Global Impact News 2025-02-27 159 8

Our everyday life is built on trust. Trust is having full confidence or reliance on someone or something. Throughout the Bible, God is described as a Shepherd who lovingly guides, protects, and provides for His people. Trusting in Him is the foundation of a life filled with joy, peace, healing, and divine direction.

Just as John 10:11 (KJV) says “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” This verse highlights our Lord Jesus identifying Himself as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep(us). This sacrificial love is the ultimate reason we can trust Him completely. Unlike a hired hand who flees when danger comes, Jesus remains faithful, ensuring our safety and well-being are ever sure.

A crucial aspect of trusting the Shepherd is listening to His voice and following Him. Jesus said,“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28, KJV). Jesus the shepherd of our lives wants the best for us, to keep us out of danger and give us eternal life. This is enough reason for us to trust Him. To trust the Shepherd means to attune our hearts to His leading through prayer, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit’s guidance. It involves obedience, even when the path is uncertain.

TRUSTING IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY
Life often presents challenges that test our faith. Yet, even in difficult times, we can find comfort in God’s promises. Just as the opening scriptures says, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV).

God’s guidance is sure and unshakable. Trusting Him means surrendering our anxieties and allowing Him to lead us step by step. He can never fail, He will never fail, He will do all He promised to do.

Trust is just like faith, must be directed to the Word of God. It must be based on God’s Word. It’s very crucial to put the Word into you especially in our current world. He knows our every need, protects us from harm, and leads us toward a glorious future. As we surrender to Him, we will experience the depth of His faithfulness and the joy of walking in His divine will. As Isaiah 40:11 (NKJV) says, "He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young." May we always trust in our Shepherd, knowing that His plans for us are good and His love for us is eternal.
