Psalm 37:3-5 (NKJV) 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
From the very first page of Genesis, to the very last word of Revelation, there is one theme that stands out very clearly; trust God.
Our lives are nothing more than a never-ending series of scenes played out and a host of seasons that we walk through.
Those seasons bring many things. One of those things is change.
Seasons never last. They come. Then they go.
As part of walking through those various seasons, we encounter things that we are unfamiliar with and probably uncomfortable with.
How we react to those unfamiliar things will be based on a few different factors.
One of those factors is our personality type. Another factor is our willingness to learn and grow as a person, but more importantly as a follower of Christ.
The most important factor is how strongly we trust God.
This is a big deal because our trust in God is something that will impact every aspect of our lives.
Trusting God isn’t something that just happens. It isn’t something we get by having someone lay hands on us and pray for it to happen.
We learn to trust God as we walk through life and experience His faithfulness. And even then, we must be willing to submit to His will and obey Him in everything.
As we learn to obey Him, we will begin taking small steps of faith in obedience. And as we do this, we begin to see Him move on our behalf.
These small steps, and the evidence of Him moving in our lives, will lead us to trust Him more. This leads to us being willing to take bigger steps. And the snowball, so to speak, grows as it rolls further.
And before we know it, we can look back and see how God led us, and how we trusted Him to do so without even giving it any thought.
It soon becomes a way of life that we just walk in.
We will never be perfect in this. We will fail. We will never get it right 100% of the time.
But we learn, grow and keep being willing to learn more. And in this, we develop a trust in Him that we never thought was possible.
Go now. Do Good, dwell in the land, feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself in Him, commit your way to Him. Learn to trust in Him.
Amen
