C.Personal Notes
Trusting the Lord means to rely upon Him and Him alone. Since trusting has something to do with someone’s character, then truly we can place our confidence in Him for He is worthy of our trust. He is someone who does not lie, because He says that He is Way, the Truth, and the Light. Since He says He is the truth, therefore, He is someone who does not lie. The Bible is His Word and therefore anything in it is true and I can rely on its accuracy.
Although, I have not seen Him in person I can still trust Him because there is so many evidences written in the Bible that He truly exists and there is no other God but Him.
Trusting the Lord requires faith and faith is hoping for things that you cannot see. To simply put it, faith in the God is to believe in who He says He is and that what He says through His Word is true.
Faith brings hope that whatever trials that I go through or will go through, it is just temporary and I can call on the Lord for help and He will help me go through it. It is written that when I cry out to Him in distress, He will hear my cry and answer my call.
D.Personal Prayer
Lord, I pray that today reveal yourself to me in a very personal way through the power of your Holy Spirit. Today as I go through this day, I declare that no matter what happens I will trust in you in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
