EliYah's message:

HalleluYah!!!

Psalms 20:7 - Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of YAHWEH our Elohim.

Psalms 9:10 - And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, YAHWEH, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Tonight I would like to encourage ALL to TRUST IN YAHWEH.

Not just now, but in all times!

Psalms 62:8 - Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.

With so many distractions, entertainments, and technologies it is easy to let other things be that which we put our trust in.

Some may trust in the strength of their country's military.

Others may trust in their own wisdom, the ability of this world to supply our needs, or trust in another person.

But all throughout scripture we are told that we should trust in Yahweh "at all times"

The importance of trust cannot be underestimated.

Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in YAHWEH with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

There is a lot to be said in this scripture.

Much of what can hinder trust revolves around what is perhaps the greatest enemy of trust: "Fear".

Psalms 112:5 - A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Psalms 112:6 - Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

Psalms 112:7 - He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in YAHWEH.

How fixed is your heart? Did you know that we need not be fearful of evil tidings or bad news?

Why? We have Yahweh!

And if we have Yahweh...then we have everything we need.

Do we believe this?

He is our guide through this wilderness, through this land and kingdom that is not our own.

When the fire or cloud moves, we need not fear the giants ahead.

Brethren, the signs seem to point out to us that we are living in the final generation of man until Messiah returns.

It appears that there will be great turmoil in the not so distant future.

Through it all, we need not fear

Many are the web sites, newsletters and magazines proclaiming the dangers of various conspiracies and evil plans by various world leaders.

Probably a lot of it isn't even true, and often they do little more than paralyze people with fear.

What is the worst that could happen?

Well, we would die.

Philippians 1:21 - For to me to live is the Messiah, and to die is gain.

Oh, but then we might be tortured in some way also right?

Yes

Are we prepared to for Messiah what Messiah did for us?

1Peter 2:21 - For to this you were called, because the Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

Luke 6:22 - Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Luke 6:23 - Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

It is true taht we may be tested as the children of Israel were, but through it all we can be sure that Yahweh is our guide and we need not fear.

Fear of man, circumstances is related to a lack of faith

Fear is why the children of Israel wanted to go back to Egypt. They didn't want to face the "giants" ahead.

But those who trust in Yahweh do not want to go back to the vomit.

Those who trust in Yahweh know that "they are bread for us" and Yahweh is stronger

Numbers 14:8 - If YAHWEH delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

Numbers 14:9 - Only rebel not ye against YAHWEH, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and YAHWEH is with us: fear them not.

The fear of man and circumstances is in some ways equal to Atheism.

When we lack faith in Yahweh due to our fears, we do not believe that Yahweh exists and that His promises to deliver us are true.

This is dangerous ground!

Luke 18:8 - I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Friends and brethren, Yahweh's promises are true!

There is a good kind of fear and a bad kind of fear as Yahushua illustrates:

Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Fear in and of itself is not necessarily bad thing. But "who" we fear is important.

Fear of Yahweh is good, but fear of man is not!

Consider the example of King Saul:

1Samuel 15:18 - And YAHWEH sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.

1Samuel 15:19 - Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of YAHWEH, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of YAHWEH?

1Samuel 15:20 - And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of YAHWEH, and have gone the way which YAHWEH sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

Yahweh had told Saul to destroy the Amalekites and everything they had, but Saul decided to keep the best of the spoil and sacrifice it to Yahweh.

1Samuel 15:21 - But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto YAHWEH thy Elohim in Gilgal.

"But the people"

1Samuel 15:22 - And Samuel said, Hath YAHWEH as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of YAHWEH? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

1Samuel 15:23 - For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of YAHWEH, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

1Samuel 15:24 - And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of YAHWEH, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

Now read carefully Saul's motive...he "feared the people" rather than fearing Yahweh

It was for this cause that Saul rebelled (which in Yahweh's eyes is as idolatry) and only partially obeyed Yahweh as a result (partial obedience is disobedience).

Proverbs 29:25 - The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in YAHWEH shall be safe.

Saul fell into the snare

The same kind of snare exists in this age as well

Many will not walk in Yahweh's ways for fear of what men will say.

Few are willing to set that fear aside and put their trust in Yahweh first and foremost.

It was true in Yahushua's day:

John 12:42 - Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

John 12:43 - For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of YAHWEH.

The fear of man, along with the lack of fear and trust in Yahweh, is often the root of why a "pastor" won't preach the truth about the Sabbath, certain other commandments of Yahweh, or the true names.

A fear of circumstances rather than a trust in Yahweh is very dangerous.

Consider now the example of Jehoshaphat (Yahushaphat), a righteous king that chose to trust in Yahweh.

Judah was surrounded by armies from 3 nations, but Jehoshaphat trusted in Yahweh:

2Chronicles 20:20 - And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in YAHWEH your Elohim, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

There they were, surrounded by an allied army with great power and strength in the flesh.

But Yahushaphat encouraged them to trust in Yahweh, believing in His word

How would we react in this situation?

2Chronicles 20:21 - And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto YAHWEH, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise YAHWEH; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Usually a military would appoint the most powerful warriors to be on the front lines. The most choice men would be put first in the hopes of striking fear in the enemy.

But Yahushaphat chose singers and praisers of Yahweh!

What faith, what trust!

2Chronicles 20:22 - And when they began to sing and to praise, YAHWEH set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

2Chronicles 20:23 - For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

2Chronicles 20:24 - And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

How's that for the power of praise, faith and and trust!?

Consider the magnitude of the opposition in this instance. Truly, the challenges we face in our own lives pale in comparison.

If Yahweh can do this to armies that fight against His people, can He not also deliver us?

Yes, let's trust in HIM

They didn't fear man, they trusted in Yahweh

Jeremiah 17:5 - Thus saith YAHWEH; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from YAHWEH.

Jeremiah 17:6 - For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

Surely we do not want to be cursed, but rather... blessed!

Yet, millions put their trust in some pastor, some "church father" or spiritual leader rather than Yahweh.

They trust the person to read the scriptures for them, and tell them what it says. If it sounds logical, and in accordance with what they think is right.. they'll often just go along with it, refusing to read the scriptures and study it for themselves.

But what we really need to do is trust in Yahweh

Jeremiah 17:7 - Blessed is the man that trusteth in YAHWEH, and whose hope YAHWEH is.

Jeremiah 17:8 - For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

If we put our trust in Yahweh, we will be willing to seek Him directly and heed the things that He reveals to us.

So where are we placing our trust?

Down deep in the heart, Yahweh knows...

And before you say, "He knows my heart..."

be careful!

next verse...

Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Yes, He does know our hearts

Jeremiah 17:10 - I YAHWEH search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

And because of that, maybe we ought to be shaking in their shoes!

Too often it is often used as an excuse to continue in sin.

Who are we trusting right now? Yahweh tries the heart to see whom we trust

Who are among those who attend "services" so that they need not read the word themselves?

Amongst churches, people pay big money for this "service" of reading and explaining the word of Yahweh via their tithes and offerings.

They forget or don't know that Yahweh wants us to trust in Him for the truth.

They assume that our spiritual life is "just another" part of our life to get in order

So they go to the "experts" to make sure they get it right

After all, when your plumbing is messed up.. you call a plumber, right?

And when you need help with courts, you call and attorney, right?

an

So you go to the experts

But brethren, our spiritual life isn't to be "just another thing we check off the list"

Yahweh demands that we give Him ALL of our hearts

Deuteronomy 6:5 - And thou shalt love YAHWEH thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Don't put any man in between you and Yahweh

Yahweh isn't just another thing to check off our list. He must be #1 in every single aspect of our lives!

We must seek the truth in His word for ourselves, and don't just believe something because somebody told you

Don't trust anyone, including me! I'm not worthy of your trust. Only Yahweh is truly worthy of our trust. Only He will never fail us.

Seek your own relationship with Yahweh, and ask Him to teach you in His word.. He will lead you!

James 1:5 - If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of YAHWEH, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

That's a promise that we are not to doubt. "It will be given to Him"

James 1:6 - But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

James 1:7 - For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from YAHWEH;

James 1:8 - he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

At the same time, don't be so high minded that you assume that everything you understand is 100% truth. Yahweh teaches us little by little, at a pace that we can bear.

But we must seek wisdom, or we might be in serious trouble.

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy Elohim, I will also forget thy children.

Let's not reject the law of our Elohim... let's receive it and let it teach us.

There are plenty of teachers to turn us away from the law/Torah of Yahweh

Matthew 24:3 - And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Matthew 24:4 - And Yahushua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Many go to their "church" to get their ears tickled and receive the weekly dose of warm and fuzzies, but they forget the law of Yahweh, and that He wants us to obey Him and truly trust in Him for salvation.

For those who do might the word, there are bibles so thick with commentary that the words of commentary often outsize the word of Yahweh!

Try to find an NIV bible without a bunch of commentary! Until someone finally sent me one a few years ago, I searched but could not find any large print NIV without some kind of commentary.

Brethren, this is not a time to sit back in our easy chairs and let others do the seeking.

Cursed is the man that trusts in man. It is time to seek Yahweh!

Hosea 10:12 - Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek YAHWEH, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

Isaiah 55:6 - Seek ye YAHWEH while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Yahweh wants to know, in whom will we trust?

For those of you who have come to this meeting tonight seeking someone you can trust, I again say to you don't put your trust in any man, including myself. I am man and am subject to failure. I invite you to seek Yahweh. Only He is worthy of our trust.

Don't even put all your trust in your spouse, or your parents, or any man. Man will let you down, Yahweh will not!

In fact...

Don't even trust in yourself!

Proverbs 28:26 - He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Will we trust in ourselves?

Will we trust in our own ability to seek knowledge and "figure out things?"

Are we just trusting in our own capabilities to walk out that knowledge?

Let's trust in Yahweh for our strength and wisdom...

Psalms 111:10 - The fear of YAHWEH is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Isaiah 40:29 - He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Psalms 68:35 - O Elohim, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the El of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be Elohim.

Let's fear and trust in Yahweh. Those who do His commandments will have a good understanding

Due to circumstances and events, it might appear to some people that trusting in Yahweh is illogical and foolish.

Some may even ridicule us, as they did Yahushua, who also experienced the testing of Yahweh in this:

Psalms 22:1 - My El, my El, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

The first part of this verse in Psalm 22 is what Yahushua quoted when he was on the tree, dying for us.

Psalms 22:2 - O my Elohim, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

Psalms 22:3 - But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Psalms 22:4 - Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

Psalms 22:5 - They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

Yahushua remembered those who trusted in Yahweh, that they were delivered.

The religious leaders of Yahushua's day mocked him for doing so:

Matthew 27:41 - Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

Matthew 27:42 - He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

Matthew 27:43 - He trusted in Elohim; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of Elohim.

He continued to trust in Elohim, and we know where Yahushua is now...at the right hand of the Father, highly exalted and given all authority

Matthew 28:18 - And Yahushua came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Matthew 28:19 - Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

Matthew 28:19 - Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

As His disciples, we are called to walk in His footsteps

Teaching men, baptizing them and making disciples (taught ones)

Teaching them to observe the things Yahushua has commanded

We are called to trust.

In whom did David place his trust when fighting Goliath? In swords and armor?

A few rocks?

He also was mocked:

1Samuel 17:42 - And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

1Samuel 17:43 - And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by hiselohim.

1Samuel 17:44 - And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.

1Samuel 17:45 - Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of YAHWEH of hosts, the Elohim of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

David DID trust, and he DID prevail!. It didn't seem so at first, but in the end..Yahweh always prevails.

We should not trust in the swords of men. We should put our trust in the sword of Yahweh, His word!

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of YAHWEH is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

For if we can trust in Yahweh, we can also trust in His word.

There are many swords out there--swords/words of men that might appear to give life and hope...

...but we should trust in Yahweh's word!

Psalms 119:42 - So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

All that happened with poor Job, a man who was also falsely accused, mocked and afflicted

Job 13:15 - Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

Brethren, when we read something in His word, we can trust that it is truth. His word does not fail. As Yahushua said "The Scripture cannot be broken."

When we read the news, or listen to the radio or even listen to sermons... we hear the words of man and must filter them in light of the truth of Yahweh's word.

But when we hear or read the words of Yahweh, we KNOW they are true!

What a blessing! We can have 100% confidence that Yahweh IS truth and His word IS truth. We found someone we can believe!

By His words we are sanctified:

John 17:17 - Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Therefore brethren, let us trust in Yahweh and in His word. Yahushua has shown us that Yahweh is trustworthy and so is His word!

Every false doctrine and religion has one thing in common: It rejects parts of Yahweh's word.

Mainstream Christianity refuses to accept the "Old testament" as applicable and true today.

Mainstream Judaism refuses to accept the "New testament" as applicable and true today.

Some want to reject Paul and his writings as being applicable and true today.

Various false doctrines have to ignore certain scriptures and/or regard them as spurious and contradictory.

But Yahweh's word is true, from cover to cover

Once you start ripping out the pages, you start molding your own elohim. One that fits into a mold that you want.

But we need to trust and believe that Yahweh is true, and His word is truth!

But even if we have failed Yahweh, we can trust that He is merciful! The psalmist had no choice but to trust in Yahweh's mercy:

Psalms 13:3 - Consider and hear me, O YAHWEH my Elohim: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Psalms 13:4 - Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Psalms 13:5 - But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

Yahweh's word declares He is merciful. It is up to us to believe what He says.

He gives mercy to the humble, to those who love His word.

Remember that it was because of a lack of trust that the children of Israel murmured against Moshe and murmured against Yahweh in the wilderness. Maybe they saw all the times that Yahweh punished them and sent plagues and death due to their sins.

And for that reason they thought He wouldn't have mercy

But Yahweh is merciful and gracious, forgiving our sins if we repent and confess our sin before Him.

If we have this kind of mind, we need not fear that Yahweh is rejecting you. We can believe and trust that Yahweh loves us and accepts us as one of His children.

The plan of salvation is very simple. It is the enemy and his servants that pervert it and make it more complicated than it is.

It is the enemies of Yahweh and his servants that like to set up various snares and traps so that we get bogged down in our walk.

Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in YAHWEH with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

"lean not unto thine own understanding." This is where many struggle.

There are times that we encounter situations that are BEYOND our understanding and we try to explain their cause and effect.

Job was an excellent example. Yahweh called Job "a blameless and upright man."

Yet fire from heaven destroyed all he had and he was afflicted with much pains.

Job seemingly wanted to know, "WHY??"

Job 3:11 - Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

Job 3:12 - Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

Job 3:13 - For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

In that last few chapters of Job, Yahweh doesn't really seem give Job a full answer as to why.. though perhaps He did later in life.

Yahweh simply asks Job..

Job 38:4 - Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Brethren, His ways are so much higher and He is so much greater that sometimes we may not even comprehend all that takes place in His presence.

Could we explain to an ant how we are all communicating to one another through computers?

Sometimes Yahweh's understanding of things are beyond our comprehension and we have to be humble enough to accept and admit that!

Psalms 131:1 - YAHWEH, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Psalms 131:2 - Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

Psalms 131:3 - Let Israel hope in YAHWEH from henceforth and for ever.

We just have to trust that He knows what He is doing, and He is a loving Elohim. Just and right is He!

Deuteronomy 32:4 - He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: An El of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Concerning the things in heaven and earth, we can see a tiny slice of the past and a tiny slice of the present tense, and even less of the future.

We can only see what is in our immediate locale, but Yahweh sees everything! He knows the thoughts of every man on the face of the earth, and why man thinks them.

He sees the millions of prayers, all situations and all things.

Let's confess that some things are just "too high for us", though other times we can be given the understanding if we seek.

We should just trust in Yahweh, even when we do not understand. We shouldn't be proud in assuming we always understand everything.

Because our human reasoning may not be right.

Proverbs 30:5 - Every word of Eloah is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Proverbs 30:6 - Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Yahweh help us.

Brethren, we don't need to torment ourselves with "WHY?". We need only to trust in Him.. that He is good and is looking out for our best interest.

That's what He wants from us, brethren

If we place a requirement to understand FIRST---BEFORE we will trust---then we are not really trusting in Yahweh with all our heart, we are trusting in our own understanding.

But here is a blessed secret...

Oftentimes, it's only when we DO trust, that Yahweh gives us the understanding!

Oftentimes, if we wait on Yahweh and let a situation ride itself out, we can look back and see His hand in everything

Just because we don't understand something, it does not mean that Yahweh is not merciful or His word is not truth

Just because we don't understand "why Yahweh would allow this" or "why Yahweh would allow that" doesn't mean that Yahweh is not merciful or that His word is not truth or that He is unjust.

He IS merciful, His word says so.

Psalms 103:8 - YAHWEH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

His word is truth, His word says so.

John 17:17 - Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

He is just. His word says so.

Deuteronomy 32:4 - He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: An El of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

We just need to believe Him!

But if we don't, He may make Himself appear that He is not!

Sending us delusions

So what must we do?

Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in YAHWEH with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Proverbs 3:6 - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:7 - Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear YAHWEH, and depart from evil.

Let's seek the ways of Yahweh, seek His righteousness, pray for wisdom.. then TRUST.

Obey what Yahweh says, doubting nothing.

Trust in Yahweh, fear Him and do not do evil

Acknowledge Him in everything, putting Him first

And be humble, fearing Him, departing from evil and seeking His wisdom

BELIEVE in Him, no matter what situation you are in..or how long you are in it !

Do what Yahweh says. Even if you are the last person on the face of the earth doing it!

Even if you don't understand it, you must! We don't need to fully understand, we just need to believe that Yahweh already does.. and we are in His care.

In His care...as a child.

There is no better place to be.

Yahweh is strong, and wise.

Proverbs 18:10 - The name of YAHWEH is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Yahweh is Mighty, and in control.

The everlasting strength of Yahweh is worthy of our trust:

Isaiah 26:4 - Trust ye in YAHWEH for ever: for in YAH YAHWEH is everlasting strength:

I will boast in Yahweh, and the humble will rejoice.

Psalms 34:2 - My soul shall make her boast in YAHWEH: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

Let's trust in the lovingkindness of Yahweh!

Psalms 36:7 - How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O Elohim! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

Let's trust in the riches of Yahweh, not the riches of men!

Psalms 62:10 - Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

1Timothy 6:17 - Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living Elohim, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Proverbs 23:4 - Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Proverbs 23:5 - Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Proverbs 11:28 - He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Mark 10:24 - And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Yahushua answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of YAHWEH!

You who seek Yahweh, trust in Him!

Psalms 9:10 - And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, YAHWEH, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Trust in Yahweh who has delivered us from death!

2Corinthians 9:10 - Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;

2Corinthians 9:11 - you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to Elohim.

2Corinthians 1:9 - indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves in order that we should not trust in ourselves, but in YAHWEH who raises the dead;

2Corinthians 1:10 - who delivered us from so great a death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,

No matter what happens...Trust in Yahweh!

Job 13:15 - Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

Those who trust in Yahweh will have even the desires of their heart granted!

Psalms 37:4 - Delight thyself also in YAHWEH; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Brothers and sisters, examine THIS promise!

Psalms 125:1 - They that trust in YAHWEH shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Psalms 125:2 - As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so YAHWEH is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Psalms 125:3 - For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

If we would abide in eternal life, we need to Trust in Yahweh, for there is nobody like Him and it is He that is truly worthy of our trust!!

Let's remember where Yahushua is.

As He did, let it be that in times of trouble, we will always focus on the Father...not on the troubles and trials.

Let it be that in gladness..

sadness..

sickness...

health..

good days..

bad days..

Sabbath days..

Every day

we will Trust in Yahweh

For then His rewards await us.

And then we will see His face..

And we will again see that all along, He was worthy of our trust... and always will be.

He is the most powerful being in the universe, He is worthy of our trust.

May Yahweh bless you and may He have mercy on us all!
