This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives…”(See Jeremiah 17:5)

Have you been at a place where the person you trust the most let you down? It felt like the end, right?  It takes awhile for the shock, anger and feelings of hopelessness to go.

Anyways, I have been there and it’s an experience I don’t want to repeat, ever! I don’t have trust issues, but I have learned to trust God with all my heart.

If you have trust issues or have had your trust abused, here is the Good News: God can never ever violate your trust in Him: HE is absolutely trustworthy. 

Paul in His epistle to young pastor Timothy wrote this about God:

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.” (See 2Timothy 2:13,NASB).

Faithfulness, loyalty, and trustworthiness are all interrelated and who God is.

Our picture post tells briefly how the people of Manasseh defeated their unrelenting foe simply by Trusting God. 

In this season where lying is trending, my weapon of choice for confronting real life challenges is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. 

Because I believe in God and stand in faith in His Word, doubts do not assail me. It is easy to discern falsehood, misinformation, ideologies, etc that are being programmed into our world to frustrate our faith in God.

I am totally free from confusions about what, or who to believe.  The heart of man is desperately wicked. Only God can understand it. Therefore, I’d rather Believe in God and hold unto His Word for clarity.

Prayer:

Father God thank you for your Word that has cleared away all the webs of confusion in my heart.

My heart fully trusts you and obeys your Word. I am programmed to live above fears and live victoriously in Christ Jesus’ matchless name.
