Trust And Obey

Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us – Psalm 62:8.

               When God told Abraham to leave his country and people, he immediately obeyed God having trust in Him. ‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’ So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran - Acts 7:2,3. God blessed Abraham and made him as a blessing. Leave your country, your people, and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you. I will make your name great and you will be a blessing - Genesis 12:1,2.

            Noah obeyed God and prepared an ark as God commanded him for saving his household because of his faith in God. By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith - Hebrews 11:7. Let us rely on the love of God with full trust. And so, we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them - 1 John 4:16.

             When we trust God and surrender all our ways to Him, He will make our crooked paths straight. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight - Proverbs 3:5,6. Let us trust that God will be with us and guide all our steps throughout our life. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze - Isaiah 43:2.

When we walk with the Lord

in the light of His word,

what a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will,

He abides with us still,

and with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey, for there's no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to trust and obey You at all times. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
