“Trust “ – it is a word that is thrown around quite a bit. All of us at one time or another have experienced someone not being trustworthy or someone breaking our trust or maybe we haven’t been a person that someone can trust. Trust is an action that our Father in heaven beckons us to do on a daily basis – HE invites us to trust Him! Isaiah the prophet says, “those who put their trust in Him will not be disappointed.” Psalm 118:8-9 says “ It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord that to put confidence in princes.” Proverbs 14:26 says “ in the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence , and His children will have a place of refuge. “ Another words as we place our confidence in Him, Adonai will be our refuge.

We used to sing a song in Sunday school called “Trust and Obey.” This song is simple but yet so true. Trust is the catalyst that leads to obedience. God want us to trust Him because His ways and steps are right and true. And they are the best for us. Our part is to first trust and then follow through with the courage to obey. There has to be a corresponding action to trust.

Our trust must be solely in Him! Even in our deepest times of doubt we must be like the man in Mark 9:24 who said, “ Messiah help me to believe in my unbelief.”

Trust is the beginning point – the launching point to tasting the new wine. Yes, it’s a bit scary and, yes, it will cost but, YES it is worth it! Especially on that day when we stand face to face with Him ,our Messiah, and He says well done my trustworthy servant – enter into your rest.
