PROMISE #52 - FEBRUARY 21
Promise #52:
You can trust in Me for I will never forsake you.
Psalm 9:10 (WEB)
Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
When we know who God is, it is easy to trust in Him. When we are convinced that He is loving, kind, and gentle, we can risk again and entrust our hearts fully to Him. If we are convinced of His goodness, we can trust Him.
Giving our Father the gift of our trust is the greatest gift we can give Him. When we trust Him, we lower our defenses and open our hearts fully to Him. When we trust Him, we will not lean to our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6) but completely yield to His leading in our life. I believe that when we begin to trust God in a simple, childlike way, it moves His heart like nothing else that we can do.
In today's promise, we read that our God and Father will never, ever forsake those who trust Him. He is unwavering in His commitment to us. He will never leave us or forsake us. For those of us who struggle with the fear of being abandoned, I pray that the reality of our Papa's goodness and closeness would drive all fear out of our hearts (1 John 4:18) so that we can fully trust Him.
***
Responsive Prayer:
Father, I thank you for being worthy of my trust and for never failing me. So today, I choose to trust in you with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding. I willingly cast every care upon you, knowing full well that you care for me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
