                         (Misplaced trust)
             
 Hopelessness is the result of trusting in man.              
The Lord say's......Cursed is the man who trust in man and makes flesh Hopelessness strength,
whose heart  departs from the Lord.  Jeremiah  17:5-8.
He also said, {Blessed  is the man who trust in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord'. 
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which  spreads out it's roots by the
river, and will not fear when heat comes, his leaf will be green.
One was leads to death and hopelessness , the other to life and hope in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Christians enjoy constant peace and joy in the Lord, while others grope in despair.  i
The person who departs from God and leans only on man and the world  is utterly
detestable to Him. if we come apart when someone lets us down, or if it affects our walk 
with God, then we know that our trust is in man, 
Christians who  put their  trust in man in order to  provide  safety for themselves
are guaranteed to get hurt. When you turn from God, then the supply of happiness is gone.
Many  Christians  today lose hope, turning inward instead of running to God,  But God is saying to His people, you are in despair because you did not trust Me, You turn to others and you have cursed yourself by not coming to Me. You are dry and empty because you do not draw water from My well.  This is so true, when we were young Christians we trusted God for everything, one of the children got sick and had a high fever we got down by their bed and prayed until their fever cooled, we didn't just say a little prayer and get up, we prayed, these days people come to see the sick they just mumble a little prayer and go.  We  need to mean busuness with God. Let Him know that you are  going to trust Him and mean it. God knows your heart and if you are sincere with Him. Don't get me wrong, Doctors are good and are for us if someone   doubts and we need Doctors, God gave them the knowledge to help us. and they have helped me through the years   and God has healed me and my family many times.  I was healed of lung cancer 7 years ago, and I praise God for that, I had the church bemind me, even the hospital room was full of them praying until the  Surgeon came in and said it is not cancer, when the pet scan said it was and it was growing  fast. We serve a great God, still some of us suffer when  we don't have too. people are falling away from God when they should be running to Him as we see the signs of the times   every where. Well I can't find a stopping place. but I have to go, will be more tomorrow.

Amen.   Everything is God's Will.  Times with be tough, no doubt about that.   I know, God test.  And yes, it does hurts.   Thank you, Sister Esther.   Amen

Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord.  For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited.  “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.


Jeremiah 17
