We Have A God Whom We Can Trust

Simply trusting every day, trusting through a stormy way.
Even when my faith is small, trusting Jesus, that is all.
Trusting as the moments fly, trusting as the days go by,
Trusting Him what err behold, trusting Jesus, that is all.   -Unknown



Undoubtedly, there are many ways to define "trust." For our purposes today, let's lay it out as "a feeling of safety and/or comfort in relationship to another person." Another thing, is that trust is earned, not given; and is developed over time. Frankly, without trust, a relationship simply could not survive.

Think back to your Bible for a minute; specifically the book of Genesis. Remember Israel? They were called out of Egypt to follow the Lord by faith. But, they seemed to constantly question the power, the promises and the presence of God as they traveled along. If anyone ever needed a lesson in trust, they sure did!

They failed to see that when you put your trust in God, it will make a great difference in your life. Is this you? Are you too afraid, or lacking in faith, to place your trust in God? I mean, here was a people who called themselves by God's name. They should have trusted the Lord without reservation. Yet, they seemed totally oblivious to the power of God. And he was right alongside them all this time!

Simply look around you. Isn't that like so many of us today? Instead of trusting God and living by faith, we walk around sick with worry, and being distressed. I ask you, "Is this any way to go through life?" Of course not! Yet, so many of us live defeated and discouraged lives when there is no reason for it. Especially, when we have a God who we can trust without any doubt, or fear.

Therefore, I challenge you today to make up your mind to be like Thomas when Jesus challenged him to be, "Not faithless, but believing" (John 20:27).

Scripture: Proverbs 3:5; Romans 8:28; Psalm 37:4-6; Psalm 9:10;  Joshua 1:9

Prayer: Holy Father, thank you for today and every day you give me. Sometimes I am unsure of my path and I feel lost. I ask you to guide me today, for I am not sure what path I must take. Please help me make the right decisions, not only for myself, but my family as well. Amen

May your day be blessed!
