When We Truly Know God, We Trust His Ways
Trust doesn't come naturally in a world that teaches self-reliance. Yet the profound truth remains: when we truly know someone's character, trusting them becomes our reflex rather than our struggle.
Diving into Psalm 9:10, we explore how knowing God's name—understanding His character and nature—creates a foundation for unshakeable trust. This isn't blind faith but confidence built on relationship. When we've witnessed God's faithfulness through scripture and personal experience, trusting Him becomes our natural response rather than our last resort.
What happens when we attempt to navigate life through our own limited understanding? We're essentially saying we don't fully trust God's capability or willingness to handle our situations. Yet His perspective transcends ours—He sees around corners we can't even perceive. The invitation stands: shift your focus from logical solutions and distractions back to Jesus.
This trust develops through intentional practices—immersing ourselves in scripture that consistently reveals God's unchanging character, engaging in prayer that cultivates intimacy, and reflecting on His faithfulness throughout our personal history. These aren't religious obligations but relationship-building activities that transform how we perceive our circumstances.
Ready to experience the peace that comes from knowing God deeply? Begin today by prioritizing time in His Word, developing a lifestyle of prayer, and practicing the art of looking beyond your storms to the One who calms them. You'll discover that putting your trust in God isn't just an act of faith—it's the wisest decision you could ever make.
Hey everyone, welcome back to Faith Bits with Allie. I'm your host, allie, with your daily faith bit, we must develop a heart posture of trusting in the Lord. He's never failed us and when we try to do it out of our own strength, in a sense we're saying we don't trust Him. But His ways are higher and he knows what's best, he sees what's coming. So let's begin to trust the Lord.
Speaker 1:In Psalm 910, scripture tells us and those who know your name put their trust in you Do you know God's name? Do you know God's character and nature? Because when you do, you will have this confidence, this assuredness that, without a shadow of a doubt, that you can trust God because he is faithful and he will not leave or forsake you. So developing a relationship with God, developing intimacy, is so important because as you do, you will begin to see who he is and you'll realize that he's always been this way. Get in your word. It will prove to you time and time again that God is still God. Spend time in prayer with him and you'll begin to even reflect back on how God has always been with you, despite the trials and the tribulations. Always been with you despite the trials and the tribulations. So I encourage you to begin to know God for yourself, because when you do, you're able to put your trust in him more quickly than focusing on the natural circumstance, than looking at the storm that's around you, then looking at the situations that's taking place. Get to know God. You'll begin to hear him more clear. So take your minds off of the logical, off of the distractions, and put your focus back on Jesus. Get to know him and he will never fail you, and you'll quickly see that putting your trust in God is the best thing that you could have ever done.
Speaker 1:Let me pray for you, lord. I thank you that we trust you. We no longer put our trust in the natural circumstances and no longer look to the logical ways of humans. We desire to grow deeper in intimacy with you and live from a place of faith. And so, lord, we're going deeper. We're seeking you. We're spending time in prayer. We're getting in our word. We're going deeper. We're seeking you. We're spending time in prayer. We're getting in our word. We're fasting, we're developing a lifestyle of intimacy. We're trusting you is our natural go-to. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen, peace, love and blessings.
