“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
I want to present you with a challenge- Carry our well worn verses with you this coming week. Write them down or put them on your phone. What ever it takes to have them on you.
Now-Let’s prepare ourselves for the challenge: let's define the word Trust- assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone. With that in place, I want us to consider how God’s word describes Him using the definition we’ve been given for our word trust.
Character- “The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works” – Psalm 145:17
Ability- “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” –Hebrews 11:3 The ability of God to create something out of nothing is a remarkable truth.
Strength- Exodus 14:13-21 teaches us that God parted the Red sea.
Truth- “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.”-Deuteronomy 32:4
Take time to go over these truths about God from these few scriptures from above and let them sink in deep. We must run deeper than the surface if we want to swim in the depths of who God really is according to His Word. Ask yourself, “How can I not trust in the Lord with all of my heart, knowing who He is according to His Word?” And why would I lean upon my own understanding knowing what God’s Word says about Him. We live in a fast paced world that has the ability to run us over “IF” we allow it. Set some time alone this week to ask yourself, “Who am I trusting in for the totality of my life?” I Pray that God does a mighty work in your heart as you come to Him in a season of self-examination!
