But we are like sheep our reactions are very simple- we get scared and freeze. It's so much wiser to stop and pray with praise.Karen Kyle Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519939237365240288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-44344103991930686982011-10-18T16:07:24.646-07:002011-10-18T16:07:24.646-07:00Ken, such truth in this one. My oldest son and I ...Ken, such truth in this one. My oldest son and I were just talking along these lines yesterday. About how we profess that we trust the Lord, and yet we often don't live our lives like we do.<br /><br />There is belief in the heart, and then there is acting it out. He and I said it was the difference between *talking the talk, and walking the walk*.<br /><br />Worry is a problem for me - and some are more prone to it than others, I believe. And yet, it is when my own understanding is confused, and my path isn't quite clear, that I MUST let the Lord be the Sentry to the gate of my heart. He must guard me with peace.<br /><br />Easier said than done, yes - but oh, how necessary. I pray for more of the power of the Holy Spirit to enable me to live the faith that I truly believe.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-32837202414590799722011-10-18T14:17:51.638-07:002011-10-18T14:17:51.638-07:00This is such a powerful post Ken; we read it and b...This is such a powerful post Ken; we read it and believe (in our hearts)that it is the truth, but do we live by it and express it daily to those we come in contact with? Our faith and trust is tested by what we say and do; we can never doubt His promise!<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603991529598754710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-79957252861388364932011-10-18T10:35:39.867-07:002011-10-18T10:35:39.867-07:00Hi Ken,

I did a post august 4th where I compared the disciple's unbelief of Jesus' promise to return and their subsequent living in fear to our same unbelief and fear.. not always remembering that He will return again! So I guess it's true trusting can be easier said than done for sure.<br />~God Bless You~Never Forsakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537083795724752514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-16587277244091128362011-10-18T10:16:58.349-07:002011-10-18T10:16:58.349-07:00Hi Ken,
Belief and faith, so hard sometimes. This ...Hi Ken,<br />Belief and faith, so hard sometimes. This past Sunday a young lady asked me to pray with her and after briefly explaining the situation, I told her that she needed to just trust in Jesus by taking the first step, knowing He will be there to guide and direct you. It hit me again, that my faith was lacking. Here I am giving advice yet it was also something that I needed a reminder about. <br />Even us, who are older in the faith need to remember to trust in Him. <br /><br />Jesus is coming soon. Will He find faith here? I hope so. This encourages and spurs me on into taking a running leap off of that cliff, trusting Him to be there for me with the next level.<br /><br />Blessings brother,<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-68043728618043561572011-10-18T09:28:57.707-07:002011-10-18T09:28:57.707-07:00Ken, I am reading through the Gospels right now, a...Ken, I am reading through the Gospels right now, and I've had the same thought. Jesus made it very clear to His disciples that He was going to be betrayed, beaten and killed. But He also said He would rise again and that they would see Him again. So why were they so confused and why did the doubt? But you're right - I could ask the same question of myself. God has made it all very clear in His Word. He promises to never leave me. Jesus said not to worry, but to seek Him first. So why I doubt? Great thoughts for today, Ken!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523429758131664355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-55119682974091855822011-10-18T07:41:20.947-07:002011-10-18T07:41:20.947-07:00Ken: You are so right.

We live like whatever we put our faith in. Today so many have faith in the world, and yet the world will fail them everytime, but Jesus never will. <br /><br />I am so glad you had a good vacation, and immersed in the Word as well! Thank you for the encouraging message....LoriLori Heydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800167686537384791noreply@blogger.com
