My Daily Meditation
In Whom Do You Trust?
The word trust, (according to the KJV translation), appears in the Bible, approximately 130 times. In most cases it is used in relation to putting one’s trust in God. So today, who do you trust to deliver you from the judgment to come? If you trust in good works, it won’t work. If you trust in man, man will fail you. If you trust in following the golden rule, that is your own morality, it too will fail. The only way to be assured of your place in God’s Kingdom is to accept Christ as Savior. Place your trust in Him to confess you to the Father. He is a faithful witness and will give testimony on your behalf before the judgment throne.
God is my strength, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower and my refuge: my Savior, thou hast saved me from violence.
The Second Book of Samuel Chapter 22:3
10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seek thee.
The Book of Psalms Chapter 9:10
22 The Lord [a]redeemeth the souls of his servants: and none that trust in him, shall perish
The Book of Psalms Chapter 34:22
9 Yea, we received the sentence of death in ourselves, because we should not rest in ourselves, but in God, which raised the dead.
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver us: in whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliver us.
The Second Epistle to the Corinthians Chapter 1:9-10
10 For it became him, for whom are all these things, and by whom are all these things, seeing that he brought many children unto glory, that he should consecrate the Prince of their salvation through afflictions.
11 For he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one: wherefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy Name unto my brethren: in the midst of the Church will I sing praises to thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, here am I, and the children which God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, that he might destroy through death, him that had the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 And that he might deliver all them, which for fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For he in no sort took on him the Angels’ nature, but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high Priest in things concerning God, that he might make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.
The Epistle to the Hebrews Chapter 2:10-18
Read One Psalm a Day
Psalm One Hundred Eleven
1 I will praise the Lord with my whole heart in
the assembly and the congregation of the just.
2 The works of the Lord are great, and ought to
be sought out of all them that love them.
3 His work is beautiful and glorious, and his
righteousness endureth forever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be had
in remembrance: the Lord is merciful and full of
compassion.
5 He hath given a portion unto them that fear
him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath showed to his people the power of
his works, in giving unto them the heritage of the
heathen.
7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment:
all his statutes are true.
8 They are established forever and ever, and are
done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath
commanded his covenant forever: holy and fearful
is his Name.
10 The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the
Lord: all they that observe them, have good understanding:
his praise endureth forever.
