LGAM March-April 2019 Newsletter
From the Desk of Brother TomLet God Arise Ministries Inc. “Ministering God’s Love in the County & City Jails” E-mail: LGAM3@knology.net Website: www. letgodarise.org Thomas M Bridges, Chaplain “Let God Arise and let His enemies be scattered”......Psalm 68:1
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV "Celebrating 26+ years of service to Jesus Christ since September 1992".
In God We Trust is stamped on every coin and paper currency in the United States of America. Only the Republic of Nicaragua adopts, En Dios Confiamos, as their currency logo. Trust is defined as an assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something. As believers we are commanded to place our complete trust in God alone. We are also commanded not to try and figure God’s plans out for our lives with our own understanding. This requires absolute faith in someone who has their complete best interest for our life. We are also encouraged to place our trust in Him in every area of our lives and to acknowledge His presence on this journey from start to finish. God will guide us and lead us to where we need to be at the right time and place. Trust God for health, marriage, children, provisions, ministry, food, clothing and everything else. In other words our hearts should be completely Christ-Centered and not Self-Centered. In chapel service we quote this scripture often. During service I said to the inmates stand on God’s promise in Proverbs 3:5-6 and then turned to Brother Jim. Brother Jim knows this scripture by heart. Brother Jim recites Proverbs 3:5-6 word for word. One of the inmates responds that is my favorite verse and raised his arm up and sure enough tattooed under his arm close to his heart in bold blue script he had Proverbs 3:5-6. There are days when it seems like the Lord wants us to be reminded of His word and certain words just seem to light up or better yet come alive. After chapel services ended I suggested to Jim a new fast food restaurant to have lunch called “Cookout”. We thought we could go inside but discovered “Cookout” is take out only. So we ordered our food and decided to go to his house to eat lunch with his wife. On our way to his house Jim said, “Tom look here” and written on the take out bag from “Cookout” was the scripture Proverbs 3:5-6. We both chuckled and continued on our journey. I got home and went to my office. On my desk I have a set of personalized scriptures I received as a Christmas gift from a Brother in Christ ”Lit” who is in heaven with Jesus now. Randomly choosing the scripture for this day it reads, Trust in me with all your heart, Tom, and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Me, and I will make your paths straight. What a blessings when God confirms His word to us in personal ways. Jesus personalize your words upon our hearts so that our walk with you may be a blessing to others. Hit it Bruce!
