We can’t see God. We trust God by trusting His Word. The psalmist writes, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105, NASB). Sometimes, what God says to us through His Word will defy all human logic. If everything He says to us must make sense to us before we act, we can’t effectively live the Christian life.
Sometimes, God challenges us to trust Him in areas where we think we don’t need His input. The church has too many people who choose to trust themselves and their own ability instead of trusting the Word of God. But the writer in the book of Proverbs warns us that what seems so right to us can turn out to be so wrong (Proverbs 14:12).
People say insanity is doing the same thing you did before but expecting different results. But what if the Lord asked you to do what you did unsuccessfully before, but to expect favorable results this time? That was the case with Peter and his fishing partners. After fishing all night and catching nothing, Jesus said to them, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch” (Luke 5:4, NASB). Peter obeyed the Lord, and their boats began to sink. That’s what can happen when you trust the Word of God.
