Trust in the LORD

That the LORD is our rock and salvation, and deliverer is a common phrase used by the Psalmists to describe God as someone whom they place their hopes on. Isiah 26: 1-4 is no different.

Thus, seeing an icy fog turn into a sunny morning looks like an impossibility, but nature has a strange way of surprising us. In Malaysia, we could experience a gloomy, rain filled day turning into a bright sunny day too, although usually once there was rain the temperature is slightly lower and thus once in a while, we in tropical Malaysia could experience a cool breeze despite the sun shining brightly. It’s not a common occurrence like in a cold climate country but nevertheless it happens.

Even as nature, created by God, points to changing weather, we whose spiritual father is our Heavenly Father can trust in the LORD that our lives will not be hard and difficult all the time and all the way. The gloom will turn bright. There will be a rainbow 🌈 that reflects God’s glory in our lives, and one day, we will find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Strive on and work hard. Put our trust in the LORD. The day will come when we may put our struggles behind us and be thankful that we persevered on in the LORD. Don’t give up hope or trust in other gods or look to other spiritual forces. Put our full and complete trust in Jesus Christ and continue our walk in this journey of faith that will lead us to a life of eternity with God.

I like to end today’s message with Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.“
