TRUST GOD
“Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!”
Psalm 40:4
Main Text: Main Text: Psalm 20:7
One of the easiest things to do is trust God, however, Satan has made it seem difficult to trust and obey the Lord and His Word. The most essential key to a life of victory is to take God at His word and the only way to do that is to trust in the Lord with all thine heart. Trusting God is simply believing that He loves you and knowing He’s good, He has the power to help you, and He wants to help you.
Christians are called believers, but many times, we are more like unbelieving believers. We trust our friends, the bank, the stock market or the government more than we trust God and His Word. In John 15:5, Jesus says that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We need to lean on Him for help with everything in our lives.
We have to habitually study the Word to really have confidence in God and know we can hear Him. As we spend time reading and meditating on Scripture, we develop a strong spirit. Then we can hear God speaking to our heart and make decisions based upon what He’s leading us to do, not just what we think, feel or want.
Confession:
I trust in the Lord and lean not in my own understanding, I have faith in God, and I take Him at His Word, by so doing, I am successful in Jesus name, Amen.
