Reasons To Trust in God

(Psalm 37:3)

"Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness. (NLT)"

There are many reasons why we can trust God:

• He is the one, true God (2 Samuel 7:21). From the beginning of time, those who seek God have found Him. No other god has revealed himself to man in this way.
• He is the essence of truth (Hebrews 6:17-18). God cannot lie, and He will never lead you astray. However, He has told us that there is one who deceives us, and that is Satan. Jesus called Satan the "father of lies" and rightly so (John 8:44)
• He is absolutely faithful (Lamentations 3:23). When was the last time God let you down? He never has, and He never will. No matter what you are facing, God knows about it, and He is near to show you how to resolve your dilemma.
• He has all power (Matthew 28:18). He is able to make what is impossible to you and me, possible through his will, power, and love.
• He loves you unconditionally (John 15:9). God will never stop loving you. Even when you are unlovely, He love you. And it is His love that draws you away from sin and into His arms of infinite care.
• He never changes (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He may be unpredictable at times ... but he is always consistent. He is in all things and all things are held together by Him.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, although things around me are constantly changing ... may I rest in the fact that you never change, that your love for me remains the same no matter what I do, and that you are all good, all light, and life itself. May I place my trust in your care over my life. For your love is deeper than any ocean and higher then the heavens ... your faithfulness knows no bounds. Teach my heart to trust in your love for me. In Jesus I pray this amen.

I don't usually do this ... but today's blog was focused around an awesome teaching by Doctor and Pastor Charles Stanley ... from the book ... " Pathways to His Presence"

I pray this blog may fill you with peace ... as your heart learns to "Trust In the Lord with All Your Heart, To Lean Not On Your Own Understanding, but in all things acknowledge Him, knowing that He will make your path straight" [proverbs 3:5-6]
