TRUST ~ Step 2

Step 2 - Psalms 37:3 TRUST in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed,

So, now that we have learned to let our worries go...our heart is cleaned out and has plenty of room for TRUST.  If we recall a very familiar verse {Prov 3:[5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.} Now we know how to really apply this verse to our lives.  It says with ALL thine heart, now we have our entire heart ready to TRUST. Trust seems like it should be one of the final steps BUT actually we need to TRUST right away.  That is what Trust is all about completely relying on God.  Don't try to fix it yourself, don't even try to figure it out for that matter because you will quickly be right back to the fretting stage and we clearly agreed already that worry don't work :)

When we TRUST God, allow it to be ALL about HIM and what HE can do, when we are TRUSTING...that is our only care or responsiblilty is to just TRUST, no other ability of ours will be needed because we are leaving it to Gods ability.

God showed me an example today when I was praying about this blog.  We never question the designer or builder of the many  bridges we cross from day to day, or what about that high rise building that you work in, or the manufacturer of the vehicle that you expect to get you and your family safely from here to there...BUT somehow we automatically trust that they got it right.  So....maybe it is because we can't see God, but in fact, we can't see the other builders either, just the evidence they were there. When you look in the mirror, you see evidence that God was/is there. He created us in the likeness of HIS own image and he knows quite well how to fix our ailments, worries, and much more. {Ps. 56:13 says [13] For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?} If HE can do that then we can TRUST HIM with anything!!!

{Psalms 71:[1] In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.} - - Ask God to help you with confusion, I have a rule of thumb that I go by... "If it confuses me, chances are...it is not of God!!!" If you keep trying to find the answer about something that you question if its right or wrong or may be someone you know questions it...I say: "Avoid, if at all possible!!" Even if it is not wrong, if it gets you in a state of confusion, you will be right back to fretting and before you know it you will be defeated about somthing that you haven't even done yet.

Going back up to end of our verse for this thought is says {Ps. 37:3....VERILY thou shalt be fed}.  Verily means "really and trully!!!!" HE means it!!

Statistically thinking: the word TRUST is used 44 times in the book of Psalms :)

I'll give you a few Bible references here for TRUST that you can look up sometime:
Ps.13:5 - Trust HIS Mercy
Ps.56:3 - Trust when you are afraid
Ps.62:8 - Trust at all times
Ps.71:5 - Trust from your youth
Ps.84:12 - Blessed who Trust
Ps.118:8 - It is better to Trust God than man
Ps.119:42 - Trust Thy Word

We will conclude with ~~~ Can GOD Trust You, to Trust HIM?? ~~~
