trust

1.
reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.





I know you’ve heard the term before “trust God”. So what does that mean? Trust is sometimes difficult these days. It’s hard to trust people if you’ve been hurt or disappointed before. But God’s Word commands us to trust God:



Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding (do not rely on your own insight and understanding). In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.


I love this verse. It has stuck with me for many years. There have been many times when things have happened or were happening in my life that I did not understand or that I tried and tried to figure out but could not. That’s where this verse kicked in. As humans we are often limited on what we can see as far as the future. It makes understanding some things very hard. But God, he can see the past, the present and the future in one glance! He is not limited by time. He understands why certain things are happening even when we can’t.

This is where trust comes in. God’s Word also says:

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


It is during times of troubles and during times that we have many questions that can’t seem to be answered that we have to Trust that God is working out situations for our good! When I was 15 I could not understand why in the world my Mom was moving us from New York to Florida! It just did not make any sense to me. Fast forward 15 years and I have met awesome lifetime friends; I met and married my husband! And I love where I’m at! I could not have imagined what a positive change the move would have on my life.



When times are tough in your own life and answers elude you, turn to God. Trust in His Word.

He will never let you down.

God Bless,
