There are many reasons to trust God, but just
knowing the reasons isn’t enough to help people fall madly in love with our
God. In fact it is the experiences and
often the crises of life that help us trust God even more.
Here are just
a few reasons to trust our great God:
Through Christ you have come to trust in God.
And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the
dead and gave him great glory.
We can trust
God because of the gift of His son, Jesus.
He is our salvation and our hope!
Do not be
afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6 Do not dread the disease that
stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7 Though a thousand fall at your
side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
We can trust God in
the middle of disaster and darkness. He
will hold us and see us through the most difficult of situations.
So Judah defeated Israel on that occasion because
they trusted in the Lord, the God of their ancestors.
In the middle of
times where I feel unsafe God swoops in to keep those who trust Him safe. He has shown this many times in the past, and
He will do this again in the future.
Some trust in chariots
and some in horses, but we trust in the name
of the Lord our God.
We have no need to
trust in anything but God. Resources,
possessions and even other relationships cannot compare to the goodness of our
God.
See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song;
he has given me victory.”
He is strong. He is our victory. He will surely save us as we trust Him.
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all
creation, will be able to
separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nothing can make God
love us less. His love helps us, holds
us and heals us. Being separated from
God is a scary thing, but we can trust God who stays with us.
and become one with him. I no longer count on my own
righteousness through obeying the law; rather,
I become righteous through faith
in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.
He makes us
righteous. The road was opened by God for
each of us to walk. Trusting God rather
than our ways gives us more confidence than we get anywhere else!
Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would
become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many
descendants you will have!”
Examples and
testimonies are important. Abraham hoped
in God, and that hope paid off and continues to pray off for Abraham and his decedents.
You can go
to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. 25 You need not be afraid of
sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, 26 for the Lord is your
security. He will keep your foot from
being caught in a trap.
Being able to rest,
have peace and get through anything is a point for all who trust God. He is our peace. Trusting God leads to us having even more
peace. Trusting God keeps us from
getting caught in other traps.
But the Lord
stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the
Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.
Ten reasons to trust
God remind me that we are so blessed.
But the problem is many people have nothing to trust in because they do
not know our God. He has rescued us.
May our lives and
our testimonies lead others to trust Him!
