Our new theme for 2011 is: 2011 Entrusted by Heaven. Of course it is vital we remember to trust in God, but many missionaries mentioned the trust we have been given to teach the Gospel. Online and in houses and on the streets. As I have thought about the trust God has in each of us I went to the scriptures to study about the Trust God has in us. In 1 Thessalonians 2 :4 it states, : As we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts." So it is through God we have been given this sacred and glorious Gospel. Why? Because he trusts us with it. Will we prove ourselves trustworthy? It goes on to say, " So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. For ye remember, brethern, our labour and travail; for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. Ye are witnesses, and God also how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory." We want to use Facebook and Blogs as a way to help people. We are laboring in all ways we can. We hope to help God bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. (Moses 1:37) We understand the trust God has put in us. We hope to continue to understand it, and to understand it even more.
I hope that we can keep the trust of God that he has in us. That we will walk uprightly before him. That we will share the gospel and share it through the ways we have been given and use it righteously. I hope and pray that we will Trust God, and remember that He Trusts Us.
Putting our trust in God can be hard, but sometimes realizing the amount of trust He has in us can be even more daunting. We are entrusted with this precious gift. It is our duty to not let Him down.
