God is trustworthy; whatever He says is truth and you can bank with it! Peter displayed such trust at the Master’s Word on the lake of Gennesaret. The Lord Jesus had just used his boat to preach to the multitude that thronged Him. Afterwards, He instructed Peter to cast his net into the sea. The only reason Peter obeyed was because it was the Master that spoke, since the circumstances were against that instruction. The result was a harvest so great he had to call in another boat to help with the catch (Luke5:5-7).
Abraham also demonstrated such trust in God when He told him to leave his native country- a place he lived for many years and owned much property. He forsook all immediately, in obedience to God’s Word to him. Abraham didn’t ask God, “Where to?” He just gathered his family and belongings and went, not knowing where he was going but trusting that the Lord who said “Go!”, would show him where. When you trust God, you will see farther than you can ever fathom.
What has God told you to do? What vision has He brought into your heart? The reason He gave you the instruction is because He knows you can do it, and when you obey Him, it will turn out for your good, even if you don’t see it yet.
