BLESSED ASSURANCE

Can we honestly say we trust God with everything that we do?EVERYTHING? King Solomon shares this with us,very familiar scripture,5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight.[a]
 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
   fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
   and nourishment to your bones.
We must believe God no matter what the the circumstances maybe.Good,bad,indifferent,small,large,insurmountable there is nothing too hard or difficult for our mighty God. We must trust in him that our very life is in his hands.We often take for granted that he is watching over us and our family constantly every second of every minute and hour of the day.He knows the plans he has for us, and he knows even greater than that, our designed purpose for being in the world.

Our minds need to be fixed on him so we can hear him as he is speaking  and reaching out to us to strengthen and build us up for our separate journeys.The end result is we all will be blessed(Only if we are walking in complete obedience and submission to him)to join him and walk around in our real home with our heavenly father.
In the letter to the Romans Apostle Paul shares this with us in Romans 8:24-25,"24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Now the word "Hope" in this scripture is defined as "BLESSED ASSURANCE" .
Let's replace the word hope with"blessed assurance with this scripture and it reads like this,"24 For in this "blessed assurance we were saved. But "blessed assurance" that is seen is no "Blessed assurance" at all. Who has "blessed assurance" for what they already have? 25 But if we have "blessed assurance" for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
Interesting,huh?We have to know God is going to do what he promised and stop wavering in what we know he has promised us.....Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2,"  “What no eye has seen,
   what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[b]
   the things God has prepared for those who love him—
 10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
You cannot know the spirit of God if there is no relationship with him,therefore you can have no blessed assurance of what his word says it will perform.His word,well its powerful,Isaiah says in 55:11,11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
   It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
   and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Blessed Assurance is yours only if you desire it.........Grace and Peace........
