All in Trusting in God

Trusting solely in God, this is my contemplation this morning. There is none but Him who is true and always dependable. He is worthy of our trust and His Word never wavers. Yet, despite this knowledge, we have a tendency to place our confidence in our own ability to resist temptation, and each other’s loyalty and selflessness. By doing this we find ourselves disappointed over and over again, and yet we persist in this behavior. We are fallible, and in being such we have the propensity to let others down that have put their trust in us, but God never fails us and His Word is forever true. Even Jesus acknowledged the inability of man to be trusted.

When we are called by God do we respond with reservation in our voices? Do we tremble as we step forward? Or, does our fear prohibit us from stepping forward at all? These are the things we will contemplate this morning. In order to gauge our own willingness to serve God with total confidence in His provision, we only need to look at the life of Jesus. He chose to live a life of nothing and had nothing. God provided for Him... He sent the Magi with gifts that might sustain Him in His youth, and thus began God's provision. Jesus received as He needed... all this He did that we too might receive riches in glory.
