Growing in Trust!

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
May 05, 2026: SOAP #5997: 2Samuel 10; 1Chronicles 20; Psalm 20; Matthew 22

SCRIPTURE:  Psalm (NIV) 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

OBSERVATION: Everybody puts their trust somewhere.  I do not think we can live without putting trust in someone or something.  Every relationship requires some trust.  To develop a deep, close relationship takes learning how to trust.  Through trial and error we learn to trust someone, and they learn to trust us. 

Through trial and error we learn who or what is worthy of our trust.  If it passes our trial, we give more trust.  If it fails, we withhold our trust. 

APPLICATION: The more I know the Lord, the more I trust the Lord.  The more I test His word, the more I learn to trust Him. 

Trusting Him; it is so logical.  He is so able!  He is so trustworthy!    

PRAYER:  “Jesus, Jesus, How I trust you! How I’ve proved you o’re and o’re.  Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus! O for grace to trust you more.” (William J. Kirkpatrick)  Amen.
