Confident Trust

Oct5

Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be (I am) confident.
Psalms 27:3 NASB

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about.
Psalms 3:6 NASB

Wow! Those are two very bold statements. Are you that confident in trusting God? I can, without a doubt say, ‘No, I am not’. I can also truthfully say, ‘I want to be’.

Life is not without challenges of dealing with difficult people. People who are determined to argue, disagree, set themselves against you, persecute you, especially when we are walking with God.

That is the point right there. Walking with God. The closer our walk, the more we learn to trust. The more we trust, the more confidence we have in God.

🌹Let’s pray, asking God to bring us to confident trust in Him.

My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
Psalms 62:1‭-‬2 NASB

Waiting in silence. . .
If you’re anything like me, this is difficult. I very much enjoy talking to the Lord and I can babble on and on and on. . . But how can I hear the still small voice of the Lord if I am not silent, listening.

In the silence I am humbled as I am reminded that my salvation is from God alone. He is my rock, my stronghold and where I find my strength.

I shall not be greatly shaken! In God I will trust.

For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name.

I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.

Living Up to Expectations

Jun15

Hannah, wife of Elkanah, had no children because God had closed her womb. Elkanah’s other wife did have children and would provoke Hannah for being barren. (1 Samuel 1:2,5).

Societies expectations, and that of others, can hurt; but don’t we beat ourselves up even more by desiring to please and meet the expectations of others and failing to meet those expectations? Being a people pleaser all the time is impossible, so let us focus on pleasing God, living up to His expectations.
What is God’s expectation of us?

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Deuteronomy 6:5 NASB

Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.
Isaiah 26:4 NASB

But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:29 NASB

🌹Let God’s expectation of us be our foundation. Trust that God has a plan. Seek Him and let Him rule in us.

Trust God When Life Gets Hard

Jun13

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.
Genesis 50:20 NASB

Life can deal some harsh blows. But God. Do you trust Him with your life? Do you set your sights on Him knowing He will see you through any and every situation? Do you believe that in all situations in life God has a plan? Teaching, growing, sanctifying. Can God take what seems bad or is, and turn it to your good and His glory?
God is amazing! He has a plan. Trust Him. Talk to Him. He cares. He is listening. Seek Him through His word and prayer.

🌹And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28 NASB

Baruch Hashem Adonai

Blessed be the Lord, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication. The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.
Psalms 28:6‭-‬7 NASB

Prayer. To go before the Lord in prayer is to trust that He will hear and answer. It takes faith to pray. It takes trust that God will answer. With answered prayer, it is with a thankful heart that we sing His praise!

Continually Seeking Him,
