“Trust in the Lord…Fear the Lord…Honor the Lord”
Proverbs 3:5-9

In order to receive the blessing of God, we must trust Him.  Trusting God is not some mere token confession you make from time to time.  Trusting God must be complete, total, daily reliance upon the promises of God.  Every day you will face the choice of either relying on your own understanding or trusting in Him.

You and I must choose to trust God.  When you come to those places in life where the line is drawn and the question is “Can I trust God?” your answer determines whether you grow or shrivel spiritually.  The issue is, “Which am I going to choose?”  When God told Noah to build the ark, it had never rained.  Noah chose to trust God.  Abraham left everything behind because he chose to trust God.  Joshua was faced with a decision, and he said, “Choose today whom you will serve… but as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”  Do you have this kind of trust in the Lord?

You can prove your trust in Him.  Trusting Him is real when you (1) acknowledge Him, (2) depart from evil, and (3) honor the Lord with your time, talent, and treasures.

Hebrews 10:35-39, “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith.  And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.  But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.”
