“Trust1 in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord
himself, is the Rock eternal.” Isaiah 26:4
If we
have placed our faith in God, then the natural progression from that point is
to trust Him. From that point we must
place a firm reliance on Him, believing in our heart, soul, mind and spirit
that what the Bible says about God is absolutely true. Based on scripture, we can place our full
trust and reliance on our Heavenly Father for in scripture we find no evidence
that He has ever failed to do that which He has promised.
Many don’t know the deeper
things of God’s character because they don’t spend nearly enough time with
Him. I do not advocate burying oneself
in the Bible 24/7 as a means of knowing Him, but rather reading scripture as
often as you feel compelled to. If you
do not have such a compulsion that perhaps your wiring is faulty. If you married your boy or girl friend
without spending any time with them, you would know virtually nothing about
them. Why should it be any different
with God, because you can’t see Him? God
wants us to know Him as much as He can be known and that comes from
incorporating Him into each and every part of our life.
Trust God. Rely on Him to be your provider and sustainer
in this life. Allow your autonomous3
spirit to give way to the perfect will of God and you will find that not only
will your trust be rewarded, but also your life, which will be truly blessed in
spite of any circumstances you may encounter.
Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
