We put our trust in things and people. We trust when we put our foot on our car brakes, the car will stop at the light. We even go as far as trusting the traffic
lights to work properly as we drive through it. We trust neighbors,
family and friends with our children, trusting they won't molest or abuse
them in some way. We eat at restaurants, trusting the cooks washed their hands before
handling our food. We let doctors treat us, trusting their diagnosis and prognosis correct.
When will we trust God?
Many say if they were
living in biblical times, they wouldn’t do what people did in the Bible. I beg
the differ. Peter said he wouldn’t deny
Jesus. And yet it happened. God told Abraham he would have a son with
Sarah. He didn’t trust God. If he did,
there would be no need for Hagar to get pregnant with his baby.
What has God’s Word told
you that you don’t believe. His word says
if you forgive others, he will forgive you (Matt 6:12); His word says He’ll
never leave or forsake you (Heb 13:5); His word says ask and He’ll give to
you (Matt 7:7). Of course, if you waiver in your asking, you won’t get it (Jas
1:6). His word says the works of the flesh will send you to hell: adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murder,
drunkenness, reveling, and such like. His word says you will be judged
according to your works/deeds (Rev 20:13); All those not found in the book of
life will be casted into hell (Rev 20:15).
A word of advice, trust God, trust His Word. What He says, He'll do!
