Obey, Trust, Rely

“Pay attention to Me, O My people, And give ear to Me, O My nation; For a law will go forth from Me, And I will set My justice for a light of the peoples.
Isaiah 51:4 NASB1995

My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, And My arms will judge the peoples; The coastlands will wait for Me, And for My arm they will wait expectantly.
Isaiah 51:5 NASB1995

Faithful Trust

May14

O Lord of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
Psalms 84:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.84.12.NASB1995

Trust: faith, belief, certainty¹

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.11.1.NASB1995

By faith Abraham trusted God when he was told to go to a new land to receive an inheritance, not even knowing where he was going.  Hebrews 11:8-10

Abraham, by faith, trusted God when he offered up his only heir to the promise of God, that, “In Isaac your descendants will be called”. Hebrews 11:17-18

Then there is the life of Moses and his journey leading the Jews. That took a lot of trust in God.

🌹Faith takes trusting in Almighty God.

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.11.6.NASB1995

I can attest to this for God is so, so good to me.

#1 Life/Favorite Verse(s) Choice

Mar19

Thank you to all who participated in the sharing of your Life/Favorite Verse(s) yesterday. I was well fed with a feast of wonderful scripture.

The favorite of many participants was Proverbs 3:5-6.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.3.5-6.NASB1995

A blogger friend shared these verses on Tuesday but I never had the chance to read it until yesterday.
I inadvertently listened to a sermon, which I very seldom do online, and yes it was also on Proverbs 3:5-6.
I decided that Proverbs 3:5-6 might just be what God wanted me to share today.

Trusting is not an easy thing to do. It makes us vulnerable to the person we are putting our trust in. Can they be trusted?

I believe we even struggle at times trusting God. It is easier to say we trust than to actually put our trust in Him.

Could it be that we struggle to trust because we want something that God may want better for us? That’s where we need to not lean on our own understanding, trusting that God wants the best for us.

And God’s Word is a great place to grow our trust and learn to walk the straight path following in the footsteps of Jesus.

One of my dear friends who chose Proverbs also chose this verse which I believe fits right in to trusting the Lord.

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.4.12.NASB1995

🌹Are you trusting God? Is the Word where you go when you doubt, when you’re seeking to understand?

The Lord is waiting for you to seek Him so that your trust in Him will grow.

Continually Seeking Him,

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.” Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, “Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.” Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth.

Is your salvation a joy? Does knowing that Jesus is trustworthy and faithful bring joy to your heart as you walk through your day? Do you have a song of joy filling your soul knowing that one day you will be gathered with the saints in praise to our God? Does a smile of joy fill your face that others notice? Are you a walking testimony of the joy of the Lord?

🌹O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
Psalms 95:1-2 NASB1995
