Trust God

⁵Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; ⁶ in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

It is human nature to trust in themselves instead of God!

We’ll easily trust in our wealth, beauty, strength, talent, or any other good quality we have, but when it comes to trusting God.

Out flesh longs for satisfaction. But out spirit is bound to seek tangible sources of strength,
because that’s what the flesh knows and understands.

The flesh doesn’t like things that it can’t see and touch.

To live by faith is a challenge.

Usually we can’t see God’s kingdom at work in the natural. We know that at some point in the future it will be clearly visible to all people, but for now it is veiled.

God calls us to put our faith in him and trust him for all things. This requires us to seek him.

Jesus said, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”
(Matthew 6:33 NIV)

Those “things” that Jesus was talking about were all things that we need for living, such as food, shelter and clothing.
God is a good God and he loves us very much.

He longs for opportunities to demonstrate his affection toward us.

Our trust in him opens up the opportunities.

It takes humility to obey God when he tells us not to do something we want to do.
If we decide to continue trusting in our own abilities and strengths, we can’t expect God to draw near to us.

⁶ But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
⁷ Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
⁸ Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:6-8 NASB

When we exercise humility by trusting in God,
we have the assurance that he will draw near to us and hear our prayers.


What are some of the reasons we may not trust God completely? Not knowing Him that well...
What are the lies behind those reasons???

If our faith is weak, what can we do for help? Dig Deeper into the Word!

I answer your call to live by faith and commit to seeking you each day.

Please help me overcome any unbelief I may have.
