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!
This habit ensures your success!
Our daily habits either help us or hurt us. Someone said that the success or failure in our lives mostly consist of 4 to 6 things that we habitually do every day. The Lord Jesus taught us in the Lord’s prayer to DAILY pray and ask Him for our daily bread (Matthew 6)! In that statement, bread is both a physical and spiritual request and need. That includes daily food and the word of God, which is our spiritual food. This means that prayer is part of a Christian’s success in life. If we are neglecting daily prayer and meditation on His word, we are ignoring one of the most important disciplines that lead to real success. God told Joshua that if He would meditate on His words, he would make his way successful. Why would we purposefully ignore the practice and discipline of prayer? Most likely, it is because we don’t really understand just how important prayer is. Do we eat every day? Do we breathe every day? Do we sleep every day? All these actions are vital to life. Well guess what, so is prayer and daily meditation on God’s word. It’s time to make prayer and God’s word an absolute priority in our lives!
Matthew 6: 11 “Give us this day our daily bread”
