Hello Everyone,

Listen to Martin Luther,

"Faith . . . honors him whom it trusts with the most reverent and highest regard since it considers him

truthful and trustworthy. There is no other honor equal to the estimate of truthfulness and righteousness with which we honor him whom we trust. . . . On the other hand, there is no way in which we can show greater contempt for a man than to regard him as false and wicked and to be suspicious of him, as we do when we do not trust him."

Trusting God’s promises is one of the most fundamental ways that you can consciously glorify God.

When you believe a promise of God, you honor God’s ability to do what He promised and His willingness and His wisdom to know how to do it.

When You Trust, You Glorify

The way to battle against anxiety is to believe the promise of 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

When we believe that promise, God’s ability to help us, His wisdom to help me, and His willingness to help us are glorified.

When you trust somebody, you honor them at the deepest level.

Therefore, if the goal of the church is to glorify God in all that we do, we must make it our aim in all that we do to battle unbelief.

It was when Abraham believed the promise of God that God was glorified.

Oh How HE Loves Us!
