Romans 2:13
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

“Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” We all naively sing the words to this familiar Christian hymn without giving them much thought. These important words convey exactly the heart of the Bible’s message.
The secret of spiritual growth, peace and blessing is simply trusting and obeying the Lord.
Christians often think that the secret of being “happy in Jesus” is found in some other method–like “spiritual experiences”! No! The divine method for happiness and blessing is full trust in God and complete obedience to His word. Lack of faith and partial obedience does not only result in unhappiness and loss of blessing, but they also bring serious consequences in the life of the believer.
Trust is a critical element to faith, the scriptures teach that we trust God by believing that His word is true, by obeying His word even if we don’t understand it and following His will, no matter how difficult it is and depending on Him to see us through a step-by-step plan to His will and directives.
We must recognise that God is trustworthy and trust in Him above everything else says Psalm 33:21.
Before Abraham could receive his promise from God, he had to follow God’s instruction to relocate which wouldn’t have been easy, especially when he had no idea of what was ahead of him or where God was taking him and the sacrifices that will be required of him in Genesis 12.
Abram was tried whether he loved God better than all and whether he could willingly leave all to go with God. The command God gave to Abram, is much the same as the gospel call, for natural affection must give way to Divine grace.
With God’s plan for Abraham unfolding in stages, Abraham had to learn to trust God one step and stage at a time.
Do you trust God? Will you obey what He tells you?
To trust God and obey His scripture more than listening and knowing, we are obligated to live an obedient lifestyle. Obedience is a faith requirement. It proves our faith genuine when trust and knowledge are followed up by obedience.
Some people don’t like taking any step until they understand the finer details, but spiritual things do not work like that, you must believe to see, declares Hebrews 11:1. The first step into the Jordan river was what was needed to part the river in Joshua 3:14-17.
God is always in the details and leaves nothing to chance- Jude 24, stake the first step and God does the rest. We must trust and obey God while waiting on Him to fulfil the promises made to us in His time and way. He promises to meet all our needs, in Matthew 6:33 and Philippians 4:19, as He did the children of Israel in the wilderness, He will supply all our needs if we trust and obey.
We are not made righteous by the Law, but only through faith and absolute reliance on and trust in Jesus Christ. Trusting Christ for salvation means we cease trusting in our efforts to make us righteous.
Trust God and obey Him, He will greatly bless you.
Shalom
