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!
With my whole heart! (also, a gift at the end of the devotional)
Before you read this devotional, I want to let you know that I have a gift for you at the end, so make sure you get it. Blessings. Pastor Victor
David understood the importance of walking with God with his whole heart! God is not interested in half-hearted relationships. Jesus was fully engaged when He went to the cross. He had a chance to walk away in the garden of Gesthemane, but He stayed true to the course and went all the way to the cross. We are the Bride of Christ. This means marriage and commitment! Dating is fun, but you can walk away at any time. Marriage however, is full commitment. The Lord Jesus calls us His bride. the Heavenly Father calls us His children. Both these statements reveal complete commitment! I don’t have to take care of a stranger’s child, but I am fully commited to take care of my children. God loves us completely and wholly. We must do no less. Today, assess where your heart is. Is God in the center of your heart, or are other things more important than Him? Be like David who loved God with all of his heart!
Psalm 119:69 (part B) I will keep Thy precepts with my whole heart.
