Trust in God – 090813
Message from the General Overseer – Pastor Dr. E.O. Abina
Psalm 37:3 – Trust in the Lord, and do good: so that thou shalt dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Proverbs 3:5 – Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Isaiah 26:4 – Trust in the Lord forever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.
The Bible says, from the mouth of two or three witnesses, the truth shall be established. The above quotations are from three different writers but one author – The Holy Spirit. One was a king about whom God bore testimony that he was a “man after My own heart.” The second person was the wisest king that has ever lived on this planet earth. And the third was one of the major prophets of the Bible. There is no reason to doubt their exhortation to put our trust in God. Most Christians of our day do not enjoy serving God because they fail to add this indispensable aspect of Christian life in their living.
The word trust means firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing; it means confidence, belief; faith. It takes absolute trust or firm reliance in the integrity, ability and character of God in order to enjoy serving Him. We are enjoined to trust in God because He is always trustworthy; He cannot deny whatever He has said. We should trust Him because of His ability to do whatever He promised He would do.
We trust God because there is no impossibility in Him; with Him all things are possible. Some Christians would not trust God because of their lack of faith. Other would not trust Him because of their pride – they feel they are self-sufficient. We are admonished not to lean on our own understanding. No matter what situation you are passing through, you must trust in God that He understands the situations more than you do. Trust Him as a babe trusts his nursing mother on whose lap he feels safe and secure. You can trust God in every area of your life. The children of Israel trusted Him at the Red Sea; so they passed through it as on dry sand not thinking that the waters would turn back to cover them. The waters of your present situation will not cover you; you will pass through it in Jesus’ name.
Let us sing the first stanza of G.H.B 17.
Simply trusting everyday
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Chorus: Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by
Trusting Him, whate’er befall
Trusting Jesus, that is all
Let us pray.
