5 Trust
in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make
your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
(NIV)
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my
heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give
thanks to him in song. 8 The Lord is the strength of his people, a
fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Psalms 28:7-8 (NIV)
6 Now I
know that the Lord saves his
anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his
right hand. 7 Some
trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. 8 They are brought to their
knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalms 20:6-8 (NIV)
20 They
were helped in fighting them, and God handed the Hagrites and all their allies
over to them, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered
their prayers, because they trusted in him. 1 Chronicles 5:20 (NIV)
3 You
will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in
you. 4 Trust
in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal. 5 He humbles those who dwell on
high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down
to the dust. 6 Feet
trample it down-- the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor. 7 The path of the righteous is
level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth. 8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your
name and renown are the desire of our hearts. Isaiah 26:3-8 (NIV)
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also
in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I
would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me
that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place
where I am going.” John 14:1-4
(NIV)
13 May
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that
you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NIV)

“He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely
trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.”
Blaise Pascal
“Every
time we resist the slightest temptation, we honor God. Every time we overcome even the smallest
problem by trusting and obeying our Lord Jesus, God is glorified in our
lives. Whenever we choose character over
convenience, faithfulness over ease, or honesty over deceit, we bring honor to
the Lord Himself.” Robert
J. Morgan
“Few
delights can equal the mere presence of One whom we fully trust.” George
McDonald
“Never
be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” Corrie
Ten Boom
“It
is not our trust that keeps us, but the God in whom we trust who keeps us.” Oswald
Chambers
“We as
Christians know that faith is taking God at His Word. And we realize that faith does not get us
around our problems, but it gets us through them. Such a promise is found in Psalm 48:14, ‘For
this is God, our God forever and ever.
He will be our guide even to death.’
His promise then is no matter how difficult we may find life to be, He
will guide us all the way home. Isaiah
42:16 ‘And I will bring the blind by a way they know not. I will lead them in paths that they have not
known.’ This is the way God leads His
own. You and I are blind to the future,
but He is not, and He has promised to lead all who will put their trust in
Him. Sometimes, because our
circumstances are totally out of our control, we not only have to believe these
promises, but we must put them to the test.” Wales
Goebel
“Life holds for all of us, from time to time, desolate places. All that
was ordinary and secure and familiar and dependable seems a thousand miles
away. Here we are in this strange wilderness- out of work, ill, robbed of
something or someone, banished from a privilege that once was ours, no longer
needed, confused, forsaken. It is a place of dryness, loneliness, isolation,
helplessness, fear. We feel as though we are walking where no human being was
ever meant to walk, a place of dragons. Don't despair. Even
though you find no signs, be sure that thousands have traversed this terrain.
When you reach the far side you will meet them. But there is something that is
far more comforting than that. You are not alone now. Always beside you is Another whose voice you may not hear, whose arm
you may not feel, whose footprint you may not see. Nevertheless His Word is
utterly to be trusted: "I cared for you in the wilderness.” (Hosea 13:5) Elisabeth Elliot
“Want of trust is at the root of almost all our
sins and all our weaknesses, and how shall we escape it but by looking to Him
and observing His faithfulness. The man
who holds God’s faithfulness will not be foolhardy or reckless, but will be
ready for every emergency.” Hudson
Taylor
·
As I trust
in Him – attach myself to Him – He is faithful to lead and guide me in paths of
righteousness. He can always be trusted.
·
Lack of
trust in the One who created all and holds all in His powerful hands is the root
of almost all my sin and weaknesses.
Faith will always be tested.
·
He keeps
me in perfect peace as my mind stays fixed on Him.
