Dear Partner,

Proverbs 3:5-6 “⁵Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. ⁶In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 [Amp] “⁵Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. ⁶In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.”

Psalms 125:1 “They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.”

How do we learn to trust the Lord? We decide that the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is our guide for living as God, through Jesus Christ, would have us live. As the TV has a guide to indicate what is on each channel daily or for a month, so also does the Bible have a promise for all of life’s situations. III John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” These promises can keep us healthy, wealthy and wise through continuous use.

There are times when we cannot find a specific promise or the answer seems vague. Romans 8:16 “The Spirit itself (Himself – He is a person – the third person of the Godhead) beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” After prayer, reading and studying the word (Bible), sometimes you will still not have a definite answer. The inner witness can now be trusted. It is a knowing in your spirit that THIS is right or true. The promise of God’s word and the inner witness are two different things, but they never contradict each other. Both are vital in our walk with God. Colossians 3:15 “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” The word rule means to umpire. It will umpire as in baseball. The umpire determines if a player sliding into home plate is safe or out; he determines if a ball hit down the line is in play or out of play. In the same way your spirit will, with the peace of God, determine your action or direction. Peace – safe passage, no peace – no passage. In all our ways, we should acknowledge (rely on and trust) Him.

In His love,

George Moss

p.s. There were so many creative miracles at Believer’s Christian Fellowship that I could not do justice to them by trying to put them into this letter. I’ll put them all out together at a later time. The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.
