Trust an old-fashioned word a present-da

Trust an old-fashioned word a present-day need
Ruth 3:10-17
“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid.” V11
Boaz was asking Ruth to put her trust in him that he would fulfil her request. Ruth had to step back now and let Boaz do only what he could do. There are times when we simply need to take our hands off situations and stand back and trust.
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”Psalm 20:7
Whatever God starts, He finishes. What He does, He does well. He can be trusted.
Trusting is easy when there’s nothing to have to trust God for.
Trusting is easier to sing. It is easier to have trusted than it is to begin to trust.
We do become anxious, we do become uncertain as to the way ahead. We do get feelings of insecurity. One moment we can be God’s man of faith and then we can be empty. We can even have times when we question whether we are a Christian at all. We know its possible to defect from Christianity. We know of many who have done this very thing. We read in the Bible of people like Hymenaeus and Alexander who shipwrecked their faith. So it’s very possible. How do I know that I haven’t already shipwrecked my faith? When one problem after another comes, when the clouds of depression gather its easy for anyone to question whether they have fallen from the faith.
What we forget is that we are not unusual. Every person of faith is a sinner and a doubter.
Our security never depends on how sure we are of ourselves, but because we trust in the name of the Lord our God who is sure for us. We cannot put our trust in our performance, in our health, in our righteousness, in chariots and horses. But God is trustworthy. He can be trusted.
The aim of fear is to try and get you to blow your destiny. Trusting in God and His Word will prevent that happening.
