In what are we confiding?

  • “For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.” (Isaiah 47.10).

Many times we say that we trust Jesus. Nonetheless, when the problems come about, we deposit our confidence on the power of piety (2Timothy 3.5) or in the powers of this world (Psa 20.7; 147.10-11; Isaiah 30.1-3; 31.1-3)?

The Holy Scripture is clear:

  • “For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.” (Ezekiel 7:13).

At the moment that we make use of violence (contradicting Ezekiel 4.6), everything looks to be success (apparently we get rid of the bothering). Nevertheless, the true evil that harass us come inside from us (Lamentations 3.39):

  • “Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.” (Jeremiah 5:25).

Recall that it is from our heart that spring forth the fountains of life (Proverbs 3.27) and we are what we feed (Jeremiah 13.23; Amos 3.10).

So, amass only what Jesus gives you and you only will have condition of reaping the good treasure that you will be able to seed (Matthew 12.34-37; Luke 6.44-45; Galatians 6.7-9).

May Jesus be with you all the moments.
