What does it mean to Trust God?
How does it look like trusting God?
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)
To trust in the Lord means more than believing in who He is and what He says; the word here for trust can also mean “to have confidence in.” Having confidence in something means having an assurance that leads to action.
Trusting in the Lord is a faith that lets us boldly serve but new hearts are given by Christ through the Holy Spirit. We cultivate God-trusting hearts by meditation on Scriptures, time in prayer, and companionship with other believers. As these things tune our hearts to the Spirit living in us, we will rely less on ourselves and more on Christ, serving him in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, in the battle with sin and in the peace of his rest.
