TRUST

“Trust our lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.” 1 Peter 4:19

To those who follow Jesus, those who have been saved by his shed blood, and desire to follow him, know that the meaning of trusting in God, is a firm, confident reliance on His character, his promises, and his power. It is this trust that allows us to replace the worldly way of depending upon ourselves and others to get us through our troubles and problems. However, even as Christians, we find ourselves having troubles in the area of trust. We have been taught since childhood to trust things that we can see and touch. Our earthly lives depend upon our senses to help us to live our lives. But when we begin to live in the unknown, (the spiritual world), our earthly senses continue to be valuable for our lives in the earthly realm, but we now begin our journey of trusting in what we cannot see. As we read his Holy Word, meditate upon it and pray, we see the many promises he has given us. According to 1 Peter 4:19 God never has, nor will he ever fail on a promise. We must never allow doubt, worry or fear to steal away our faith and trust in the God who created us. We must continue to be active in prayer, praising his glorious existence, and praising him for the gift of his Holy Word. We are not to just read the words of the bible, as we read a book. Instead, we are to put our trust and faith into action. We are to prayerfully read his word, asking for understanding and wisdom. We must take the first step of faith and then he will hold up those promises so that we can grasp onto them. We must continue to build and strengthen our faith and trust in God in heaven. Jesus is our key. We will never be disappointed. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
