Trust in the Lord

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Psalms 20:7-8

Bible Reading: Proverb 3:5-7

Trust is as important to life as breath. Trust means confidence and faith. In things that pertain to trust, we cannot but mention faith. Our faith in God determines many things in our lives and the level which we will get to in life. Also, every relationship thrives on trust. For instance, trust is important in our walk with God, a marriage relationship cannot stand properly if both spouses do not trust each other.

Regardless of what we are passing through in life, trusting God is central to our Christian race. Our trust in the Lord should be absolute because partial trust is no trust at all. Lean not on your own understanding because although‚ “the horse is prepared against the day of battle, yet, safety is of the Lord” (Prov. 21:30). Many have put their trust in wealth, home, investment and even spiritual endowment forgetting that immediately we shift our gaze from Him, we become vulnerable to the flesh taking over.

Do you know there is always reward when you trust in the Lord? Ask King David who trusted the Lord throughout his life time. He enjoyed divine protection, guidance, directions, prosperity and a living relationship with God among others. Let your trust be in Jesus and not in the things you have. If you are yet to give your life to Christ, you cannot put your trust in God because you cannot save your money in a bank you don’t have an account in. So, accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour is the beginning of trusting God for life and destiny journey.

Self-Reflection: For whatsoever is not of faith is sin (Romans 14:23b)

Daily Confession: Lord I repent of putting my trust in myself, in things and in people. I choose to trust you as from today in Jesus Name. Amen

Intercessory prayer: Prayer for teachers in our schools for wisdom, patience and the grace needed to teach our children effectively.

Hymn: Will your anchor hold in the storms of life

We have an anchor that keeps that soul

Steadfast and save while the bellow roll
