"Trust in the LORD"

“Trust in the LORD”

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.     Proverbs 3:5-6

TRUST: The obligation or responsibility imposed on a person in whom confidence or authority is placed.



To place TRUST in someone, is hard for most people to do.  However, Psalm 118:8, tells us that:  It is better to take REFUGE in the Lord than to TRUST in humans.  Ultimately, God is in CONTROL of things.  And He is ALL KNOWING, ALL POWERFUL, and EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME.  Now, that sounds like someone I could put my TRUST in.  He KNOWS BEFORE it happens, and He KNOWS HOW to HANDLE it.  He is POWERFUL enough to do whatever it takes to get things done. And He is ALWAYS EVERYWHERE at the SAME time.



Our Scripture, out of Proverbs, tells us that we NEED to TRUST in the LORD, with ALL our HEART, and to do that, we NEED NOT to LEAN or RELY on our OWN UNDERSTANDING.  Our thoughts and insights, are inadequate.  No matter how intelligent, or gifted a person maybe, they can NEVER replace mankind’s NEED for TRUSTING in GOD’S GREATER and HIGHER attributes.



God is ABLE and TRUSTWORTHY to meet ALL YOUR and My needs.  When we SUBMIT ALL our ways to Him, He will make our paths STRAIGHT.  This is means, when we are totally SOLD-OUT to God, He will do MORE than just GUIDE our paths, He will make our pathway EASIER to travel on.  But this requires US to TRUST HIM with EVERY PART of our LIVES.  Are you WILLING??



If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you have NO relationship with Him.  And your headed down the WRONG PATH, one full of obstacles, and pitfalls all along the way.  If you are TRUSTING in yourself or another human being, you will remain on that path, which will lead you to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after you get there.  In order to get on the RIGHT PATH, which is STRAIGHT and SMOOTH, and leads to an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, you MUST BE WILLING TO TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and TRUST in the LORD to get you to HEAVEN, your ETERNAL HOME.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
