Trusting in the Lord: A Recipe for Unshakeable Confidence
A Life of Unwavering Hope
When we place our trust in the Lord, making Him our rock and salvation, we can expect a life of unshakeable confidence. As Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NLT) so eloquently puts it, “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.”
Deep Roots, Unshakeable Faith
These trees, deeply rooted in the Lord, are not troubled by the scorching heat or worried by prolonged periods of drought. Their leaves remain vibrant green, and they continue to produce fruit without ceasing. This is the promise of God’s Word: when we trust in Him, we can expect a life of fruitfulness and vitality, even in the most challenging circumstances.
A Life of Peace and Calm
As we walk through our daily lives with confident expectation in the Lord, we can experience His blessing and calm in our hearts. Our circumstances may remain difficult, but His strength will steady us, His comfort will touch us, His peace will wash over us, His presence will encase us, His wisdom will guide us, and His love will surround us.
Feasting on God’s Goodness
So let us feast our hearts and minds on all that God is today. Let our roots draw water from the deep well of His love, and let us be blessed and refreshed. As we do, we can expect a life of unshakeable confidence, unwavering hope, and unrelenting joy.
A Prayer of Trust
Father God, life is full of cares and challenges. There are times of drought and uncertainty. Thank You that You are all I need. Thank You that You will guide me and shepherd me through the maze of life as I trust You with my whole heart. Increase my faith today as I trust You with the cares of my life. I thank You and pray this in the strong name of Jesus. Amen.
