Trust: belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, and etc.

-Webster

Trust: is believing God even when things don’t make sense from your limited perspective.

-Robert Alan Collins

“Anything or anyone you put your trust in more than you trust God can become an idol.”

Learn to Say, “I trust You, Jesus” in response to whatever happens.

“Stop waiting for things to make sense and trust He knows what’s best.”

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ROMANS 15 : 13

1. You Can Trust God Because He is God – Since God created all things, knows all things, see all things and can do anything about everything… I think it is safe to say, “you can trust Him.” He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient. God is Eternal, Immutable, Immanent, Transcedent and Self Existent. He is God! I think you should be able to trust Him.(sarcasm intended) He is, He was, and He always will be. He said, “let there be light” and there was. He created everything out of nothing and He continues to do the same today… He is God and you can trust Him!

2. You Can Trust God Because He is Love – The word tells is that God is love. It tells us He is eternal and never changing. The word is eternal truth. Therefore, since God is love, His love never changes. His love is unconditional and never wavers. Matthew tells us, “if our earthly fathers know how to give good gifts, how much more does our Heavenly Father know how to bless us with good gifts?” Whether it is the blessings of good gifts or it is discipline, or correction, you can trust God knows what is best for you. His love will never give up, never fail or never run out. You can trust that!

3. You Can Trust God Because He Sees the End From the Beginning and the Beginning From the End – The Bible tells us that God declares the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. God goes out and starts with the end, where we start with the beginning. He then establishes our way and walks us through it by His grace and strength.He sees how it begins, and HE KNOWS HOW IT WILL END… you can trust Him!

4. You Can Trust God Because He Can See What You Can’t See – Perspective is everything. Sometimes from your vantage point life doesn’t make sense. You can’t always see how things will turn out. Now, for those of you who know me well, know that I am a NASCAR fan. Well, I have an analogy that I think will fit what I am talking about. In NASCAR the driver on the track has a limited view and a hindered perspective. However, he also has a spotter at the highest point above the track who can see everything all at once, as it is happening. The spotter see the wreck, the debris, and the spin-out, all before the driver does. He is able to help navigate the driver through the most difficult unseen circumstances, all because his perspective allows him to see the big picture. God sits high above all things. He can see what you can’t see, you can trust Him!

5. You Can Trust God Because He knows What You Don’t Know – There are some things you won’t know the answer to. There will be things you can’t explain. Nevertheless, God is NOT limited in any way. He knows all things. God doesn’t desire that you know all things, He desires that you trust. The word tell us that Jesus came to give us peace, not as the world gives but that only He can give. You can have peace that passes all understanding. Even when you don’t understand, you can have peace. Even when you don’t know, or you don’t understand, God does, and you can trust Him!

6. You Can Trust God Because He Can Do What You Can’t Do – No matter how strong or determined you are there will be situations where the strength of your capacity will be limited. I don’t believe you should set back and wait on God or anyone else for the matter, to do what you can do yourself. But, I also don’t believe you should exhaust yourself in doing that God desires to do for you, if you would just ask. There are many things you can do. There are however, some things you can’t do. God can do anything! Remember, “with God all things are possible.” Therefore, you can trust Him!

7. You Can Trust God Because He Always Knows What’s Best and You Don’t – There was a television show “back in the day” entitled, “Father Knows Best.” Now, I am a father, and a son, so I know from experience when it comes to earthly fathers this is not always the case. I also know my father knows better than me. We all learn through either our mentors or our mistakes. When Jesus was on the earth He said, “I only do and say what I hear my Father in heaven say to do.” Jesus is our example. If God wouldn’t say it, think it, or do it, you probably shouldn’t either. Your heavenly Father knows what is best, you can trust Him!

 

What or Who Do You Trust In?

“Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses. But we trust in the Lord our God.”
Psalm 20:7 NIRV

-David

You have a choice. You can Trust God or Take matters into your hands. David was known for several different things. He was know of course as a man after God’s own heart. He was also know for killing Goliath. (and of course there was Bathsheba). Anyway. David was a shepherd boy who had learned to trust God. He had been anointed king, while Saul was still reigning as king, and that was not heard of. Saul was angry and David’s popularity was gaining. That is, with everyone but Saul. David was a musician and so he knew when the crowd starts throwing things it’s time to leave. So he did. And while hiding out in a cave, Saul; the one who was throwing things trying to kill him decided to take a “potty break” so David snuck out, took his sword and cut the corner of Saul’s robe. He could have killed him but he didn’t. He could have taken matter into his own hands but he didn’t. He trusted the timing of God. David trusted God to deliver into his hands a lion and bear. He also trusted God when he faced Goliath. Every time you are faced with a situation you have a choice. You can take matters into your own hands or you can trust the timing of God. And the decision you make will tell the story of your life.
