Worthy of Our Trust

Our trust in God is worthy and reliably certain. Trust in anything else is being tossed about on the waves of the sea. Where have you put your trust?

November’s Awakening, Day 23

Trusting God means thinking and acting according to God's word in spite of circumstances, feelings, or consequences. 

 —Warren Wiersbe, “The 20 Essential Qualities of an Authentic Christian”

Teach yourself to thankfully receive all that God gives you as evidence of His love and faithfulness, and then you’ll find it easier to trust Him next time.

 —Henry Blackaby and Richard Blackaby, “Being Still with God Every Day”

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5–6 NIV

            We must never forget that God is truly worthy of our trust, unlike the uncertain trust we place on humanity and the tossing waves of the world. God is unchanging, righteous, and true and that is always His nature—He can be nothing else. Therefore, we can come to Him in complete surrender just because of who He is. And because of who He is, His Word and promises are equally true and reliable. We will be tossed about on the waves of circumstances and emotions and so too the world, but not so with God. It is we who are fickle in our allegiances and commitments and ultimately our trust. We need to know deep in our hearts who He is in all the fullness of His character and trust that no matter what, He responds to us in love and righteousness and faithfulness. There is nothing else in this world that you can trust any more wholeheartedly than God and His Word.
