Day 6: Trust
​

When someone says, “Trust me,” it makes you wonder about the character of the person. It goes without saying that we cannot trust someone that we do not know. Trust is easier when we have a history with the other person. There is a secret to trusting God—we must get to know Him more and more. When someone says, “Trust me,” we have one of two natural reactions. We either say, “Ok, I’ll trust you,” or we question, “Why should I?” When talking about God, trusting Him naturally follows when we understand why we should trust Him.

Unlike humans, God never lies and never fails to come through on His promises. Unlike humans, God’s plans are perfect, holy, and righteous. If we are constantly seeking Him in prayer and reading Scripture, we will see that He is worthy of our trust and our trust is best held in Him. The more we look back on our lives, the more we will see how faithful He has been, and how he has proven Himself to be trustworthy. Our trust in Him will grow daily.

Isaiah 14:24
“The Lord of hosts has sworn: ‘As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,’”

Romans 8:28
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

Ephesians 2:8-10
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Psalm 100:5
“For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness is to all generations.”

Ask yourself:
- Am I really trusting God with my life?
- What is holding me back from allowing me to place 100% of my trust in Him?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help me to trust you and to know that your plans are better than my own. Please give me the determination to know you more so I can trust you more. If there is anything holding me back from trusting you, reveal it to me today. Amen.
