Knowing the character of God

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5,6

When you know the character of God, you are able to trust Him with all your heart. Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit about them. They believed that Israel should enter the promised land immediately. What made them so wholehearted? “Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. So that day Moses solemnly promised me, ‘The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the LORD my God.’” Joshua 14:9,10 Joshua could wholeheartedly follow the Lord because He trusted Him. They had spent time with God and knew what Jesus said was what to move on. Do you find it easy to take God at His Word. We are blessed to not hold onto our fears and worries and instead trust Jesus in every step.

Heavenly Father,

I know I am able to trust you Jesus, because you are the epitome of what is true and faithful. Help me lean on you every day, following you wholeheartedly.
