We have been talking about trust the last few days. The Hebrew word for trust also includes the meaning of hope. It is not a constant anxiety but a confident expectation!
Read what God says will happen to you when you put your trust in the Lord. Read them now but when you get time, you’ll want to look up these Scriptures in your Bible and read them over—and share them with your children.
You will not be afraid (Psalm 56:3, 4, 11; 91:2-10; 112:7, 8; and Isaiah 12:2).
You will not be ashamed (Psalm 25:2, 20; 31:1; and 71:1).
You will not be condemned (Psalm 34:22).
You will not be disgraced (Psalm 22:5).
You will not be shaken (Psalm 21:7 and 125:1
You will be blessed (Psalm 2:12; 34:8; 40:4; 84:12; and Jeremiah 17:7).
Your will be a fruitful tree even in drought (Jeremiah 17:8).
You will be happy (Proverbs 16:20).
You will rejoice and shout for joy (Psalm 5:11; 28:7; and 33:21).
You will be safe and secure (Proverbs 29:25).
God will know you and care for you (Nahum 1:7).
God will act on your behalf (Psalm 37:5).
God will be your buckler (Psalm 18:30).
God will cover (protect and shelter) you (Psalm 5:11 and 91:2, 4).
God will deliver you (Psalm 21:4, 5; 37:39, 40; 91:2, 3; and Jeremiah 39:17, 18).
God will help you (1 Chronicles 5:20; Psalm 28:7; 37:39, 40; and 115:9-11).
God will preserve you (Psalm 16:1).
God will save you from those who rise up against you (Psalm 17:7 and 86:2).
God will be your shield (Psalm 18:30; 115:9-11; Proverbs 30:5).
God will store up His goodness for you (Psalm 31:19).
Don’t these Scriptures cause you to say, “Thank you, Lord”?
Remember, trusting in the Lord is the opposite to fear. Please don’t succumb to all the fears the media are putting upon you. They are lies from the enemy. Did you know that Satan’s greatest weapon is fear? It immobilizes you. Paralyzes you. Traps you in its snare. Instead of living in triumph and victory, you live in despair.
Proverbs 29:25: “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”
Cast out fear and start confessing out loud and day by day your trust in God.
Wouldn’t you rather trust God than anyone or anything else?
Be blessed today.

P.S. And if you are brave enough, you can look up the Scriptures of what God says when we trust in man rather than in Him: Psalm 78:17-22; Isaiah 30:1-3, 5, 7; 31:1, 3; and Jeremiah 17:5, 6.
