Trust and Believe

Who do you trust? Do you believe? What do you believe?

Trust and believe need definitions, so I will give you some.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines 'Trust' as:
1
a : assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something

My personal definition finds that both of these words should be based on evidence and must be earned and not given blindly.

Isaac son of Abraham is a great demonstration of Trust, in that at the binding, he did not fight back but appears to trust both GOD and his father Abraham, that everything will be FINE.

Isaac is, in appearance, simply -- "Simple". I believe that he has a bad reputation, as he is demonstrating a trust in GOD. The kind of kind of trust that all of us should have. As evidence that this is what GOD is looking for, Isaac is never tested in TRUST as was both Abraham and Jacob were tested. Although they were not tested in the same ways, and neither are we tested in exactly the same ways. Abraham was actually tested the most because he did not understand that he needed to trust GOD and of course he is the first to set out on the path.

Moses is another model of Trust and Belief, for in all of the story concerning Moses only once does GOD say of him Numbers 20: . . . 'Because ye believed not in Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.'

That was the one time. And, it should be noted that after the burning bush, GOD defends Moses, Moses defends the people. This one says that Moses has proof that he should trust and believe GOD.

So why all of the talk about Trust and Believe?

Because, We don't Trust or Believe the GOD that created the heavens and the earth and we are told over and over that we are responsible for our own soul and we have been given signs and wonders so that we can Know GOD.


So you say "I am a Jew, and all will be forgiven", I remind you that the Servant of HASH'M, Jacob, The House of Israel, these are the Chosen of ADON' and the prophesy that the Nation is redeemed, BUT BEWARE the causes whereby "that soul shall be cut off from his people" or "that soul shall be cut off from his people" this can be caused by Profaning that which is Holy to GOD; Doing that which is abhorrent; Working on the Sabbath; seeking ghost and spirits; eating any leavening during the Feast of Unleavened Bread; Profaning/defiling that which is Holy unto the LORD; Not Circumsized.


If you think that you can just say, 'I never heard any of this, so I don't need to worry about a GOD I never followed, this is for you:

Isaiah 27:11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them, and He that formed them will not be gracious unto them. ((Lack of wit or understanding/knowledge will get you treated as an animal, not as a human with a soul. No regard for you by GOD, better seek to know and understand than to be ZERO.))


So what are we to do?

Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deuteronomy 11:1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His ordinances, and His commandments, alway.
Deuteronomy 30:6 . . . .to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. . . .
Deuteronomy 30:8 . . . .hearken to the voice of the LORD, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day

Isaiah 56: 6 Also the aliens, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant: 7 Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon Mine altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.;

Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die. 5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6 and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity; 7 and hath not wronged any, but hath restored his pledge for a debt, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 8 he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man, 9 hath walked in My statutes, and hath kept Mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

There are many many more but in the end: Malachi 3:22 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

Trust and Believe the CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, GOD OF OUR FATHERS, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, follow HIS LAWS AND TEACHINGS even when all around you fail. Why? If not for your soul, then maybe GOD will repeat Jeremiah 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her. --said to Jeremiah. You will be the ONE. At the very least you save your soul and those that watch you my save their souls because of you.

If you seek HIM, HE will not hide from you.

Isaiah 51:1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens, He is God; that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else.19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob: 'Seek ye Me in vain'; I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

Isaiah 45:22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near; 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have compassion upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

Look around, is there any that you should trust? Only one is steadfast and strong. Seek the truth.
