Who are you trusting in?

Nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. 
2 Timothy 1:12

For I know whom I have believed......

What does this mean to you?

When I was first saved, it simply meant, that the God who had saved me, would keep me...which is enough.

But as I walk along on my Christian journey and God reveals more and more of His precious truth to my soul, it has come to mean so much more! God will keep everything that I have committed to Him. He will not fail me in anything! He will keep every promise, His blessing and mercy shall never fail, and His grace will be sufficient!

What have I committed to Him? It is important to know what you have committed to Christ and if there is anything that you are holding back. Is there anything you are not willing to let God be in control of? Is there anything that you are still trying to have your own way in? 
.....When we are trusting God and completely surrendered to His will we will be completely content in what God has chosen/given us. When we are completely living our life in Christ, no matter what happens we are able to say with a heart full of praise to our God, Thank you Lord Jesus, you do all things well!

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I have not seen the righteous forsaken.....

And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

God is my strength and power: and He maketh my way perfect. 2 Samuel 22:33

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and He shall give thee the

desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4

Not only will we have joy in Christ and what He is doing but it will be a 

source of comfort to us! Because when we know what we have

committed to Him, we know what to expect from Him. We know what

He will not take away (our salvation), and we know what He may take

away.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

who for the joy that was set before Him endured the

cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right

hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter?

saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's

hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Jeremiah 16:8

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be
content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

This has been such a precious comfort to me as I have been preparing
to go, when uncertainty's or challenges arise, I am able to say, I have
committed this to the Lord and He will bring it to pass. In His time and
in His way, it will truly be perfect. Thank you God!
