Reasons To Trust In God
Road users come across traffic signs that are particularly helpful. Those signs keep you and others safe, and they may be your escape from racking up fines. Besides, they assure you that you are on course to your destination. It is not any different when we walk with God. He brings us assurances from time to time. Our lead scripture was one of God's assurances to Abraham.
"I am your shield", God assured him. A shield is a piece of armor used as a protection against arrows,bullets, or other weapons. Usually it is worn on the arm and positioned in front. When God told Abram that he was his shield, it simply means God chose to be his defense.
This is where we come in, whatever God was to Abram. He is willing to be his offspring. There are two sides to this, there are physical offspring, through faith. The promise that God gave to Abram was not only to him but also to his seed. Arguably then, God is a shield to all who are of the faith of Abraham. A seed of Abraham can boldly say, "God is my shield"! we can say by faith that God is for us, and we shall not fear what man will do to us. God's shield is impenetrable; as long as we abide in the confines of his grace we are safe.
Christians—Are those who follow Jesus Christ—are called “believers,” but many times we are more like them unbelieving believers. We trust our friends and family, finances,and our own ideas more than we put trust in God and His Word.
And this is what leads us to the why? Why is it necessary to trust God? When we accept Jesus christ, we give up doing things our own way and trust that He(Jesus) is going to work things out for our own good. The moment may not always feel good and nice, it may not even look like there’s a way for it to work out, but when we all surrender our worries, fears and concerns to Him, it demonstrates our complete trust in Him and He never ever lets us down! In fact, many times the Bible links the idea of trust with having complete faith.
Through time in the bible, there has been times when God saved his people miraclously. Which in turn goes a long to tell us to trust in God.
I will be showing us some passages in the bible that talks about miracles showing God's power!.
Psalm 77:14
You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
Exodus 14:30-31
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Exodus 34:10
Then God said, "Behold, I am going to make a covenant Before all your people I will perform miracles which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people among whom you live will see the working of the LORD, for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you.
Deuteronomy 3:24
'O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as Yours?
1 Kings 18:37-39
"Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again."
