Trusting in the Lord 1

Saturday 23 April
READ: Prov. 3:5-7
MORE LESSON: Heb. 11:6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil: Prov. 3:5-7. If there is ever a time that we need to put our trust in the Lord, it is now. The world has become more competitive and survival and sustenance is becoming more and more demanding. We need God now more than ever. To trust is to have confidence in the promise that is made, especially when fulfilment of the promise seems to be delayed.
Psa 125: 1 says, They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. Trusting in God is very rewarding. With trust in the Lord, a man is able to keep hope alive, sustain confidence and do the impossible. God is moved and excited when you display trust in Him. As it is written in Heb 11:6, And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. If faith honours God, trust brings down help from God. Trust is an advanced form of faith; it is continuing to believe even when you do not understand, knowing fully well that God knows what He is doing with your life and He will make everything work for your good. When a man trusts God, he is able to close his eyes to situations that seem contrary to the promises of God in his life. Despite apparent contradictions, he stands fast and puts his confidence in the Lord.
Trust in God gives Him the assurance that we are truly His and makes Him stand up on our behalf. Know that it doesn't matter whatever you are going through, there is a promise of God in the Scripture that you can hold on to and it is worthy of being believed and trusted. There are several promises of God concerning your situation; look for them, believe them and accept them. Know also that those that trust in the Lord shall not be put to shame no matter how long they wait. Keep your trust alive and your hope will bring forth the fruit. God bless you and have a rewarding day.
