“Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust…”(Psalm 40:4)
Did you know that trusting in the Lord is a decision we make just like
we choose anything else in life? You chose what you are wearing today,
you probably chose what you would have for breakfast, and you can choose
to trust God every day, too! When you choose to trust God, there is
peace that settles in your heart. There is joy because you know the outcome, and there is blessing in store for you because your hope is sure.
No matter what you are facing in life today, trust that Almighty God
will come through for you. Trust that His Word is always true. In Psalm
32, David calls God his “hiding place.” In other words, when you place
your trust in God, you can find refuge in Him. You are actually hidden
from the enemy when you choose to trust.
Always remember, when
circumstances seem overwhelming, don’t look at what’s happening around
you; look to God. He is the author and finisher of your faith. Choose to
trust that He is the one who is ordering your steps. Find security in
knowing that He is making your crooked places straight and your rough
places smooth. Trust in Him and live in the blessing and everlasting
life He has prepared for you!
