If you trust God, you are not leaning on your own understanding. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding"(Proverbs 3:5). We cannot understand all the ways of God. Trusting God is confidently believing in His ability to help us and direct us.
If you trust God, you can testify, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust" (Psalm 91:2). No one can force you to trust God. On the other hand, no one can stop you from trusting God. If your heart is changed by the grace of God, you can trust in the LORD.
All relationships are built upon trust. Our relationship with God is trusting Him. God is trustworthy. As a son who will trust his father, so God invites you to trust Him as your Father in heaven. If an earthly father can be trustworthy, our Father in heaven is so very much more. Trust God as your Father in heaven.
If you trust God, you are standing firm upon His word. The Bible gives us the written promises of God. We can trust the promises of God, because He is the Promise-Keeper. His word of promise is our sure foundation. We trust God through every situation of life. If you trust God, then you have absolute confidence in His word of promise.
