Trust that never fails

 

Text: Isaiah 26:4 (KJV)

Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.

Trust (confidently) in the Lord forever, For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock (the Rock of Ages) (Amp)

Friends, life will always present uncertainties, pressures, and challenges that can shake your confidence. So, we can see that storm is an integral part of life. Yet, the scripture above according to prophet Isaiah, gives us a powerful instruction to trust in the Lord forever. This is not temporary trust based on circumstances, but a continuous reliance and dependance on God.  Psalm 118:8 - It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. God is described here as the everlasting strength which means He is a rock that never weakens, changes, or fails. Though, human strength can fade, and worldly support will certainly disappoint, but God remains constant. So, when we anchor our trust in Him, we draw from a strength that never runs dry. Proverb 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Interestingly, our life of trusting God means depending on His wisdom to go through the process even when we cannot see the full picture of the plan. It requires us believing that His plans are greater than our fears and that His power is sufficient and more than enough for every situation we face. Jeremiah 17:7–8 – Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord whose hope the Lord is. He shall be as a tree planted by the waters and spreadeth out her roots by the river and shall not see when heat cometh….. Therefore, when we cultivate this lifestyle of trust, we experience peace, stability, and confidence, knowing that God is in control of that challenge before you from the past, present and the future difficulties in Jesus name.

Prayer Points:

1. Lord, help me to completely trust You in every area of my life, even when circumstances seem uncertain in Jesus name.
2. Father, strengthen my faith so that I rely on Your everlasting power and not on human strength in Jesus name.

Action Quote: Remember, when your trust is in God, your strength will never run out.
