Where is your trust?

“What must I do to inherit eternal life?” the rich man asked. (Matthew 10: 17-30)

Jesus was trying to give the rich man “a secret”- Follow me, trust me, let go of what you are trusting in. The man was trusting in his wealth (v24).

Jesus was not saying he should be poor. He, out of love (v 21) said sell everything and give to the poor, follow me (follow my lead).

                                           Place your trust in me and I will take care of you.

In verse 29 it goes on to say that anyone who gives up the things they are trusting in and follows me and the gospel will receive back, a hundred fold!! God wants our heart to be directed to Him. We are His agents on this earth to do His kingdom work.  The whole passage is about trusting Him and putting Him first; not being poor. Some people believe we should live in lack. But God sent Jesus so that we could have a life of abundance (John10: 10) and be blessed TO BE A BLESSING!

What are you trusting in more than God? 
Let it GO! Give it to God and He will give it back or something greater. That is how you enter into eternal life, by letting go and receiving all God has for you. It’s a free gift. Don ‘t miss it by holding onto something that could hinder your understanding and relationship with Him.

By giving away his wealth, the man would have removed the obstacle that kept him from trusting in Jesus.

God wants our heart; He wants us to put our complete trust in Him.

Where is your trust?
What are you trusting in more than God?


Prayer:
Father, I let go of: _________________________________________.
I choose to trust and depend on you.
