TRUST

Saints, there are two key areas where we still fall short in our spiritual walk and growth.
One is faith and the other is trust. Faith in the Lord and trust in the Lord is terribly lacking.
Yet, aren’t they the same we might ponder. No.
Faith is to believe the Lord can do something.
Trust is to believe the Lord will do something.
We know the Lord can provide and heal and deliver and lead us on the right path. Do we however believe that the Lord will?
For the Lord says He is always by our side, all that He asks is for to trust in Him. We have no peace, for we do not trust. The Lord knows the path that we tread, He knows the pitfalls and He knows what destination we must reach and at what time we must do so. The Lord sees things that we can’t, knows things and hears things. He is the beginning and the end, yet we take His hand and trust Him to lead us over the rocky path and the good path.
We must not believe that He can but that He will.
Faith and trust. Yet we lack in both. We say we do, yet our daily lives testifies that we rarely trust in the Lord.
If we don’t trust, we walk in own effort. If we don’t trust, we walk in deception and rely on the strength of this world.
How much do we really trust Him? It is question of surrendering to His will. Do we really believe He will do what He says He will? Sure, we have faith in His abilities, yet do we trust Him with all that we are and all that we have?
Trust me, says the Lord and then you will be free and then you will have peace.
If we however stand still long enough in His presence and allow Him to reveal our lack of trust in Him, we will be shocked at our lack. Indeed, these days, even our faith runs aground for we will in the natural.
The Lord looks down and finds His children do not trust Him to lead them in the everlasting way of His hand.
Trust, says the Lord.
Just trust in Him.
Lay it all down. Everything. Rely never on your own strength and that man knows the true path.
