Trust in God

  Trust in God

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 

in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

                                                                                                  Proverbs 3:5,6.

This is a very clear directive given to all believers. We are called to trust God no matter what happens.

Job who went through many problems said,

“Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; 

I will surely defend my ways to his face.”

                                                             Job 13:15.

Job may not have known why everything that was happening to him, was happening. He did however know that he truly believed in God. And was willing to defend his actions to God.

The apostle Paul was stoned, shipwrecked, beaten, and eventually put to death for what he believed. Yet he never faltered in his faith in God. He believed, what he believed was right and went to his grave for those beliefs.

This is how we should be today. We should know what we believe and why we believe it. And why we believe something should not be the result of only listening to a preacher, teacher, or evangelist. We should be studying the word of God for ourselves. Reading the Bible so that we know first hand why we believe what we believe.

If you consider yourself a Christian could you defend what you believe before others?

Please think about it.
