Word of Tuesday
Verse of the day: Jeremiah 17:7-8 “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; Its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit”
Chris comment: There is a difference between faith and trust in God. Faith can fail because of bad circumstances but trust remains UNSHAKABLE no matter what.
It’s all about the foundation of you faith. If your faith is based on the informations you get from people or from the news, well you’ll be comfortable when the news are good but once the news are bad, your faith is transformed to fear.
If you are a Christian, I know you believe in God which means you have faith. My next question is: “Do you trust God?”. It’s good to believe in God BUT it’s way much better to trust him. It’s good to believe that there is only one mighty God, but I want to remind you that even demons believe so according to James 2:19. But demons don’t trust God because there is no longer a good and mutual relationship between them and Him.
As Christians, we should go further than just believing God but trusting Him regardless the bad circumstances. We should build our trust on what He has already said because If He said something; He’ll stay behind His word to fulfill it (Jeremiah 1:12).

La Parole du jour : mardi
Verset du jour: Jérémie 17 :7-8 « Béni soit l'homme qui se confie dans l'Éternel, Et dont l'Éternel est l'espérance! Il est comme un arbre planté près des eaux, Et qui étend ses racines vers le courant; Il n'aperçoit point la chaleur quand elle vient, Et son feuillage reste vert; Dans l'année de la sécheresse, il n'a point de crainte, Et il ne cesse de porter du fruit»
Commentaire de Chris: Il y’a une différence entre la foi et la confiance en Dieu. La foi peut faillir à cause des circonstances négatives mais la confiance reste inamovible quoi qu’il advienne.
Tout dépend de la fondation de votre foi. Si ta foi est basée sur les informations que tu reçois des gens ou des medias, alors tu seras confortable quand les informations seront bonnes mais quand les informations seront mauvaises, ta foi sera transformée en peur.
Si tu es chrétien, je sais que tu crois en Dieu, ce qui veut dire que tu as la foi. Ma question est celle-ci : « As-tu confiance en Dieu ? ». C’est bien de croire en Dieu MAIS c’est de loin mieux de lui faire confiance. C’est bien de croire qu’il y’a un seul Dieu puissant, mais je veux te rappeler que même les démons le croient d’après Jacques 2 :19. Mais les démons ne font pas confiance à Dieu parce qu’il n’y a plus une bonne et mutuelle relation entre eux et Lui.
En tant que chrétiens, on ne devrait pas seulement nous contenter de croire en Dieu mais on doit Lui faire confiance sans tenir compte des mauvaises circonstances. On devrait construire notre confiance sur ce qu’Il a déjà dit parce que s’Il a dit quelque chose, Il reste derrière Sa Parole pour l’exécuter (Jérémie 1 :12)
