Trust God Completely
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
The essence always of our trust is to trust in the Lord, the object of all grace, and in him only; in the Father, as the God of nature and providence, for all temporal blessings; and as the God of all grace, for all spiritual blessings, and all the needful supplies of grace; and for eternal happiness, which he has provided, promised, and freely gives. We should trust in him at all times; in times of affliction, temptation, and darkness and confusion.
There is a great deal of reason for it; all power and strength are in him to help; his love, grace, and mercy, move him to it, and are always the same: the consideration of what he has done for others that have trusted in him, and for ourselves in times past, should induce and encourage us to trust him more.
We as well trust in the Son; in his person for acceptance; in his righteousness for justification; in his blood for pardon (Eph. 1:7, Col. 1:14); in his fulness for supply; in his power for protection and preservation; and in him alone for salvation and eternal life.
Also, we trust in the Spirit, to carry on and finish the work of grace upon the heart; of which a saint may be confident that where it is begun it will be completed. (Phil. 1:6)
And this is with all our heart.
CONFESSION
I place my trust in God at all times
I do not depend on my own ability
Amen!
