We can trust Christ, we can believe Him!!!!

It is the false leadership within the organized church buildings who are driving all the wrong beliefs and the majority in the pews do not care, they accept the error in favor of superficial peace and happiness. Error is not important to most people since the mentality of our day is basically, "That's good enough", as long as they are doing some of what is good they ignore any sin or evil that creeps into the gathering.

Notice I don't say "joy" but rather "happiness"? Born-again believers have joy no matter what is happening around them or to them. The joy of the Lord comes from the Holy Spirit and nothing and no one can quench it. Even through our griefs and sorrow that ever-present joy lingers helping us through whatever God has for us.

Beating us up with words or physically and emotionally abusing us cannot remove our joy, It only strengthens our resolve to follow Christ knowing His purposes and wisdom are above ours. His greater good is better than my best.

Isaiah 55:8-9

8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts than your thoughts."

When we spend most of our time figuring things out that make sense to our human thinking, we are not seeking God. When we seek Christ in us He will tell us to do things that go against our fleshly ideas of "the right thing to do."

When the Holy Spirit moves within us it is often swimming upstream from those who are floating downstream with the herd.

Psalm 40:5

"Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us--none can compare to You--if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count."

Isaiah 14:24

"The LORD of Hosts has sworn: "Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand."

Psalm 40:5

"5 Many, Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done,

And Your thoughts toward us;

There is no one to compare with You.

If I would declare and speak of them,

They would be too numerous to count."

We can trust Christ, we can believe Him!!!!
