Journey to Trust - Days 20 & 21
Words on "trust" from those much wiser than I:
"God's commands are designed to guide you to life's very best. You will not obey Him, if you do not believe Him and trust Him. You cannot believe Him if you do not love Him. You cannot love Him unless you know Him."
Henry Blackaby
"Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?"
Elisabeth Elliot
"Worry is the antithesis of trust. You simply cannot do both. They are mutually exclusive."
Elisabeth Elliot
"Trust is faith that has become absolute, approved, and accomplished. When all is said and done, there is a sort of risk in faith and its exercise. But trust is firm belief; it is faith in full bloom. Trust is a conscious act, a fact of which we are aware."
E.M. Bounds
"Saving faith is not just believing that Jesus lived and died. Faith that saves is the confident, continuous confession of total dependence on, and trust in Jesus Christ to meet the requirements on your behalf to give you entrance into God's Eternal Kingdom. It's the surrender of your life in complete trust to Him to do what you cannot do."
John MacArthur
"We cannot always trace God's hand, but we can always trust God's heart."
Charles Spurgeon
