Trust in the Lord

by Darla Noble and Joyverse

Psalm 125:1

Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

People put their trust in the stock market, their bank accounts, their job, the neighborhood they live in, or even the labels on the clothes they wear.

They believe these things will help them sustain their popularity, their success, and the health and well-being of their relationships.

But some of them are disappointed, damaged, and even destroyed when stock markets crash, bank accounts dwindle, jobs come and go, and the time eventually comes when they retire and someone equally capable steps in to take their place. Sometimes, neighborhoods lose their prestige, and clothes go in and out of style right along with the seasons.

The Psalmist points out the better choice. That is, you can trust in the One true God who is the only God who will last forever.

Trusting in God brings with it a blessing: a solid foundation that, like a mountain, is not easily moved.

Since God Himself loves and lasts forever, it follows that those who trust Him will find the kind of rooted permanence we all desire. God is ultimately trust-worthy. When His followers truly trust Him, then they, too, will find comfort in their rock-solid faith.


Reflection

How trustworthy am I? How does my dependability reflect my personal faith and trust in God?


Prayer

Dear Lord, Please give me a heart that trusts fully in You. Solidly ground my faith and make me trustworthy, so that I may accurately reflect Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
