DO WE TRUST JESUS

“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”

Nahum 1:7 KJV

We should never expect our family and friends to be perfect and never fail us because all of us, including me, are human and we are not perfect.  Sometimes we hurt people without intending to do so or even realizing we hurt them.  We should always trust Jesus because He is perfect and He will never hurt us or fail us.

Arthur Luther wrote one of my favorite hymns “Jesus Never Fails”.  I believe he wrote this hymn from the depths of his heart.  “Earthly friends may prove untrue, doubts and fears assail; One still loves and cares for you, One Who will not fail”.  I believe all of us know from personal experience that Jesus never fails.

Do we trust Jesus when we are going through crises and dark valleys?  Jesus is faithful to us.  He won’t leave us when we are going through crises and dark valleys.  He will pick us up and carry us through all the dark valleys and will set us once again on the mountain top of happiness. 

Louisa M. R. Stead wrote the inspiring and beautiful hymn “’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus”.  Do we trust Jesus even when we are going through difficult times or do we think He is going to fail us?  Jesus has proved to us we can trust Him.  Can Jesus trust us to keep serving Him even when we feel like giving up?
