“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.” Psalm 125:1 (NIV)
As we journey through life, our desire to know God should grow deeper. We draw nearer to Him through prayer, reading the Word, worship, and even stillness in His presence. Lamentations 3:55-57 reminds us that God hears us when we cry out. His nearness and faithfulness to His Word assure us we can trust Him through every trial.
Faith often grows in seasons that demand sacrifice, endurance, and spiritual warfare – but these are also the places where we experience God’s greatest victories.
The Bible gives us powerful examples. Abraham’s faith was so steadfast that it was counted to him as “righteousness” (Romans 4:3). Joseph clung to God’s promises through betrayal and imprisonment and, in the end, saved a nation (Genesis 50:20). Job endured intense testing yet declared, “Though he slay me, yet will I hope in Him” (Job 13:15 – NIV). God restored him with double what was lost (Job 42:10).
Even now, we see believers live out this same trust exhibited by men and women of the Bible. They walk through hardship yet stand firm – because their hope is in the Lord. Philippians 4:7 speaks of a peace that “surpasses all understanding,” while 1 Peter 1st:8 (KJV) calls our joy “unspeakable and full of glory.” We receive not only spiritual fruit but health and victory, for the Lord delights in blessing His children (3rd John 1:2, Exodus 14:14).
Trusting God doesn’t mean life will be easy, but it does mean we’re never alone. He is our “ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). He calls us to seek Him with our whole heart (Jeremiah 29:13), and in return, He gives wisdom, strength, comfort, and direction.
God’s track record is flawless. He has never failed – and never will. His love is eternal (Psalm 136:1), and His promises are sure. If you’re weary, uncertain, or struggling today, call on Him. “Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you…” (Psalm 55:22 – NIV).
There is peace, joy, healing, and victory for those who trust in God. Like Mount Zion, your faith can stand firm, unshaken by the storms of life. Why not place your full trust in Him today?
