The one who trusts in the Lord and His Word completely will refuse to be shaken. As long as we are on this earth, trials and tribulations will be a norm. Hmmnn! Someone says, ‘I forbid that.’ Okay, but see what the Bible says, “I’ve told you all this so that trusting Me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world, you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” Read John 16:33 (MSG). Beloved, Jesus has been telling us things through His Word, and on the basis of what He has been saying, He counsels us to TRUST HIM, therefore, will we be trusting?
Scripture says, “For He alone is my safe place. His wrap-around presence always protects me as my champion defender. There’s no risk of failure with God! So why would I let worry paralyze me, even when troubles multiply around me?” Read Psalm 62:6 (TPT). I am saying when we trust God, we will be at rest, we will be still and know that He alone is God…” Read Psalm 46:10. God can be trusted. Here is a prayer from God’s Word for you and me, “Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith [TRUST] will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:7 (NLT)
Building the case for why we ought to trust God and His Word completely is and should be very easy for all of us because we see time and again God’s power on display; every single waking moment is a testament to God’s goodness. A question for us to consider, who will we rather trust? God or man? [insert your response]. Once we have been able to honestly respond; how does that play out in our day to day walk, relationship and interaction with God? Selah!
Lord, Jesus, thank You for Your faithfulness, loving-kindness, grace and mercy. You, O, Lord are good and Your mercy, they endure forever. Lord, Jesus, thank You for giving me Your Word – “A lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” My Father, I am grateful, thankful and in awe of You sir.
