When we trust God, we are not leaning on our 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.
When we trust God, then we can say, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust" (Psalm 91:2). No one can force us to trust God. On the other hand, no one can stop us from trusting God. If our hearts are changed by the grace of God, we will 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 us to trust Him as our Father in heaven. If an earthly father can be trustworthy, our Father in heaven is infinitely much more. We trust God as our Father in heaven.
When we trust God, we stand 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. We trust God with absolute confidence in His word of promise.
