Trust God

Tuesday 10 March
READ: Pro. 3:5-10
MORE LESSON: Psa.121:1-2

As the year progresses, there have been a lot of instability in global affairs. The certainties of five to ten years ago have become uncertain. If anyone will make it in these unstable times then such a person must trust God as God does not have variables because He does not vary. However, men vary, so trusting in men can lead to several disappointments not because those men choose to fail but because man is fallible. Only God is worthy to be trusted absolutely, I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help comes from the Lord which made heaven and earth: Psa. 121:1-2. Trusting in the Lord is lifting your eyes to God in Heaven. It is refusing to rely on anything else but the Lord. It is making God one's refuge.

Trusting in the Lord is to put your case in God's court and absolutely wait for Him to settle the case, Although thou sayest thou shall not see Him, yet judgement is before Him: therefore trust thou in Him: Job 35:14. There are times it seems as if God is not there because He's not acting as you presume He should, but trust Him. And though there may be no strong wind or rain, your dry valley shall be filled with water. Trust God!

Characteristics of those who trust in the Lord include:
1.They absolutely depend on God, desperate for Him to answer knowing there is no alternative to God.
2. They focus on God alone.
3. They are persistent in asking.
4. They have great peace (Isa.26:3).
5. They are zealous for God.
6. They take risks at divine cost.

Check yourself, do you trust God? Remember that they that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed because it abideth forever: Ps.125:1.
In the midst of these shifting, changing times, if you will not be overtaken and swept away by the scourge of the wicked, trust God.
