer your prayers.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock,

and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7 ESV)


5. God promises to work everything out for your good.

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for

the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” (Romans 8:28 NLT)


6. God promises to be with you

“I will not fail you or abandon you. This is my command—be strong and

courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged.

For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:5, 9NLT)


7. God promises to protect you.

“This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.” (Psalm 91:2 NLT)


8. God promises freedom from sin.

“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” (1 John 1:9 NLT)

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36 ESV)


9. God promises that nothing can separate you from Him.

“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present

nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39 ESV)


10. God promises you everlasting life.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him

should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 ESV)

From Dispersed To Exile

God allows 'life pauses' where moments that we are stopped dead on our tracks while he accomplishes His will.  It's not a comfortable place, but yet necessary.    There are many examples of this in the Bible, but it is one that we do not enjoy.  One key reason for this moment is God's expression of "tough love" (Prov. 3:11-12, Hebrews 12:4-11).    The Divided Kingdom of Israel and Judah sinned against God and they went to the place of no return (Isaiah 28-33; 2 Kings 17:16-20).  As a result, the Divided Kingdoms were shattered.   The Northern Kingdom Israel was dispersed by the Assyrian in 722 B.C. and the Southern Kingdom Judah was exiled by the Babylonians in 587 B.C.    In the midst of Israel's and Judah's life pause, God encourages three things:    Come back to God and renew your relationships with him.   Endure and thrive in the time of your exile. Look forward to the hope that is in Jesus.   DIDISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.       Define in your own word
