We should trust in the Lord for His guidance. “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalms 32:8).
We need His Word to guide us as we journey through life. “Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel…” (Psalms 73:24).“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalms 119:1 05).
We should trust in the Lord for salvation. “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:22).
Salvation is of the Lord; He has provided the way. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life … “ (John 14:6). “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4: 12).
We should trust in the Lord for security. “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation … “ (1 Peter 1 :5).
Many put their trust in earthly things, and find that they fail. “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25). “Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength” (Isaiah 26:4). “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (John 10:28).
We should trust in the Lord for provision. “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed” (Psalms 37:3). “Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:5)
The Lord is the source of all blessing, temporal and spiritual. ” … A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven” (John 3:27). ” … no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly” (Psalms 84:11), “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1 :3).
We should trust in the Lord for protection. “Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me” (Psalms 56:2-4).
As long as Israel put its trust in the Lord, it was protected. “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God” (Psalms 20:7). “In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me” (Psalms 56:11). “I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler” (Psalms 91 :2-4).
We should trust in the Lord for companionship. ” … I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world … “ (Matthew 28 :20).
He is a companion that goes with us and assists us. “And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones … “ (Isaiah 58:11). ” … I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5). ” … The Lord is my helper … “ (Hebrews 13 :6).
We should trust in the Lord for the future: “Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us” (2 Corinthians 1:10).
He has not failed us in the past, so we may look to Him for the future.
“And if l go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3).
