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!
Who will take advantage of this opportunity?
Have you ever failed to take advantage of a great opportunity? Later on, regret might have set in as you realized what you missed out on. Ephesians 5:16 (TPT) says: “Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes.” Everywhere you look, you can see how people are trying to take advantage of you. You can see it in commercials where corporations are incessantly trying to sell you something. You can see it in the daily robo-calls promoting every kind of product or service. Even some of our family try to take advantage of us. 2 Corinthians 2:11 confirms that satan also attempts to take advantage of us: “Lest Satan should take advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” It’s time that you realize that God has given us discernment and wisdom to be able to take advantage of every day and maximize the resources and relationships that He has blessed us with. This will allow us to be pleasing to Him, and we could also be effective ministers where He has rooted us. Determine today to not allow the enemy to take advantage of you. Instead, you take advantage of every opportunity. The Holy Spirit will show you how to do so as you seek Him and ask for daily wisdom.
Ephesians 5:16 (TPT) “Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes.”
