TRUST HIM
Psalm 62

How can you trust Him who you do not fear or how can you wait on Him who you do not trust? Truly, it is wisdom to know to fear God so you will be able to trust and wait on Him. The word of God could not have said it better when it says, “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom…” (Psalm 11:10) It is wisdom to know that the one that created heaven and earth is real and true. It is wisdom to know that there is nothing He cannot do. It is wisdom to know He cannot fail and all His word will come to pass. How do you trust in the Lord? Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” The word of God calls for trusting Him with all heart-not with all mouth. God goes by what transpires in the heart. Trusting the Lord with all your heart should not be testing God with all your heart. Testing Him in the heart is rooted in doubting what He can do or undo. The word of God promised,”…He who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land and shall inherit My holy mountain.” (Isaiah 57:13) Absolutely there is nothing worth more than trusting God and finding out His truthfulness. A heart that knows to trust God will know to wait on Him at all times in all situations. God expects us to wait on Him because it is a demonstration of faith and faith is what pleases God. It is a testimony that God is the One, “…Who acts for the one that waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4) It is also testified in Isaiah 40:31, “…But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” There is so much to gain in trusting and waiting on God. All that the word is asking for is to fear the Lord and every other thing will fall in place. So many testimonies through the pages of the Bible demonstrated the need for absolute trust and waiting on God as the only way out to deliverance and preservation. King David also testified in Psalm 62:1-2, “Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.” It is not enough to only know about the word of God. However, to know the word and be known in the word of God is what will make all the difference in the life of a believer.

Prayer for today: Father, put Your fear in my heart so that I will not depart from You. (Jeremiah 32:40)
