“Because of your promise and according to your will, you have done all these great things and have made them known to your servant. “How great you are, O Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you. We have never even heard of another God like you!” (2 Samuel 7:21-22 NLT)
Whom do you trust?
These days, it's not easy to find many people who are true to their word. At some point, we all learn the hard way that anyone other than almighty God can disappoint us. God will never ever disappoint us. Let's look at the Lord's character to discover why He can be trusted.
First, He is the one true God. Back in Old Testament times, it was common for people to actually carve and worship a false god. Today, people will make a false god out of something we cannot see or touch, such as wealth, power, fame, or relationships. These can consume our passion, money, and time—and in the end leave us fruitless and empty. Jehovah – God Almighty, on the other hand, is alive and real, ready to be personally involved in our lives.
Second, God is truth, and He is always faithful (John 14:6; 1 Corinthians 10:13). Unlike sinful man who we cannot trust, we can trust God—and everything that He says will happen is already done. Our sovereign God has all power and is in control of every situation.
Third, Christ loves us without limits. How can we ever doubt His love when He willingly gave His life in our place? And His love is based not on our behavior or importance, but rather on His Name alone.
Fourth, the heavenly Father is unchanging. All of the above are timeless qualities that will forever be true.
God can be trusted. So don't give Him just the easy concerns or things that do not seem that important. Nothing is too big or too small for God. We can confidently and boldly call on our Creator for everything. He desires a personal relationship with His beloved and is able to guide each believer through life victoriously.
Worship is not about what we have done for God, what we can do for Him or what He can do for us.
Worship is experiencing what God can do in us, through us and with us. God wants to do something in us, make something of us and pour Himself into us. Who we are means much more to Him than what we have. How we repay Him with what we do is of more value than how much we could ever repay Him with our checkbook, and how we can honor Him seven days a week is far superior to how we honor him only one day a week. It’s been said, “If you do not live it, you do not believe it.”
What place does God have in our lives today?
In a changing, doubting world, we have a Friend who is 100 percent reliable.
Believe it?
Live it.
