DEVOTION 2/3/2021

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 KJV

Trusting in God brings comfort and cheer, even in the midst of stress and crushing difficulties. Faith is what helps us trust God in difficult times. To trust, means to have a firm belief in the reliability, truth or ability in someone. Our understanding has limitations but that of God is infinite. It is always a blessing to put your trust in God and it is a curse to put it in man.

In Daniel 3:18 – 22,24 – 25, even in their position, Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego did not feel the need to defend their decision not to comply with the kings’ edict. They remained calm and confident in the face of the Kings life – threatening anger at them. They had faith that God would save them because they trusted God would take care of them. 

Beloved, God will never leave you nor forsake you –  Deuteronomy 31:6. He said in His word “ _When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze_” – Isaiah 43:2. This is amazing. 

The reflective question is, how can you trust that, whatever happens, it is God who still loves and guides you? May God, bless you and cause you to flourish like a tree planted by the waters and may He also cause you to bear fruit in and out of season. Amen

Prayer 

Heavenly Father, may your name be glorified. In you I put my trust. Adorn me with your glory and let your will be done in my life. Amen
