Trusting the Lord II

Sunday 2 October
READ: Prov. 3: 5 - 6
MORE LESSON: Psa. 20: 7 - 8

The text says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight: Prov 3:5-6 (NIV). There is a God that can make your path straight and deliver you from all the crooked paths in destiny. There is a God who can rescue you from the crises that rule over the world. There is a God that can establish your feet and give you all the good of life to bountifully enjoy. He is only asking one thing from you; that you trust Him with all your heart. Trusting in the Lord will make you have access to all His treasure and will establish you, keep you from evil and level all mountains on your path.
God's requirement for access to His blessing is trust. He wants this trust to be done with all the heart. This is the admonition in the text of today, God is looking for people that will demonstrate such absolute and unwavering confidence in Him that He will be moved to act on their behalf. God is actually proud of people who trust in Him regardless of situations and boasts about them to all Heaven, earth and hell (Job 1: 8). If you can hold on to God without looking sideways or seeking anything from any man, He will move on your behalf.
There are signs that show when a man is truly trusting in God with all His heart. Such a man does not seek alternative to God. Whatever he commits to God, he waits for God to do it. Praying to God and still pulling carnal strings is not trust. Trust is trust when it is absolute. Secondly, a person who trusts in the Lord does not doubt for one second what God has promised him. When you trust in God with all your heart you have no business contemplating 'what if God fails?' for a second. When you trust, your heart is set like a flint on the Lord. Thirdly, a man who trusts in God with all his heart stays on God without ever making negative comments or expressions. His confessions are positive and consistent. He doesn't say "God will help me today" and tomorrow he says, " It is like this faith thing is not working.'' When a man trusts God, his confession is absolutely committed to declaring positively about the promises of God. Do not waver in your thought, imagination and speech. Don't let your confession contradict your confidence in the Lord. Your access to the Lord's blessing is in your unflinching trust in the Lord.

Prayer/Action
* No matter the situation and story, I will trust and wait on the Lord.
