JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His reliability.
In Jesus’ own words, God is reliable. He said in John 8:26, “He who sent me is reliable, and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”
The word of God is reliable for guiding us in the truth, and the grace of God is reliable for saving our souls. Just as we cross a bridge, it is common for us to trust it to support us. To an even greater degree, we can lean all our weight on God, knowing that He is our source of peace and security. He is our source of strength and salvation.
First John 4:16 says, “We know and rely on the love God has for us.”
God’s reliable words and love are reasons to trust in God for today and forever.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His perfect timing.
According to Romans 5:6, it was at the right time, when we were still powerless when Christ died for the ungodly. Let that statement sink in. He did not wait for us to get our act together to come to us. He came to us in the midst of our junk and filth and depravity. He came when we needed Him most.
Verse 8 says that God demonstrates his love for us in this: While we were still sinners Christ died for us.
If Jesus would have waited for us to shape up before coming to earth, He would have never come. But He did come, and that is because of His deep, deep love for us. He came to us so that we could be saved from our sins and enjoy a relationship with Him forever.
God’s timing may not be our timing, but He is never too early and He is never too late. He knows exactly when to intervene, and He will know when to come again for His treasured possession.
The perfect timing of the LORD is a reason to trust in God for today and forever.

Focus On God-His Ability To Repair Broken Relationships
john : October 5, 2017 5:19 pm : John Shirk, Staff PagesJOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His love to repair broken relationships.
God’s love brings together what sin has broken. His grace is stronger than our sin.
We see this in the Old Testament, when Joseph was reconciled to his brothers in Genesis 50. His brothers had sold him into slavery to Egypt. Through the course of time, Joseph rose to a prominent position of influence and his brothers were in need of food. They came to him for help. The love of God was so strong in Joseph that when he could have sought revenge, he instead offered forgiveness.
We also see the power of God’s love in the New Testament through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Our sin separates us from God, but His love is able to restore what we have broken. First Peter 3:18 says, “Christ suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” This happens when we accept His forgiveness, and say “yes” to His invitation to follow Him by faith.
God’s ability to repair broken relationships is a reason to trust in God for today and forever.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His excellence.
Philippians 4:8 tells us that if anything is excellent, to think about such things.
Excellence is the quality of being outstanding or extremely good.
The Bible describes God as excellent in a number of ways.
At Creation, God saw all that He made and called it very good.
When Jesus performed miracles, the people were overwhelmed with amazement. In Mark 7:37, they said, “He has done everything well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.
First Corinthians 12:31 describes God’s love as the most excellent way.
In the New King James Version, Isaiah 28 describes the LORD of hosts as wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. And Psalm 8:1 says, “How excellent is Your name in all the earth.”
The excellent qualities and works of God are reasons to trust in God for today and forever.
