Trusting God

The other day my daughter shared with me that when her son was little, he started looking through the back of her hair. His little fingers were just combing through it, separating each strand. She said, “Hudson, what are you doing?” He said, “I’m looking for the eyes in the back of your head.” Haha! He was so accustomed to her being able to know what he was doing even when she wasn’t looking at him that she’d kiddingly explained, as many of us parents have, “I can see you. I have eyes in the back of my head.”

Well, we parents certainly wish we did have eyes in the back of our head so we could watch out for our little children and warn them if they were getting into something they shouldn’t or about to hurt themselves. No, parents don’t have that capability, but there is someone who does: our Heavenly Father. He watches out for us and over us. Learn more about how God is our Rear Guard.

Thank You, Lord, for watching out for us and over us.

Have you ever come to the conclusion that there are few people you can really trust? When we’re told one thing and then find out the person never intended to follow through on their promises, it’s disheartening. That’s why we appreciate descriptions of God like we find in Psalm 18:30, “As for God, His way is blameless.” 

Once again the Bible reiterates what we need and long to hear—that we can look to and fully trust our Lord. He is blameless, which in Hebrew means “whole, entire, sound, complete, wholesome, unimpaired, having integrity, entirely in accord with truth and fact.” 

Reread the definition of blameless and celebrate and praise the Lord for who He is. Confidently voice your faith in Jesus Christ. Let the integrity of the blameless Lord shine through you. 

Lord, thank You that I can look to and trust You, Your Word and ways, BLAMELESS One!

Do you have a problem? Are you in a quandary regarding what to do about something? Have you talked to Jesus about it? Why talk to Him? The answer is because Jesus is a God of intelligence, skill, and insight. Look no further than the creation which proves His wisdom and understanding. 

Proverbs 3:19 tells us, “The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding, He established the heavens.” 

The Hebrew word for understanding in Proverbs 3:19 means “intelligence, skill, and insight.”

In other words, when we look at the earth and heavens, we see evidence of God’s intelligence, skill, and insight; His understanding of how all things work to His glory. 

You can trust the same God who created the heavens and earth to give you wisdom, intelligence, skill, and insight for your daily needs, decisions, and relationships. Pray and listen to His still quiet voice. Walk by God’s Words and Spirit. 

Lord, thank You for Your UNDERSTANDING, Your intelligence, skill, and insight. I praise You that You are an approachable God to whom I can come regarding problems and decisions. Thank You for the wisdom and insight You provide.
