What trust is

Jeremiah 17:7

“[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.” AMP

We have been studying trust or trustfulness as an expression of the fruit of faith. Let us look at one more day because the Scriptures say a man who can trust the Lord is most blessed and I believe you want to be that person. Some more things to know about trust:

  

  1.     Trust is a learned response. This means you trust as a result of what you learned by experience. That is, in your dealings with someone, you will only trust if you have found the person to be trustworthy. Your experience of God will affect your ability to trust Him.

Ps 9:10

“And they who know Your name [who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy] will lean on and confidently put their trust in You…” AMP  

  

  2.     Trust grows by feeding on God’s word. 

Ps 18:30

“As for God, His way is perfect! The word of the Lord is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him.” AMP

  

   3.     Trust is  commitment.

Psalms 37:5

“Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.” AMP

Psalms 20:7

“Some trust in and boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust in and boast of the name of the Lord our God.” AMP

Put your trust in God today and you will be most blessed.
