"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths"-Proverbs 3:5-6
What does it mean to trust someone? I know that with most people, they have to know you first before they trust you but I do my own in a way that is somewhat backwards. With me, I will trust you until you give me enough reasons to stop trusting you. Some people give me enough reasons to not trust them within seconds of me meeting them, others within a few weeks but one thing that is for sure is that a person's character will always reveal itself with time. When I think about God, I have come to realize that there will never come a time when God's character will give me enough reasons not to trust Him. Unlike people who may put up fake personalities and hide their true identities under a fake mask, God has shown me, and proven to me times without number that He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. Though God can do all things, the only thing He cannot do is lie because that is not in His nature. The Word of the Living God says
"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?"- Numbers 23:19
That Scripture can be summed up to say " God CAN be trusted!". People may disappoint you, they can overlook you, they can undervalue you, but God is NOT a man! It is not in His nature to mislead you. I want to encourage you this day that whatever it is that God has promised you, trust him! The above Scripture asks has God ever said something and not done it? Has He ever spoken it and will He not make it good? That is to assure us that everything that He has uttered must be so! Not only that, whatever He has vowed must be good! With prayer and full confidence let us grow to rely on God's Word and promises even when our circumstances may look discouraging. This is a higher level of trust that God is requiring from His people. As we grow in our Christian faith, we cannot hold on to the same level of faith and trust that we had when we first believed. Let us not trust God as we trust people. If we are waiting for the time when God will fail, we wait in vain. If you feel that because God did not answer one particular prayer request therefore you can no longer trust Him, I want to assure you that God did answer your prayer. A good Father will never give a child what He knows will harm the child. Trust God! He is faithful, He is Just. If He said it, He alone will do it!
