Trust God

Devotional: 

“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act.”

Psalm 37:5 (HCSB)

In this text, commit means “to roll.” It paints the picture of rolling the weight of your entire life onto God. This suggests actively entrusting your journey to Him. Earlier in Psalm 37, the psalmist identifies the remedy for worry and envy: to trust in the Lord.

In Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow, we see how trust fueled her determination to keep returning to the judge. She kept asking. She kept pressing for what she knew was rightfully hers. Undeterred by delay or resistance, she stayed close to the source of her answer. Her persistence was not rooted in striving or desperation. It was rooted in expectation, a steady confidence that something would change if she remained in position.

Persistent prayer is not about begging God to do something He is unwilling to do. It is trusting His timing, even when the odds seem not to be in your favor. True faith is revealed in those who keep coming. The widow clung to expectancy rather than anxiety. If you feel like giving up, shift your heart from worrying to trusting.

Someone striving would say, “I have to keep pushing to make it happen.”

Someone trusting God would say, “God is faithful, so I won’t stop believing.”

Reflect: 

In what areas do I need to stop striving and start trusting, rolling the weight of this concern onto the Lord?

One Step Forward: 

What have you been carrying? Release it to God in prayer, saying out loud: “Lord, I trust You with this.”
