Trust with all your heart
The writer of Proverbs tells us,
"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."
To be a Christian a true believer in Christ Jesus we must put our faith firmly in God. The writer of Hebrews telling us,
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see."
"And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
and
that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
This does not necessarily mean that we will receive our rewards in this world. Certainly the patriarchs mentioned in Hebrews did not see the fruition of their faith in their lifetime. Still they did receive their reward in heaven.
The apostle Paul said,
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.
One commentator stating,
"God weaves everything together for good for his children, The "good" in this contexts does not refer to earthly comfort, but conformity to Christ, closer fellowship with God, bearing good fruit for the kingdom, and final glorification," Thomas R. Schriner.
Ultimately as we put our trust in God. We are showing others our faith and where their faith should be.
Ultimately we need to...
"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.
Are you?
Please think about it.
