Bible verses about trusting God in everything

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-27-26

by

Psalm 31:14 (LSB) 14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Yahweh, I say, “You are my God.”

Our walk with God is based on faith; we must believe that He is if we are to walk with Him (Hebrews 11:6).

But with faith comes something else that can sometimes be difficult for our flesh; trust.

We must trust God, with everything.

It’s easy to say that we trust Him with our eternal salvation; something we view as only relevant to our future, which always seems distant.

But trusting Him with our here and now can sometimes be a different story.

Why?

Because it is right now, in our face, affecting our present situations.

Case in point. I was out for a bike ride recently. I try to ride as often as possible to stay healthy, and to break away from being in a constant state of working. It is my escape, so to speak.

On this particular day, the temperature was high, in the low 90s (Fahrenheit). And the sun was beating down, so it felt even hotter. But I didn’t mind that. I just took it in stride and paced myself accordingly.

As I rode, I hit a pocket of air that was markedly warmer than the ambient temperature. It caught my attention and snapped me out of my lull.

And as I looked around at the surrounding scenery, I had a split second where I grasped again the fact that I was no longer in RI, where we lived for over 40 years, but in NC, where God told us to move to almost 5 years ago.

And as that happened, I said “God, what am I doing here?”.

The question was sincere, yet almost rhetorical.

And immediately I got my answer; “You’re trusting Me”.

That was it. No explanation. No expounding. Nothing additional.

You’re trusting Me.

You see, sometimes we think we need to know more. We think God owes us an explanation.

I didn’t expect an answer. I was just asking a question that came out suddenly. And it surprised me even as I whispered it.

But you see, God is faithful, in everything.

And He knows our hearts. So, He answered me.

He knew I wasn’t questioning Him in a way that was rebellious or angry. And I was not expressing doubt about what He had asked us to do.

But what He said taught me a huge lesson; that our purpose for moving to NC wasn’t grand or deep in the sense that he brought us here to build something new or magnificent.

He brought us here to teach us to trust Him.

And even as I write these words, that thought is overwhelming me, bringing tears to my eyes knowing that He wants to be so deeply involved in our lives that He would orchestrate this entire move just to teach us to trust Him more.

But that’s who He is. He will move in our lives as much as we allow Him to. He longs for us to love Him and trust Him in ways that our minds can’t comprehend. That’s the whole of it. He doesn’t need a grand project. He wants your trust.

And whatever journey He sets before you—big or small—take the step. Do it.

You will not regret it 🙏🏻

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-26

by

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

In my walk as a child of God, these two verses have become an anthem of sorts for my life.

We all encounter many things that we may not understand, including things about our walk with God. And those things can sometimes wreak havoc with our minds if we can’t understand or grasp them intellectually. Sometimes they just don’t make sense to our heads.

But God has taught me that this is all part of living our lives by His Spirit, not by fleshly, carnal means.

God operates outside the boundaries of human understanding. He is not limited by our ability to understand or comprehend what He shows us or tells us.

He will show us at times what He means. But that isn’t always the case. And we have to be OK with that.

Sometimes we simply must trust Him when we don’t understand.

He is God. We are not.

Will we spend our lives trying to tell God how things should be done so we can be comfortable and feel safe in our minds?

Or will we trust Him even when we can’t see it as He does?

We must choose. Let us choose wisely 🙏🏻

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-8-25

by

Psalm 119:114 (NKJV) 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.

As Israel’s king, David had many adversaries.

He was well-known for his strength and might as a warrior, and as a man of God.

God’s favor in his life was a fact that caused his enemies to hate him. They also feared him for that same reason.

But their fear was not enough to keep them from pursuing him or conspiring against him.

And David knew it.

So, what did he do?

He trusted God.

He prayed. And he expressed his fears and his dismay for the people who relentlessly tried to kill him.

It was such a situation that caused him to speak the words above, admitting that God was his hiding place; a safe place from the onslaught of violence and threats from those same enemies.

Now, if David, who constantly feared for his life, could trust God with his situation, what do we have to fear?

What is it that is causing us to fear? What is causing us to be in anguish? What is causing us to lose hope or to doubt God?

The threat of death is something we would usually consider the greatest threat we could ever face.

But David faced those same threats and trusted God with his life. If what we face is anything less than the threat of death, why would we not trust the very same God with it?

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-27-24

by

Psalm 13:5-6 (NKJV) 5 But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

The 13th Psalm is a prayer of David.

In his prayer, David sought God, asking how long it would be before He answered David’s requests.

He wondered how long his enemy would be exalted over him.

He wrestled with the sorrow in his heart.

And he cried out for God to hear him and enlighten his eyes, lest he sleep the sleep of death.

It is very easy to see that David was in tough shape, badly needing God’s intervention on his behalf.

But David didn’t sulk. He didn’t walk away from God. And he didn’t abandon his faith in God.

What did he do?

He rejoiced in his salvation.

He sang to the Lord.

And he expressed his absolute trust in God, stating that God had dealt with him bountifully (abundantly).

This is a great lesson for us all to learn; to trust in God no matter what we face, whether He answers us right away, or we have to wait in silence.

He is worthy of our trust.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-28-24

by

Luke 12:32 (NKJV) 32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Do you spend time worrying about the things that are happening in the world right now?

Does it bother us that evil is running unchecked, with no justice meted out to those who are the perpetrators of all we are seeing?

Do we wring our hands at the increase of wars and rumors of wars?

Are we angry with the chaos we see happening around the globe, wondering how this can all be happening?

Do we struggle with the fact that evil people are in charge in many places, and that their leadership only propagates evil further?

Do we fret over whether we will be able to afford the necessities of life as we watch prices of everyday items continue to rise?

Here are five words to allay your fears and concerns: Do not fear, little flock.

As Jesus spoke those words, He was speaking to His disciples about cares and worries.

He specifically told them not to worry about what they would wear or eat. For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

Food and clothing are the things we tend to worry about most. They are the staples of life.

But though they are staples, these are the very things Jesus told us not to fret about!

And here is what Jesus says in response to our worries.

Luke 12:31 (NKJV) 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

These things, the very things we worry about, will be given to us as we put God first and seek His kingdom.

Therefore, do not worry.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-29-24

by

Job 19:25 (NKJV) 25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;

Life can sometimes be difficult.

It can deal us some very harsh blows for which we have no explanation or understanding.

This may often cause us to question God, or to become angry that we are on the receiving end of such things.

But as we mature in our walk with God, we will find ourselves questioning Him less, and trusting Him more.

On a personal level, I have experienced this myself.

I have walked through seasons of extreme famine and financial hardship.

I watched my mother battle cancer and then die at the age of just 46 after being eaten away by the disease that claimed her life.

I have experienced betrayal at the hands of someone that I had taken under my wing and helped through some very tough situations.

And I have learned that this is just how life goes. We all deal with things such as this, and no one is exempt.

But as I have looked back on these things, I have been able to see God’s hand in each of them.

I have witnessed Him draw a wayward person back to Him within hours of them dying.

I have seen His hand of provision during times of dire need.

I have learned how to forgive when everything in my flesh wanted quite the opposite.

And I have seen His sovereignty as I have re-traced the steps of my years, seeing Him put puzzle pieces together in ways that man could never accomplish, to bring me to the exact place that I am in right now.

So, in all of this, I have learned, as Job did, that even during my worst calamity, my Redeemer lives.

He sets up kings, and He removes kings. He gives, and He takes away.

He walks me through my darkest hour, and He brings peace in the middle of the greatest storms.

And in that, despite facing great storms from time to time, I find my peace and my solace.

May you find yours in Him also.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-24-24

by

Lamentations 3:24 (NKJV) 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

Hope can be easily dashed to pieces if that hope is placed in people or circumstances.

Trust can be broken.

Dreams can be shattered.

This is to be expected if our hopes are in things in the natural world.

As dismal as that may sound, there is a hope that will never hurt us or let us down. That hope is found only in God.

His words are true. His promises are not broken.

As humans, we can sometimes easily lose sight of this when something happens that hurts us or disappoints us.

If we are not careful, we can be left reeling and grasping for something to hold onto.

When that happens, we need to remind ourselves that the things of this world are temporal, nonspiritual. They are not for eternity.

And though they may bring disappointments, those disappointments mean nothing if we look at them from an eternal perspective.

Remembering this can really help us to get past things that might otherwise crush us emotionally.

God is our true source of hope. It is in Him that we must place our faith and trust. And it is in Him that we will find solace and healing when the world shatters us.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-15-24

by

Job 19:25 (NKJV) 25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;

As Job lamented his condition, he expounded on a lengthy list of people who appeared to have abandoned him, stating that his close friends abhorred him.

Even young children despised him.

And as Job continued, he expressed further frustration that (in his opinion) God had “kindled His wrath” against him.

But if we read further, nestled deep in the middle of all of Job’s mournful words, we will find a gem that speaks truth that sustained him throughout his entire ordeal.

“I know that my redeemer lives.”

You see, despite the terrible things that had happened to him, Job still fully understood God’s sovereignty.

He refused to forsake the One who breathed life into his being, despite demanding “an audience” with Him to allow him to air his complaints and questions.

Job understood that God held his life in His hands. And as he further contemplated his situation, he began to understand that he was not without fault.

And in this he began to openly repent and show remorse for his attitude and the words he had spoken in frustration.

Job is an ideal example for each of us to follow.

No, he was not perfect in his response to calamity. He spoke words that he later regretted. He accused God of things that were untrue.

But he never abandoned his faith, openly repenting before God and his friends in the end.

Let us follow Job’s example, learning to trust God even as we walk through dark seasons that go beyond our understanding, holding fast to our faith in Him in all things.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-24

by

Numbers 22:28 (NKJV) 28 Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

God opened the mouth of a donkey. Wow!

The donkey spoke to Balaam and he heard the donkey.

This is so hard to comprehend. But it’s so like Him!

We can not put God in a box.

If we need to hear from Him, we must let Him speak. Trust what He is saying to us today.

Whether it’s through His word, or another person, it could come in a way we never thought of. In the case above He used a donkey.

Maybe you’re thinking, “well, I don’t know. I’m not used to God speaking directly to me. I’m used to doing things my own way. And what if He tells me to do something in a way I don’t want to do it? If so I’ll just wait and see if He changes His mind and lets me do it my way”.

If we feel that way, it very well could be why nothing is moving forward and we feel like our situation is getting worse.

Waiting to hear what we want to hear can cause us to miss what He is doing. We need to take the steps He has already told us to take and follow through with them.

God is a Father who wants the very best for us. He’s not just going to tell us to do this or do that.

No. He will make it fit and make it work according to His divine plan for us.

He does not want us to fail. He is for us and will do whatever needs to be done to help us.

Let today be our day of doing His will as He guides us and shows us the good and right way of doing things.

Even Jesus denied His own will when He said, not my will Father, but yours be done. 

Luke 22:42 (NKJV) 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-18-24

by

2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (NLT) 8 We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. 9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.

One of the things that stands out about these verses is the desperation that Paul expressed in his situation while in Asia.

He and his companions fully expected that they would not make it out alive; that they would die.

The most important aspect of this is what Paul said after this; as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God.

This is a massive truth that we all need to get embedded in us.

Desperate situations force us to rely on God and trust Him more.

Effortless living makes us soft and faithless. We have no need for God.

Times of trials and tribulations squeeze us.

Distress pushes us toward the One who is our source of rescue; our light in the darkness.

Oh, how we hate trials.

But what we learn from walking through those trials is invaluable.

And if someone with the spiritual stature of the Apostle Paul is willing to admit this, then we should take note!

Let us trust in God who delivers us. And let us cast our doubts aside.

He alone is our Hope.

Psalm 40:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-24

by

Mark 12:41-44 (NKJV) 41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans. 43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”

Over the years, I have realized that many Christians have it all wrong when it comes to their giving.

What do I mean by that?

I mean that many Christians who give regularly do so only “when they can afford it” but quickly stop when money gets scarce.

They give what they feel to be a “reasonable” amount until things get financially tight. Then, when things get a little tough, they forfeit their giving. They quit.

Rarely do people like this tithe. They feel that giving 10% of their income is too much to ask. And they may even say that tithing was an Old Testament thing related to The Law.

This line of thinking goes something like this; Money has gotten tight, so I can no longer afford to give to God.

And how do I know this?

Because I used to be one of those Christians. I would give each week, usually far less than what would be considered a tithe. And then if things got tough, I would stop giving. I would quit.

But if we look at the example above, with Jesus observing the people as they “put money into the treasury”, He never suggested that the poor widow should not tithe or give according to her income.

On the contrary, He noted that she gave more than the rest despite her poverty.

This flies in the face of thinking that we should give what we can afford, and then we stop giving if things get tough.

Many years ago, during one of the toughest times we faced financially, God spoke very clearly to us and told us that we needed to tithe, trusting Him with our finances and our situation at that time.

We had no idea how that would work out, since we were already not able to keep up with our bills.

But we obeyed. We trusted God and took Him at His word, and we began sowing 10% of our income each week, even though I was unemployed, and we were living on very little income.

We didn’t look at it as us making a sacrifice. We looked at it specifically as us obeying God.

You see, it was all His money anyway. We were just stewards who had been entrusted with managing what He had provided.

And as we stepped out in obedience, He began to show us how trustworthy He is.

No, hordes of money did not suddenly come rolling in. And no, our situation did not instantly go from bad to excellent.

But as we continued to trust Him and obey Him, He slowly worked things out.

Some bills that we owed were mysteriously marked as “paid in full” with no explanation as to how or why.

Putting Him first in our finances taught us how to be diligent and faithful with what He had provided for us.

And, over time, He pulled us out of the hole we had gotten into.

That was roughly 30 years ago. And we have never looked back.

No matter what has hit us, we have never stopped obeying God. He still comes first. We still obey Him.

And He continues to prove that He is faithful. He is still the same yesterday, today, and forever.

There is none like Him.

And we can attest to the fact that tithing is never about whether we can afford it or not.

It is about whether we trust God or not.

Put him first. Obey Him. You will never regret it.
