Text: Proverbs 11:23-28
23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
Key Verse: “He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch” (Proverbs11:28).
Message
We place our trust in many things on a daily basis, like trusting a chair to hold us as we sit on it. However, many do not have confidence in God to keep them as seen in this illustration of sitting on a chair without fear that the chair may not hold us. The unregenerate find it easy to put their confidence in Man but would doubt the word of God. They fail to understand that it is only God who cannot fail because He does not change.

Where is your trust? In your parents, talents, or ability? All these are limited and can fail. You need to have a strong faith in God and in His word. Youths who have not given their lives to Christ cannot truly trust in God because Satan will always put doubts in their hearts. You need to be born again for God to input faith into your life as faith is one of the nine components of the fruit of the Spirit that indwells a believer at salvation. Christians are equipped with faith which moves mountains.
Quote: It is only God who cannot fail
Challenge: Trust in God in all situations.
Prayer for today: Father, help me to trust you at all times, in Jesus’ name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
