The Strength Of The Disciple. Part Two.

We shall consider another source of disciples strength in this lesson. This comes from a quiet , restful trust in the Lord.

According to Isaiah 5,15-18, the Bible says:

“For each Egyptian shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this. Their strength is to sit still. “

“For thus said the Lord God, the Holy one of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved: In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength : and ye would not.

But ye said no; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee.; and ,m we will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee; till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain.

And therefore will the Lord wait, that ye may be gracious unto you and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you; for the Lord is a God of judgement ; blessed are all that wait for Him”.

In quietness shall your strength be. Running around will not produce same result as quietness and restful trust in the Lord.

In Isaiah 40:28-30, the Bible says the young men will faint and utterly fail, but they that wait on the Lord will renew their strength. In Psalms 46:10, the Bible says,

“Be still , and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the hearten, I will be exalted in the earth”.

In Exodus 14:13-14, the Bible says,

“And Moses said unto the people, fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you , and ye shall hold your peace”.

God said to the Children of Israel, “Hold your peace”. so that they could see the works but He told them to march forward. If God says hold your peace or be still, He means that you should be still in your soul or your spirit.

When you move about let your mind be at rest. Instead of running helther skelter where there is trouble God is saying to the disciple that in whatever trouble you are facing, let there be peace in your heart.

In Psalms 125:1 , the Bible says “They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever”.

If we can trust in the Lord, we will be like Mount Zion that cannot be moved. Put your trust in the Lord . Don’t worry what the enemy can do. You will not be moved.

In Isaiah 26:4 : “Trust ye in the Lord forever, for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength”. When you trust in the Lord, it enables Him to reveal His everlasting strength.

In Psalms 32:10 “Man sorrows shall be to the wicked; be he that trusted in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about”. When you rest in Him, it causes him to surround you with His Mercy”.

In Psalms 20: 7-8, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horse4s; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright”.

Those who trust in horses and chariots will fall, but those who trust in God shall stand.

In Psalms 27:2-3 David said, “…Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall rise against me, in this I will be confident”.

If a host should surround him and want to destroy him, he said they will fall and will never rise again, because he trusts in the Lord .

In Psalms 112:7 , the Bible says if you trust in Lord or your heart is fixed in the

Lord, you will never be afraid of evil report.

In Habakkuk 3:17-19 , the Bible says “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines, the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments”.

If you don’t lose your salvation, whatever happens will always land at your feet. Habakkuk said no matter what happens , he will always trust in the Lord.

In Isaiah 12:1-3 , the Bible says : In that day, you will say I will praise thy name.

When a disciple learns to trust the Lord, then there is nothing more to do than to be praising the Lord and rejoicing in Him. People have asked why I am peaceful irrespective of what I am facing. My answer have always been, because I trust in the Lord.
