WEEK 46 – DAY 5
MOST FAITHFUL TRUSTEE
If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself. 2 TIMOTHY 2:13 (AMPC)
Jesus must remain true to His word because He is the Word made flesh (John 1:14) and the embodiment of truth. John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Jesus also said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” He Himself is the Truth we must know in order to be set free from sin and death. The Lord has promised that those who believe in, trust in, rely on Jesus will be given eternal life and dwell with Him forever. He cannot and will not break His promise to His children. Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Jesus promises us that He will hold on to us and never let us go: John 10:27-28, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” Sadly, the opposite is also true. If one lacks faith, refuses to believe, and does not trust Jesus, then Jesus will deny him or her. He cannot deny His own holiness by giving eternal life to someone who has never followed Him and been cleansed by the blood of His sacrifice as the final perfect Lamb of God. A trustee is someone who manages money in trust for another person. I (Susan) have an Irrevocable Special Needs Life Trust as a result of a civil suit. I have a trustee who is faithful to manage the account. Have you entrusted your life and your future to the only One who is completely trustworthy and faithful? If not, today could be the day Jesus changes your life forever. If you have surrendered your will to His, one day we will meet joyfully in our forever home where the Lamb of Glory will reign in majesty and has held our future dwelling place in trust until our arrival.
Lord, thank You that we can trust You completely to hold our future securely.
