It’s All about Trust

By: Fred Reid

I KNOW we are supposed to avoid popular scriptures but I’ve recently seen this one in a new light so I figured I’d share. Anybody that knows me knows that I don’t really trust people and the ones I do trust it takes like FOREVER for me to finally trust them, however trust is SUCH a liberating and constructive aspect of a relationship. I feel so much more at ease when I don’t have to second guess someone’s actions or intentions and I know that the people I’m dealing with have my best interest in mind and will do what they can to support me. How much more should this be an aspect of our relationship with the Father?

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with ALL THINE HEART and lean not unto thine own understanding IN ALL thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths”

THAT IS THE KEY TO LIFE!!! I’ll try to keep it short but I’m excited!!!

1.)   TRUST in the Lord with all your heart, and if that isn’t clear enough for you it goes a step further and tells you NOT to trust what you understand about stuff. So basically whatever happens trust that the Lord has your best interest in mind. And even beyond intentions, He will make something good out of the situation, and even better than what you are expecting.

2.)   IN EVERYTHING YOU DO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD! In a step by step basis you should: ask/consult God on matters/decisions BEFORE you decide, give God credit for ANY successes that you have. Anything that you feel you can not bring before God is clearly something that you dare not be invested in!

3.)   These kind of declarations from heaven rarely every end without a promise. The Father promises that He will direct our paths IF we trust and acknowledge Him. What is it like to have your life directed by God? Well He is the source of all life, at His right hand there are pleasures EVERMORE and His blessings add wealth and make no sorrow. Ssssooo basically it sounds like a good deal to me.

See that wasn’t so long was it? Trust the Lord friends! Trust Him with every new item and opportunity you have, every failure and loss that you experience and ultimately your life! And he will make the best of it! There’s examples all up and through the bible. As a maturing Christian (oohh that sounds nice lol) I’m realizing one of the hardest things to is trust God on a greater scale. To really just blindly walk in His will by completely turning your will over. BUT the good part is if you really trust Him, He’ll trust you enough to share the plan with you. He already trust you with the very essence of His being, His word.

Over and Out : )
