TRUST In the Starting Point


we must realize…
TRUST IS THE STARTING POINT

God has told us that out of our heart* comes everything we do.  The one thing God also says is that we must TRUST HIM from our heart*.
          Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding.
              In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”  Proverbs 3:5-6

* There is big understanding we must have…each Christian has 2 hearts.  One is left over from our physical birth that God gives all new humans (a spiritual heart, not the physical one beating and pumping blood…part of the original “soul” each human is physically born with).  The other one is a NEW spiritual heart that is part of the NEW Soul all Christians receive at the New Birth.

When God speaks about “all thine heart” in Proverbs 3:5 (like virtually all other times He speaks as such), He is talking about the New spiritual heart.  The Old one could NEVER trust in God!

When we know this, we are able to recognize and realize which heart we need to be sure we are operating from.  And which one our actions show we are operating from.  And make a change if need be.

BUT, without TRUSTING GOD we get nowhere to heading down the paths God would direct us down…
