We were encouraged at Bible study last night in a teaching that included Psalm 105, "an exhortation to Israel to worship and trust in the Lord." I was reminded once again of the observation I heard from a pastor a couple of years ago at a men's conference: "His past faithfulness demands my present trust." Following are three reassuring Scriptures, starting with David in the Psalms and moving to Paul and Peter, writing to fellow believers after Christ's death, resurrection and ascension.
Psalm 105: 14-15
"He allowed no one to oppress them;
for their sake He rebuked kings:
'Do not touch my anointed ones;
do my prophets no harm'."
2 Thessalonians 3:3
"But the Lord is faithful,
and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one."
1 Peter 1:3-5
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In His great mercy He has given us new birth, into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade
-- kept in Heaven for you, who through faith are shielded
by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready
to be revealed in the last time."
