ISAIAH 26:4: TRUST
What does the word, trust, mean to you? To me, it is an
unwavering belief and reliance on someone or something. We are told many places
in scripture to trust the Lord. The fact is that he is the only one worthy of
our trust. For us to trust anyone else more is idolatry. Isaiah 26:4 is one
such place that gives us the command to trust God, but even more than that, we
are also given a reason for this command. There are two things we must observe
from this scripture.
Isaiah 26:4
English Standard Version (ESV)
4 Trust
in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Trust in the Lord Lasts Forever
Trust in the Lord does not waver;
nor does it end. The command here is to trust him forever.
We Trust Forever Because He Is
Everlasting
The reason we are to trust the Lord
forever is because he is everlasting. The God of the universe, author of our
salvation, our help at all times, and the rock we can rely on is everlasting.
He will never end. For that reason, we are to trust him.
