FAITH CAPSULE: God knows all those who trust Him.
2 Kings 6:8-23
Trusting God is not an act of the mouth but belongs to the act of the heart.
Trusting God is relying on God.
Trusting God is relying on God.
Without the fear of God, there is no seeking God.
One can only seek God when there is trust in God.
In times of challenges, one who fears God is with character trusting and loving God.
God testifies about Job as one who fears Him when He spoke to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” (Job 1:8)
Despite the overwhelming challenges in the life of Job, he could not be silent nor allowed his trust and love for God to become shaken when he stated, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him…” (Job 13:15)
Job feared God and placed his trust in God.
To fear God indeed and in truth is what it takes to trust in the name of God.
The Bible makes us realize that the name of God is trustworthy.
His name is a place of refuge and a strong tower for safety.
Do you know His name or your name about His name?
Psalm 9:10 states, “Those who know your name will put their trust in You; for You have not forsaken those who seek You.”
Giving regard to the works of God and the operation of His hand is the way to know to fear God and be able to trust His name.
Fear God, His works, the operation of His hands that make a way where there is no way.
Once, the King of Syria was making war against Israel.
His horses and chariots surrounded the city, and when the servant of Elisha saw the army of Syria, he reacted as one with no trust, but Elisha responded, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw.” (2 Kings 6:16-17)
What you fear will find you.
Whenever your fear finds you, you will lose trust in God.
Know His name; gain trust in God, gain spiritual sight, and begin to see a way where there is no way.
The servant of Elisha gained sight and trusted God for making a way where there was no way, getting victory in place of defeat.
God does not sleep nor slumber.
God knows all those who trust Him. He is good to those who trust Him.
Nahum 1:7 testifies, “The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.”
Do you truly trust in God, or only talk about your trust in God?
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to be constantly steadfast in trusting Him.
