[0:00] We will find the subject of our meditation on this, the first product of our New Year, in the Book of Psalms, chapter 37. The chapter from which we are reading.
[0:14] Chapter 37 of the Book of Psalms, on verse 3. Trust in the world, and do good.
[0:31] Trust in the world, and do good. One of the dangers which a Christian has to guard again in his spiritual life is his fondancy.
[0:52] Look out into the world around us. And it would seem that there are men who live their lives inside a sort of cross.
[1:12] And these people appear to be getting on just as well and perhaps better than ourselves. Now this depression, which is a spiritual depression, experienced by any Christian or some kind of other in his experience, is no new thing in the history of the Church of God.
[1:48] We are taught to the Word of God, and there we find it. We find it. We find it even in the sounds between us.
[1:59] What are the sounds of David? We are very closer, that we have seen the wicked, great and strong, friends like a green baby.
[2:17] He felt very much worse. He was one who had experienced much Christianity, but he had agglomerated the sort of cross for his life.
[2:36] And even so strong a character as Elijah, just because he was threatened by an angry woman, threw himself under a jubilee tree, and requested that he might die.
[2:58] He was one who had a strong man. Now, as far as the Jew was concerned, every devout Jew taught the structure of the prosperity of the wicked.
[3:14] It was one of the uncharried mystery, and to be guilty of life. And of course, the problem was made more difficult for the Jews, because there was no revelation of a future state of reward and punishment.
[3:43] But we know that we are father-in-law, and we know that we are not ever in the world. Jesus Christ has made himself known, not only as the saving of men, but also as the one who died and rode again, and therefore gave to every Christian, and everlasting hope.
[4:12] So therefore, the future life, of the Christian, is no longer a grief. For we know that God will, in his own true sight, is not here, as any way afterwards, see that all things that are wrong, shall be righteous, and all injustices shall be in his breath.
[4:47] and all of us are not here. What we have in our text here, a double-seacher, and the order is right. The two must go together, faith and doing good.
[5:06] faith is that which prevents envy. And doing good drives envy away.
[5:20] So the exhortation from the word of God keeps one of us, is, faith is that which is the word of God, that is the word of God, that is the word of God.
[5:34] And then we have faith, half faith in God. truly, truly, we can trust the word.
[5:46] Our duty towards our God, is to put our whole trust in Him.
[5:59] not merely to trust Him, when life seems to be made in function, not merely when everything seemed to turn out successfully for us, but also in the cloud of arrival, for the sky is black with failure, and the darkened experience of sorrow, sorrow.
[6:41] We are to trust with the Lord in sunshine and in blue, in prosperity and irreversible, in darkness and in life.
[7:04] trust with the God. But when we have the faith in God, we as the psalmist tells us here, we wait patiently on the Lord, so that the Lord might go to us to weigh out of all our susceptibility.
[7:40] A great, great demand will remain upon our patience. Because we cannot do what we want at once.
[7:54] Or because of some obstacles put in our place, in our place, in the way of our Christian failure. So that we can become frustrated.
[8:10] And we can very often give up to inflation. And when this happens, we are not trusting in the mind.
[8:24] Let us be such angry as this. We sympathize with a servant in the Paragot, who wanted to pull out the pay of it right. We have to lose sight of the fact that evil has a place in this world. And there is some mysterious way of what to do.
[8:38] So we have need of patience. If we are truly trust in the world, in the world, we have to lose sight of the fact that evil has a place in this world. And there is some mysterious way of what to do. So we have need of patience.
[8:49] If we are truly trust in the world, if we are truly to exercise faith in the world, if we are truly to exercise faith in the world, if we are to succeed in our life, in our lives, and our lives, with a triumphant knowledge, with a triumphant knowledge, and our lives, and our lives, if we are truly to exercise faith in the world, if we are truly to exercise faith in the world, if we are to succeed in our acknowledgement of the world, and so go on, facing light with a triumphant knowledge, that comes what may, the world will see that everything shall work together for good to them that love the Lord.
[9:44] Trust in the world. Trust not in man, for man will always be.
[9:59] Trust not in man, trust in the world. Trust not in man, and we shall be assured that he shall work on all things for our eternal good.
[10:13] For we have need not only of patience, we have need of patience. but then the psalmist speaks here about doing good.
[10:30] But, not only are we to trust in God, but we have to do good, but we have to do good.
[10:42] We are nervous, we have to go out into the pathway of beauty, and do that which lies right to our hands, and do it with all our might.
[10:57] to our lives. Now this is exactly what God told Elijah to do. He said to Elijah, return on thy way.
[11:10] Trust in me as your God, and I will see that that which you will do for me, and for the glory of my name, will certainly succeed.
[11:29] Now what he was saying to Elijah, there is no use hiding under a Jupiter tree, and be mourning your failures.
[11:41] But rise up, trust in the world, and do good. Failures.
[11:55] Make our religion negative. Whereas we are to look upon the bright side, because we are thirsting in the body.
[12:16] Is it not true that many regard the religion as something is almost entirely negative.
[12:28] That we are apt to think that if we can't refrain from the gross forms of sin, we are doing all that can be expected of us.
[12:42] In other words, we are content. If we can go through life without, as we say, doing any harm.
[12:55] Friends, we have not been put into this world simply to do any harm, not to do any harm, but to do good.
[13:09] So we ask ourselves, is anyone in this world a little better for our having been here?
[13:25] How we put faith into exercise? By doing the will of the world.
[13:38] By doing good unto all men. Now it is very interesting to know that our Lord sung up all the commandments in a form no longer negative.
[13:54] but rather strictly of consciousness. Thou shalt bow the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength, with all thy might, and thy neighbor as thyself.
[14:20] nothing negative but that. If we trust in God and by His help, what then?
[14:35] If we, my friends, exercise faith in God and take God with us, and by the strength which He alone can give to us and the guidance which He alone can give to us, not then, we will leave results to God.
[15:12] God never asks from us anything in the nature of success. God wants faithfulness and obedience.
[15:26] He wants us to exercise faith in Him. He wants us to lean up for His almighty arm.
[15:39] Be ye faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life which fadeth not away.
[15:54] Be ye faithful. God doesn't say, be ye successful. Be ye faithful. Be ye faithful.
[16:13] In His mercy, the Lord out of us is asking of us something that is within our own God.
[16:26] Being faithful. Leaving results to God himself. that we should not, my friends, get into our thinking that God at any time with us has a taskmaster.
[16:51] all that He is demanding of us is that we do to others what He himself would have us do and will have us do.
[17:09] That is God's answer. You know my friend of God. There is nothing like success or something.
[17:23] Success appeals to us. But that is not what God wants.
[17:34] God wants to keep us keep us from that which is out.
[17:45] God looks at the path of life. He doesn't trouble himself about outward success.
[17:58] God's Christian heritage is the word of us. What do we have in view what is to be the end product?
[18:13] Is it to the glory of God? Or to our own glory of God?
[18:24] God fucks all our efforts. Though my friend our efforts may often be crowned with failure I would say again.
[18:44] that duty that duty faithfully performed is ours for the results are God's.
[18:59] the truth is my friend more full of comfort more stimulating than ever.
[19:13] But that's spoken of a poor simple woman woman at whom many pointed the finger of scorn.
[19:27] Remember the wealth of old God who left her alone that she has done what she could.
[19:38] it's not the amount it is the motive that woman of woman of whom was spoken that woman did all she did from her out of love.
[20:00] you and I do what we can under God and do it faithfully never mind the failures we can't believe the results of God and the hands of God rush to the God and do it.
[20:39] This is my message to you on this Sabbath morning. First to God what better can be expected of not trusting with God then my friends we will know that whatever may be will be in God's heart and and when everything is in the hands of God and we are trusting in that God of providence and victory He will not only meet our material needs but He will supply the riches of His grace and Christ for the satisfaction of our spiritual life.
[21:57] Friend my friends we trust in God and providence divine faith trust in God's gracious faith trust in His Son Jesus Christ as our Savior of the earth then our God will encourage us not only to honour the world by a walk, talk and conversation but we will seek the good of others we will seek to do good wherever we can wherever we can or wherever we can in so doing we shall follow the wonderful example of our Lord Jesus Christ of whom it is said that He went about doing good trust trust in the Lord trust in none other
[23:15] Christian trust in none other object trust only in the Lord in the Lord He will encourage us to do what will be for His Lord and for the good of us always remember that everything in the end in the end is for God's money so we leave everything in the hands of God remaining faithful and obedient to Him knowing that results are in the hands of God and He will work everything for His own good for His own good and for the good of all who must in the earth are faithful and faithful and faithful and faithful trust trust ye in the Lord for ever that in the Lord he is a very master of the Lord let us pray all the words we thank Thee for that faith which belongs to Thy believing people a faith in God which enables them to meet the changes of life in life and the circumstances in which they may be placed knowing if the faith may have faith in Him
[25:35] He shall see to us all shall bring one out to himself we pray O God that Thou may help us all as we go forward and as we go forward and to the unknown teacher trust in Him who will never fail us that we may be faithful kings obedient to His will seeing at all kinds His glory follow with Thy blessing and learn our meditation upon Thy life and guide us by Thy good Spirit arming all our ministry for Jesus' sake
[26:37] Amen
