Learning To Trust Him
"Trust in the Lord....Fear the Lord....Honor the Lord" Proverbs 3:5-9
In order to receive the blessing of God, we must trust
Him. Trusting God is not some mere token
confession you make from time to time.
Trusting God must be complete, total, daily reliance upon the promises
of God. Every day you will face the
choice of relying upon your own understanding or trusting Him.
You and I must choose to trust God. When you come to those places in life where
the line is drawn and the question is “Can I trust God?” your answer determines
whether you grow beautifully or shrivel spiritually. The issue is, “Which am I going to
choose?” When God told Noah to build the
ark, it had never rained. Noah chose to
trust God. Abraham left everything
behind because he chose to trust God.
Joshua was faced with a decision, and he said, “Choose today whom you
will serve…but as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” Do you have this kind of trust in the Lord?
You can prove your trust in Him. Trusting Him is real when you acknowledge
Him, when you depart from evil, and when you honor the Lord with your time,
talent, and treasures.
Prayer Focus: Claim the
following Scripture today and personalize it for Fred Wes and for
yourself: Hebrews 10:35-39, “Do not let this happy trust in the Lord die
away, no matter what happens. Remember
your reward! You need to keep on
patiently doing God’s will if you want Him to do for you all that He has
promised. His coming will not be delayed
much longer. And those whose faith has
made them good in God’s sight must live by faith, trusting Him in
everything. Otherwise, if they shrink
back, God will have no pleasure in them.
But we have never turned our backs on God and sealed our fate. No, our faith in Him assures our soul’s
salvation.”
