Faith through God's Word: Finding Trust in the Scriptures

 

"So that your trust may be in the LORD; I have instructed you today, even you." - Proverbs 22:19

Solomon wrote wise instructions and right advice about every area of life. In this verse, he states the purpose of writing them: so that the reader learns to trust in the Lord. Hearing God's Word produces faith.

Not only the books of Solomon, but the whole Word of God, produces faith. He who knows God's Word, knows His promises, he learned to trust God in every situation. Such a person does not lose hope, not because they are optimistic, but because they have seen that God is faithful to His promises.

Blessed are those who trust in God; God's mercy surrounds them (Psalm 32:10); they have perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3); they have joy (Psalm 33:21); they are safe (Proverbs 29:25); they are steadfast (Psalm 125:1).

So, I will listen, believe, and apply the Word of God. As a result, I will learn to trust in the Lord, and I will be blessed.
