“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him…” Job 13:15
It takes a man who has a deep love, reverence and trust for God, to utter these words. Job as at the time had health issues, with his wealth and children gone, was being judged by his friends and was told by his wife to curse God – but with all these, he said,
“Even if God kills me, I have hope in him…” (Job 13:15 NCV).
What a heart! Abraham trusted enough and was willing to kill his only son; Peter, James and John trusted enough and were willing to leave their ‘fishing nets’ and join Jesus to be about his Father’s business; Noah and his sons trusted enough to build the ark, even though they were alone at it. These men trusted God without reserve.

They were “out of their natural minds.”
Take time and reflect on your level of trust in God. Have you built trust in the Word of the Lord, or are you quick to discard God and His values when the going gets tough? Can you trust Him with such reckless abandon even when things are going wrong? Will your love and reverence still stand firm amidst the mockery and discouragement?
Proverbs 3:5 says,
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
When the scripture says ‘lean not’, it means that your own insight or understanding is not solid enough to carry you through.
You may not understand His ways: still trust.
He might seem far from you: remember He will never leave you, nor forsake you.
God’s Word is solid enough to carry you.
Trust God’s Spirit; obey His word and see yourself win in life.
DECLARATION:
Against all odds I’ll keep trusting. I adhere to, believe in and rely on God daily.
