An interesting thing happened to me on the way to vote last November. As I was driving along, it suddenly occurred to me that I had left my cell phone at home. But before I had a chance to get upset, this thought came up in my spirit — but I have You Lord! Wow! What a concept—trusting the Lord!
But, really, who or what is it that we really trust in? Remember, God has ministering angels to help us and they’re way better than any other help.
However, trusting God and His ways isn’t automatic. We don’t get saved and immediately start fully trusting God. It’s a learning process because we’ve been so inundated and programmed by the world’s ways that trusting God, Whom we can’t see, is a major paradigm shift. But, oh how safe and secure it is!
So, how do we learn to trust God? By studying, standing on, and trusting in His Word. He said that He would never leave nor forsake us, that He is with us always, that He’s given His angels charge over us, that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and that He’s given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him. That means through the knowledge of His Word.
Not only that, but we have the faith of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Blood of Jesus, the Name of Jesus, and the total Word of God at our fingertips! What more could we need? Nothing because our gracious Heavenly Father has so totally provided for us that we are more than conquerors through Jesus!
Hebrews 13:5b (KJV) 5 I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Matthew 28:20b (KJV) 20 lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Psalm 91:11-12 (KJV) 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) 17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
2 Peter 1:3-4 (KJV) 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Galatians 2:20 (KJV) 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Romans 8:37 (KJV) 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
