They Trusted

Psalm 22 says,  “In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them.

To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed.

It’s imperative, if we want to build trust in the Lord, that we recall His faithfulness to others who are older than we are. 

If you have parents who trusted God, ask them to share their stories with you of his faithfulness.

If you don’t have that heritage, find older friends in your church and listen to them tell you of how God came to their rescue and delivered them.

If you don’t have parents who loved God, or you don’t attend a church, you’re missing a key ingredient in your walk of trust with God.

We must hear, over and over again, of God’s faithfulness to others.  This builds our faith.  When we share our own needs, these people of faith will pray for us.  They will encourage us.  They will hold us up.

God is a trustworthy God.  He delivers.  He does not disappoint.

Perhaps you feel as though he has disappointed you, but that’s because you didn’t receive the outcome you prayed for.

Trust in God’s loving kindness, realize that he is reliable and strong, and then bring to him your needs.  Share your needs with others, and listen to their encouragement. 

Trust in Him, and he will deliver and rescue you.  He loves you.
