God is a Love God, and he requires trust, or “Faith.” That’s what Faith is. When you were a baby, naturally your parents took care of you because you were helpless without your parents. A new born baby Christian is like this, provided there is proper nurturing of the more mature around them. But that baby Christian has an advantage if it cleaves to God in its infancy stage, for God can get that baby Christian to the right places if it will cleave to the God of love. The same God that saved can keep if he is trusted. Now, as a natural child grows and develops the trust for his parents, “talking about everything being equal,” the child trusts that parent because the parent has always taken care of him, or her. There is a solid trust and because of this there is a solid love. So when we talk about love and trusting God, if that baby Christian doesn’t cleave to God as a natural child does it natural parents, trust will break up.
Our Father God has said that there was an enemy out to stop us, and if we would keep close to Him in fellowship, and obedience to His word, then nothing could harm us.
Our Faith or trust would be as the natural child’s toward his or her parents. Nothing in between, nothing to injure, because we stay in His arms through his word and fellowship. But there is GREAT MERCY.
If we have experienced great loss and tragic events, God is reaching out to us and showing us the way back into a secure place. Many years ago, I learned this lesson. God said to me, I will help you, I will build you back up, I will strengthen your mind, I will keep you. I will be with you in trouble, deliver and honor you. Once I was able to relax and trust him again, He has never ceased to fulfill those words in my life. God my Father is Gracious. He want to be gracious to you.
Dwelling in the secret place is a full commitment to diligence, let’s start again, let’s begin.
Psalms 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
