Trust is a powerful belief. When we trust, we act with positive dependance upon those we trust. Trust breeds security and confidence in relationships. Trust causes us to feel safe with someone else because we perceive them as being reliable. We can depend upon a trustworthy person. This is one of the most important factors in any successful relationship. Lamentations 3:25,26 (NLT) says: “The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.” Psalm 5:11 says: “But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.” People might have failed you in the past, but never allow that to filter in to your relationship with God. God is not a man that He should lie. If He said it, He will do it; If He spoke it, He will bring it to pass! Let your trust in the Lord be your anchor and strength in your life. Even if people fail you, God is with you. He will never fail you. Remember, the Lord is good to those who depend on Him!
How sweet it is!
Almost everyone I know likes to enjoy something sweet after dinner. It just seems that most people have a “sweet tooth.” King David once said of God’s word: “Your promises are sweet to me, sweeter than honey in my mouth!” Psalm 119:103 (NCV). God’s word was very desirable to David, even more desirable than honey! Honey is a powerful antioxidant and has even been used to heal different infirmities. However, the word of God is the greatest antioxidant, as it can clean and heal the soul. Also, as I looked up the word “sweet,” I was surprised in a good way to find out that not only is it a taste sensation that is induced by sugars. The word sweet also means: gratifying, fragrant, very good and appealing. God’s word is all of that and more. Psalm 34:8 says: “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.” Yes He is! So it is time to reject all of those who are continually criticizing the scriptures. They are simply deceived. We have personally tasted of the Lord and His sweet word. Like David, I say: “How sweet is your word, even sweeter than honey!
