God Is Trustworthy

God Is Trustworthy "My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arm shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust." Isaiah 51:5 How much do you trust and have faith in God? Do you believe that He sent His son to die on the cross for your sins, and offer you a gift of an eternal home in Heaven? There are many that don't accept this free gift, either because they are having too much fun, living a life of sin, or they don't have enough trust and faith or that God is trustworthy. A few weeks ago a friend sent me a story. A group of scientists and botanists were exploring remote regions of the Alps in search of new species of flowers. One day they noticed through binoculars a flower of such rarity and beauty that its value to science was incalculable. But it lay deep in a ravine with cliffs on both sides. To get the flower someone had to be lowered over the cliff on a rope. A curious young boy was watching nearby, and the scientists told him they would pay him well if he would agree to be lowered over the cliff to retrieve the flower below. The boy took one long look down the steep, dizzy depths and said, “I’ll be back in a minute.” A short time later he returned, followed by a gray-haired man. Approaching the botanist, the boy said, “I’ll go over that cliff and get that flower for you if this man holds the rope. He’s my dad.” His whole assurance was based on the fact that his father was trustworthy. I want to encourage you today, and let you know that Our Heavenly Father wants us to place our entire trust in Him and is pleased to show His faithfulness, and that he is trustworthy. We can trust Him always and depend on him to hold us even when it seems we are on the very edge! Robert W. Brock My Daily Devotional Volume Six December 13
