CHOOSE TO TRUST HIM
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
Becoming a Christian is about making a decision to trust in Jesus Christ to save us. That’s the greatest decision ever to be made.
However, after being saved, there are constant great decisions to make trusting God in the daily living of our lives. There are problems, pains, personal issues, and interactions with other people which are designed to lead us to decide to trust in the Lord and have Him grow us in faith.
How can we get a picture of this? What are we trusting? The verse says to believe that God is who He says He is. Do we believe He will do what He says He will do? Do we believe He will keep His promises? Are we making the decision to trust the Lord to meet our needs, the needs of our family, and the needs of our church?
Each daily decision to do so results in a growth process taking place in our lives. When we make the decision to trust God in every presented circumstance, the development of stronger faith is taking place in our lives. We find out that God never fails when we trust Him!
We talk about this and others may see us trusting Him, and that’s good, but there are so many decisions we need to make to trust Him every day that we need to see this as a private matter. When we are going through a trial, our hearts need to turn to the Lord. The setting is just God and ourselves. We need to trust that He knows our tears and knows what we need. In those private times our faith will be strengthened.
It may be that you will read this all alone this morning. When you do, maybe something you’re going through will come to your mind. How you respond to this trial is very important. There is a great decision for you to make today. I pray your decision is to choose to trust Him! You won’t regret it!
