We cannot trust God depending only on what we understand. So many people simply cannot trust God, because they only depend on what they understand. Our understanding is so limited, but what God can do in our lives extends far beyond our understanding. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
We trust God relying upon him, depending upon him, and putting our faith in him. We can do that, when we really believe that God is always trustworthy. He will never lead us into error, nor direct us down the wrong path. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths(Proverbs 3:6).
We trust God believing his word. The Bible is God's word written for all who trust him. It is God's covenant word. He promises with an oath to perform his word in our lives. LORD is God's covenant name. It's his personal name. He wants a personal relationship with us day by day, as we walk with him in his word. Believe his promises. Trust his word.
We trust God believing his providence is at work in our lives. He works in the details of our lives. His providence is guiding us, when we understand and when we don't understand. He has a plan for our lives. He leads us as a shepherd leads his sheep, and he will direct our paths.
