~ God Helps Us See Our Real Self ~
Introduction
~ “Abundant Life Now” previously provided
a list of Biblical of examples of fearing / reverencing God (217 posts). In this current series we look at Biblical
accounts that demonstrate that we can fully trust God. Initially we posted seven general reasons for
trusting God. We are currently looking
at passages from all 66 books of Scripture which demonstrate a reason for
trusting our Creator.
Scripture
~ “The word of the Lord that came
to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah,
kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of
Israel. When the Lord began to speak by
Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea: ‘Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry and
children of harlotry, for the land has committed great harlotry by departing
from the Lord.’
“So he went
and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a
son. Then the Lord said to him: ‘Call
his name Jezreel, for in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel
on the house of Jehu, and bring an end to the kingdom of the house of
Israel. It shall come to pass in that
day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.’
“And she
conceived again and bore a daughter.
Then God said to him: ‘Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer
have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly take them away. Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,
will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by
sword or battle, by horses or horsemen.’
Now when she
had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. Then God said: ‘Call his name Lo-Ammi, for
you are not My people, and I will not be your God” (Hosea 1:1-9).
