Trust in Him

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all them that trust in Him. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? (2 Sam 22:31-32)

I pray you had great worship on this past Lord’s Day in your local church! Let’s join our hearts together and look to the word of God for His strength and guidance to begin this day. In our scripture passage this morning, the elder David declares at the retirement of his life that God’s “way is perfect” and His word is “tried” and proven. Therefore, “trust in Him.” Wow! What a conclusion for one’s life. In a world that is filled with change, conflicts, and uncertainty. Trust in God. In life when fears arise within you, failures stump you, and frustrations confuse you. Trust in God. Jesus says that we are to welcome these moments and not loose heart. “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). He spoke these words just hours before He would be crucified and die for the sin of the world. What a confident conclusion for life. “Be of good cheer.” How is this possible? Jesus says again in John 14, “you believe in God, believe also in Me.” The conclusion is clear as you begin this day. God is worthy of our trust and confidence. Look to Him in prayer. Lean on Him for His understanding. He will guide you in His word. My friend, trials, challenges, and difficulties are certain to come. But “be of good cheer,” you have a way through each one of them by faith in Jesus Christ. Life is filled with uncertainties. Trust God at every moment that you may know with confidence “His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried.” Father, thank You that Your way is perfect, Your word is proven, and You never change. You are unshakeable. A solid Rock that all may stand through the uncertainties in life. I look to You now, to lead my way. I will rejoice and be glad in it. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
