Trust
by Pastor Marie Esposito

Trust- To believe in the reliability, truth, the ability or strength of, to  put confidence in one’s integrity.

Who are we trusting in? The Holy Living God.

He is all powerful and all loving. His Word and His promises are secure and true. 

Our heart must completely trust in Him; there is no room for anything else. 

He has a rightful claim to the throne of our lives. And, we have a rightful claim to all that Jesus has purchased for us and rules over in His throne room in heaven. This is where we rest.

Ephesians 2:6
Hebrews 4:16

When we give thanks, praise, and worship our God, speaking His Word, our focus shifts to Him and off of us. We enter His realm.

Complete surrender in every moment connects us 

intimately with God. If we have given ourselves over completely to God, we can be assured that He will completely take care of us.

Psalm 56:3 
Proverbs 3:5-8

There is a man after God’s own heart [David]  who had many trials in the progression of his life,  and came through every one of them in victory. We can read Davids’ story in First and 2nd Samuel. 

David learned to worship and trust God as a shepherd on the hillside. He was anointed by Samuel the prophet on the hillside to become king.  That was his destiny. There were many steps that led up to his coronation. Within the process of his life, he learned to trust His God and to inquire, prayerfully, every step of his life and then obeying the direction and counsel of God.  He was intimate with the Lord and heard His voice clearly as God led him to victory over his enemies. God was His Champion.

Briefly, I can share two times that David inquired counsel and had victory.

Ziglag – Restoration
Hebron – Coronation

Here are his words when he was completely delivered from his enemies and from Saul.

Psalm 18:1-2  reads “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer: My God, My strength in whom I will trust. My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

We can be encouraged by this life, and by the Word of God as it instructs us to seek Him for answers in this time of our lives.  

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.”  Proverbs 3:5-8

Isaiah 52:12  “Your God, Yahweh, will go before you. He will lead you each step and be your rear guard.”
