Tag: Bible verses about trusting God in everything

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-29-23

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.

Learning not to lean on our own understanding is a big deal.

As we are growing up, we learn lots of things.

We go to school, and we are taught how to figure things out. We learn how to calculate things. We learn how to understand certain things. We learn how to think for ourselves and solve problems.

It all revolves around human intellect and human understanding. And this is good. We all need to learn these kinds of things.

But this should not be the end of our learning.

There is another kind of learning that is even more important.

It is learning to trust God in everything that comes our way, even when we might not understand things.

We may not understand why certain things happen. We may not understand the timing of things that happen. And we might not understand how to navigate those things that happen in the proper way.

This is where our trust in God comes in.

We need to learn to trust Him when nothing makes sense.

And we even need to trust Him when what He is showing us doesn’t make sense.

Why?

Because His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

This is a lesson that He has taught me repeatedly throughout my walk with Him.

And how do we learn this? How do we walk this out?

By putting Him first in everything we do and giving Him precedence even in our thoughts.

As we do this, we will see Him move in our lives, and our faith in Him will grow exponentially.

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-23

Psalm 20:7 (NKJV) 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

In this topsy turvy world that we live in, I have been shown over and over again that my trust needs to lie solely in God.

Humans are fickle, and they can let us down at any moment.

Organizations, which are owned and run by humans, will also let us down.

Even churches will let us down. Why? Because they are run by humans.

And humans will disappoint us.

This doesn’t mean that we can never trust anyone. It simply means that man will eventually let us down in one way or another.

Human nature is unpredictable, constantly changing. We all fail in one way or another on a regular basis. This is just a fact of life.

Sometimes we may find ourselves putting too much trust in people or organizations, and not enough trust in God.

Psalm 146:3 (NKJV) 3 Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

Disappointment comes when we place too much trust in man or manmade entities.

We need to understand that only God will never betray our trust.

2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV) 31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

As for man, trusting people is something that we must do as part of life. It’s something that we can’t avoid.

But we need to do it knowing that man is not infallible; imperfect. This will help prevent us from being hurt so badly when someone disappoints us.

So, to summarize? Trust God. He is our shield.

2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV) 31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-22

Romans 4:20-21 (NKJV) 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

Sometimes God requires us to do hard things.

Sometimes those things seem downright impossible. But that’s because we look at them through human eyes, analyzing them by human standards.

Serving God fully requires that we change that, learning to look at things through God’s eyes, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Abraham had to do this. He had to look beyond his age and Sarah’s dead womb to believe that God’s promise of a son would be fulfilled.

God is the God of the impossible. He is miraculous in His nature. He does what man says can’t be done in ways that man could never even conceive in his finite mind.

This is something that we all need to remember and hold close to our hearts.

It’s something that we need to be reminded of every now and then, so we don’t lose hope and let our faith in Him falter and grow dim.

On the contrary, as we face challenges and impossible situations, our faith needs to grow stronger, not become weak and impotent.

Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born. Sarah had not been able to conceive or bear a single child her entire life.

Despite this seemingly impossible situation, God made good on His promise. And Isaac was born.

This is our God; the God who makes the impossible more than possible by His mighty hand.

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-22

Job 42:10 (NKJV) 10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Job had been through quite an ordeal.

He had lost his family, his possessions and his health. And to top it off, his wife and friends were giving him very bad advice.

Job had spent a fair amount of time speaking words about God that were not favorable. He demanded an audience with God so he could question God on some things that were bothering him.

Some of those things included questioning God about the way He handles injustice, and the evil that he had seen play out over his years.

Ultimately, God had come to Job and corrected Job’s incorrect assumptions and ideas. And Job repented.

God also scolded Job’s friends for their foolish words and horrible advice for Job.

Here is a key thing we can learn from what transpired.

God told Job’s friend, Eliphaz, that he and his other friends had aroused God’s wrath against them because they had spoken incorrectly about Him. And then He told them to make a very specific sacrifice and let Job pray for them, “lest I deal with you according to your folly”.

Eliphaz and his friends obeyed God, as did Job, who then prayed for his friends and saved them from God’s wrath.

Because of Job’s repentant heart, and his obedience to God, God restored what Job had lost, and increased it.

And while some may focus on the fact that Job’s possessions were doubled, that’s not truly what’s important.

What is important is that Job repented and obeyed God. And it was this that caused God to restore Job’s losses.

Finally, it’s interesting to note that the words used in the original text actually said that God “turned the captivity of Job”, meaning that God released Job from the captivity of his situation. And then He restored his fortunes.

The key takeaway from all of this?

Stay humble. Repent. Trust in God’s sovereignty.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-22

Psalm 19:14 (NKJV) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

I truly enjoy reading and studying God’s word. With each bit of new understanding I gain, I am drawn closer and closer to Him.

I have learned that the deeper mysteries of the word really draw me in and help me mature as a believer.

But sometimes I like to reflect and meditate on some of the most foundational truths. They help shore up my faith and keep me grounded.

This scripture is one of those.

Specifically, those last five words really sum up who God is to me; “my strength and my Redeemer”.

And I especially like the Hebrew word for strength literally means “rock”.

That is what God is. He is my Rock.

He is who I cling to every minute of every day.

Why?

Because He is the only One who can be counted on day after day to be stable and unchanging.

In Him there is no variation or shadow of turning (James 1:17).

What exactly does that mean?

It means that, unlike everything else about the earth and the rest of creation, He never changes. He doesn’t move. He is fixed (stationary), so to speak, so there is never any danger of Him not being there or suddenly changing.

He is the one constant in each and every one of our lives.

Cling to Him. Draw near to Him. Trust Him with every fiber of your being.

He will never, ever fail us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-22

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.

We are in unknown territory. We don’t know what to expect. Phew… it’s challenging. It is causing us to trust God in a whole new way.

As you may know, we recently moved. And it was a big move!

Most of our old routines are gone. We are starting from scratch, you could say.

Even where I would pray in the morning has changed.

Everything we were so used to is gone. Nothing is in its usual place, if you know what we mean.

It’s not anything that any one person can help with. It hits everyone differently. But one thing we have in common is that change is change!

If it is change that God has brought, we either go with it or we stop moving forward.

God will bring change to us in different ways at different times. Some changes aren’t that hard and we enjoy them. We welcome then with open arms.

Some are changes that will cause us to feel like we cannot do it. Those changes will make us or break us. We will either go the full distances or faint on the way.

But, on this journey I have learned not to faint or be ashamed if you feel you can’t do it on your own, because those are the moments we make a very difficult choice; a choice to let go of what we know and lean on Him.

He will give us things at times that are impossible for us in our human strength to do or to bear.

But He does not want us to do it on our own. In fact, we can’t do it on our own.

What are you doing today that requires you to have God’s strength, wisdom, and joy to fulfill His plan in your life?

Don’t get down on yourself because you don’t have what it takes. Reach out for His hand. He planned it, He has the answers.

Isaiah 40:28 (NKJV) 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-21

Isaiah 31:1 (NKJV) 1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the Lord!

People put their trust in many things.

And as we watch the world deteriorate before our very eyes, we see people moving further and further away from trusting God and putting their trust more heavily in man and governments.

While this is extremely frustrating to watch, it is to be expected to some degree because of the season in which we live.

God’s word has told us that this would happen. He spells it out plainly in many ways.

But know this; putting our trust in anyone other than God himself is a slippery slope that will ultimately lead to destruction.

The season in which we are living requires that we have discernment, and that we are diligent in our efforts to stay in tune with His spirit.

Doing so gives us an inside edge to see things that others may not see, and to make choices and decisions based not on intellect, but on God-given wisdom and understanding.

God comes first in all things. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.

There is none like Him on the earth below or in the heavens above.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-8-21

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) 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.

Sometimes God’s plans can be scary when we see them beginning to play out in our lives.

Our carnal minds can’t comprehend what’s happening. We may even question God and what He’s doing.

As children of God, we often seek Him and ask Him to guide us. But when He does, we don’t always recognize it. Especially at the onset.

Because it’s something new, we deem it as foreign. And if we’re not careful, we may even attribute it to the enemy, thinking that it’s bad for us.

But this is where our faith in God comes in. We have to test what we’re seeing and hearing, and then trust Him, allowing the Holy Spirit to show us what’s truly happening.

And we have to remember that God knows better than we do when it comes to guiding our steps and providing for us.

So, when we see things happening that seem out of the ordinary, or a bit scary because they’re unfamiliar, we need to let Him be God and do what He does best.

Remember; His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-2-21

Daniel 3:29 (NKJV)  29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”

God revealed Himself to king Nebuchadnezzer by delivering these three men, Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, after they had been thrown into a fiery furnace.

They came out with not even a hair singed on any of them. And they did not even smell like smoke!

This made a big impression on the king. He and many others saw God move that day.

What an amazing moment! I love how the King asked, “didn’t we put three men in the furnace? But, I see four, and the fourth is like the Son of God”.

Daniel 3:25 (NKJV) 25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

I would have been shouting at that moment! Woohoo!!

Why did God deliver them? Because they trusted Him. Because they were loyal to Him, and because they would not bow and worship a statue. They stood their ground.

Let us ponder on this today and ask ourselves; would we have been willing to stand up for what we believe, knowing that if we did, we may suffer severe consequences?

It’s hard to imagine that someday we may face such decisions. But know that if that day ever comes, like it did for Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, God is our deliverer.

Be brave and don’t cave in. He will be there with us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-30-21

Hebrews 13:6 (NKJV) 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

I love God with all my heart. And I don’t say that lightly.

Every day that goes by proves to me more and more that He is our one true source of hope.

No matter what I see happening, whether on a personal level or on a global scale, God is my Helper. And because He is my helper, I will not fear the things that I see.

Life can be scary for those who are apart from God. And I will admit that even with God, it can be pretty challenging sometimes, causing us to shrink back on occasion as unexpected things confront us.

But God never shrinks back. And because He dwells within us, we shouldn’t shrink back either.

Sometimes that’s easier said than done, but there is a reality in that statement that we, as believers, need to embrace boldly in our lives.

That still might not always make it easy for us, but it should give us courage to stand when we need to stand, fight when we need to fight and look not to our own intellect for answers, but to the Spirit of God, whom Jesus called our Helper.

And, as we are told in Romans, if God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

So, when we face the hard things, we need to stand strong in our faith, and look to Jesus, the author and finisher of that faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Trust Him.
