Trust in God

TRUST IN GOD

Signifies that confidence in, or dependence we place on him. This trust ought to be,

1. Sincere and unreserved, not in idols, in men, in talents, riches, power, in ourselves part, and him part, Pro 3:5-6.

2. Universal; body, soul, circumstances, 1Pe 5:7.

3. Perpetual, Is. 26: 4.

4. With a lively expectation of his blessing, Mic 7:7. The encouragement we have to trust in him arises,

1. From his liberality, Rom 8:32. Psa 84:11.

2. His ability, Jam 1:17.

3. His relationship, Psa 103:13.

4. His promise, Isa 32:16.

5. His conduct in all ages to those who have trusted him, Gen 48:15-16. Psa 37:25. The happiness of those who trust in him is great, if we consider,

1. Their safety, Psa 125:1-5

2. Their courage, Psa 27:1.

3. Their peace, Isa 26:3.

5. Their end, Psa 37:37. Job 5:26.
