Trustworthy God

Psalms 7:1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

Praise the Lord!

Today we will meditate upon the trustworthiness of God. Psalmist David calls our God as trustworthy because David experienced God's favor and love.

Psalms  118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

So, why would anyone trust God?

1. You can trust God because He saves you from your persecutors.

In your christian life; there would be many who would persecute you for his name's sake. But Lord will deliver your soul from all persecution.

Psalms  34:19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

2. You can trust God because He delivers you from your enemies.

In your walk of life, whenever you have experienced people who are against you and create trouble in your life. You can trust God to deliver you from your enemy.

Psalms  42:10  As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

3. You can trust God because He is God of all beings.

Lord has challenged all those who calls themselves as god and He shows his prowess in saying there is nobody like Him.

Hosea  13:4  Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

So God is trustworthy for his children. But there is always two sides of coin.

How can a believer gain that trust from God?

1. Clean Hands

A believer needs to check whether they have any sin or iniquity in them. Our God is an impartial God. He is not respecter of people.

Psalms  18:24  Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

2. Clean Heart

Whenever you face strife and fight in your life. Do you have the heart to forgive your perpetrator? Do you return evil for evil?

Matthew  5:39  But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

3. Clean Soul

We are always mindful about our future. We try every means to secure the future. We devise lots of plan and seek counsel from people to secure our life. Jesus said we should be mindful about our soul. All the riches and the toil of your hands are vanity.

Luke  12:19  And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.  

Luke  12:20  But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

Proverbs  23:15  My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

God's heart rejoices whenever he sees a wise heart.

Saints,

We always trust people and friends because they promise you that they will be for you in all your life. But, seldom we realize that they are human and cannot be trusted.

Isaiah 2:22 Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?
