Scripture Reference

Psalms 7:1 – “O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,”

“God deserves your trust.” I read this line in the commentary of my Experiencing God Bible this week. And that is where I want to take us today. God does deserve our trust. Here are 3 of my personal reasons:

1. He alone is trustworthy and will never ever break your trust.

2. He will save you.

3. He will deliver you.

TRUST – for such a small word, this word is powerful and can either make or break relationships.

Merriam-Webster defines trust as assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something; one in which confidence is placed.

Life Application Questions

1. Do you believe God deserves your trust? Why or why not? If not, what can you start doing to get to that place of trusting Him? Do you need to explore God’s love for you? Do you need to study His character, His abilities, His strength? Do you need to seek His will for your life?

2. If you are in a difficult season, have you let go of how you think things should be and just trust God with the path you are and the outcome?

3. Is there anyone in your life that needs encouragement to completely trust the Lord?
