Trust and Rest
Trust in the Lord (Psalm 37:3).
The word trust is the heart word of faith.
It is the Old Testament word, the word given to the early and infant stage of faith.
The word faith expresses more the act of the will.
The word belief explains the act of the mind or intellect.
But trust is the language of the heart.
The other has reference more to a truth believed or a thing expected.
Trust implies more than this.
It sees, feels and leans upon a person, with a great, true, living heart of love.
So trust in Him, through all the delays, in spite of all the difficulties, in the face of all the denials, notwithstanding all the seemings, even when we cannot understand the way, and know not the issue; still “trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.”
The way will open, the right issue will come, the end will be peace, the cloud will be lifted, and the light of an eternal noonday shall shine at last.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight”.
Proverbs 3:5-6.
