In God We Trust

On the American Dollar it says ‘In God We Trust’ - the dollar goes up and down in value, as do our words at times. “In God we trust” what value do we put on that statement? 

“When we are in fear we can do nothing less than pray to God, but our Lord has a right to expect that those who name His name should have an understanding confidence in Him. God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the reliable ones. 

Our trust is in God to a certain point, then we go back to the elementary panic prayers of those who don’t know God. We get to our wits end, showing that we have not the slightest confidence in Him and His government of the world; He seems to be asleep, and we see nothing but breakers ahead.

‘O you of little faith!’ What a pang must have shot through the disciples- ‘Missed it again!’ And what a pang will go through us when we suddenly realise that we might have produced downright joy in the heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in Him, no matter what was ahead.

There are stages in life when there is no storm, no crisis, when we do our human best; it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely. If we have been learning to worship God and to trust Him, the crisis will reveal that we will go to the breaking point and not break our confidence in Him.”

Psalm 52:8,9.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;

I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

I will praise You forever, because You have done it;

I will wait on Your name, for it is good.

Quote from Oswald Chambers - (Utmost)
