Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear. John 4:18 NKJV

As we grow up spiritually we develop trust as the truth of God's Word and character as well as His love, promises are revealed. Let's look at God's Word and see what is says about trust.

John tells us in 1 John 4:18 NKJV There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We know the synonyms for fear are: terror, dread, anxiety, horror, distress, fright, panic, alarm. God’s Word does not tell us that these feelings are God’s desire for us, His children. Yes, we are to have reverential fear, respect and awe of God, who He is and His mighty power but not cowering in fear and dread. However,
- Psalm 111:10 NKJV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.
- Proverbs 1:7 NKJV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction
- Proverbs 14:27 NKJV The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death.
We are to fear nothing and no one but God with the reverential fear that is due Him.
- Joshua 1:9 NKJV Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
- 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”.
- Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
- Job 13:15 NKJV “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him”
- Psalm 56:11 NKJV In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
- Isiah 41:10 NJKV Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Beloved, trust in the Lord...
