He's Trustworthy



Many people walk around looking for validation from others, opening themselves up to people in hopes that they would be trustworthy with their hearts & lives. Unfortunately more often than not these people are let down because the ones they entrusted themselves to, did nothing to garner such a honor nor did they give any assurance that trusting in them would reap any benefits. When given the responsibility of caring for someone who trust them, many regretfully take advantage of that persons vulnerability and hurt them instead of helping them. Gratefully as believers the same doesn't ring true for our relationship with God.
When making the choice to trust in God you never have to worry or consider that your trust in Him will end up hurting or damaging you in any way. First He has already proven his love and desire for you but giving you the best gift you could ever receive. John 3:16 says in (NKJV) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.We are reminded further of his love in Romans 5:8 NKJV But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Not only do we see how much he loved us even before we loved Him but we also have assurances of what trusting Him will bring Proverbs 3:5,6 reminds us Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths (NJKV). Trusting in God not only gives us peace, security and hope but it also leads to clear direction for your life. We are able to talk with God, walk with Him, trust in Him and follow after Him because of Christ made it possible.
When I think of summing up our ability to trust in God I'm reminded of the so writer who penned: ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, Thus saith The Lord.

Be blessed
