God’s plan and His ways of working out His plan are frequently beyond our ability to fathom and understand. We must learn to trust when we don’t understand.

God is sovereign over every person and event in our lives. If we trust that God is in control, we can let go the heavy burden we often try to carry on our own shoulder - the burden of trying to control other people and our situations. How can you surrender control & trust in God today?

Can God Be Trusted?
Trusting God, Even When Life Hurts by Jerry Bridges “No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father’s attention; no circumstance is so big that He cannot control it.” “An unreserved trust of God , when we don’t understand what is happening or why, is the only road to peace and comfort and joy.” I’ve read and reviewed several books by Jerry Bridges, and like his others,…

Jerry Bridges afirma que há quatro ações essenciais e fundamentais que nos capacitam a combater o bom combate da fé e terminar bem a vida cristã: (1) um tempo diário de comunhão consagrada com Deus; (2) uma apropriação diária do evangelho; (3) um compromisso diário de ser um sacrifício vivo para Deus; (4) uma crença firme na soberania e no amor de Deus. Nosso alvo não é somente persistir, mas também perseverar.
Jerry Bridges em Firmes: um chamado à perseverança dos santos, p.16
Editado por John Piper e Justin Taylor.

Applications of Godliness
“The key to godliness is not more knowledge,” opined Woodrow Knoll, “but more obedience.” Indeed, godliness issues itself in following Jesus, daily bearing His cross, and willingly submitting to His commands (Lk. 9:23).  Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (Jn 14:15). The beloved John further amplified that fact when he wrote, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His…

"This is not make-believe. You are indeed guilty in yourself, but God no longer regards you as guilty, because the guilt of your sin has already been borne by Christ as your substitute. The sentence has been served. The penalty has been paid. To use Paul’s expression, you have died to sin’s guilt." - Jerry Bridges

Grace is the love of God shown to the unlovely. It is God reaching downward to people who are in rebellion against Him.

What an encouragement this should be to us! If we trust God, we can be confident that while God will allow nothing to undermine His glory, He will also allow nothing that is not meant for our good.

Developing a Heart that Fears God
Cultivating the Fear of God as a Lifestyle This past Sunday I had the privilege of teaching a class on the fear of God. This was my third session of about 8 in the class. Today’s assignment for me as a teacher was “how do we cultivate a life that demonstrates a fear of God?” That is a great question to ask. If the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, how could it not be wise to ask that…
