TRUST IN THE LORD ALWAYS
When all else fails, we tend to finally shift our trust to the Lord. Yet Isaiah calls us to a better way. Trust in the Lord “always.” Those who try to take a stand on sand soon discover it only seems to work on sunny days. As soon as clouds and storms and seas rise, they find themselves sinking and everything they’ve built falling. But the LORD God, which is Jehovah (or Yahweh) never fails. He is the everlasting Rock.
And who is this Rock? Isn’t it Christ Jesus? For Christ is the stone the builders rejected (Matt. 21:42). He is the rock in the wilderness from which waters burst forth (1 Cor. 10:4). Those who come to Christ, trusting always in Him, will find salvation, peace, rest, and continuous refreshment for their souls.
Let us put our trust in the Lord always.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we trust in You and in Your Son, Jesus. For He is the Eternal Rock that you have set as the Cornerstone of Your church. Christ is the Rock on which we take our stand. We pull our trust off of lesser things and put our trust on You, O Lord. All good things come from You. And only You can save us and sustain us. Today, we again place our full trust in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
