Trust and Contentment
Trust and Contentment
Trust. It is a word we are familiar with and hear so often that we may have become numb to it. It’s repeated throughout Scripture and talked about often in Christian communities. But what does it really mean to “trust in the Lord” day in and day out?
Trust is wholehearted reliance and dependence—the belief that God will always come through for us. When we fully trust God, we don’t have to worry about the future. Trust frees us from fear and allows us to surrender our desire for control and our need to take matters into our own hands. It gives us the freedom to faithfully serve wherever He places us.
Our trust in God grows when we choose to find satisfaction only in Him. When we delight in Him, we see more of who He is, and our hearts are filled with wonder. As we come to know Him and His promises, our natural response is to trust Him! It’s a beautiful cycle.
Let’s choose to find all joy and contentment in Jesus, rather than the things of this world. When we do, the desires of our hearts become the same as His, and He is glorified!
Observations from the Text: God gives us hope. He has great love for us. He will not let us be overcome by our circumstances. He is compassionate towards us.

Crying Out to God You’re feeling overwhelmed by the world and its unreasonable demands; you’re tired, pressured. At the same time, your heart is burdened with the suffering in your nation, your world, your neighborhood. You are kept up at night wondering where one can begin to heal the wounds that cut so deep into the heart of everything we know. Living in such a broken, hurtful world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. It also makes it so apparent how much we need God. Fasting is a practice that has been used by ancient Israelites and early Christians as a way to realign their focus on God and his provision for them. As we consider also setting aside distractions in our life for a time, let’s cry out to God, the One who meets every need:
