As christians, we hear a lot about faith and the importance of trusting in Jesus. The beautiful song “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” by Louisa M.R. Steed expresses so beautifully the peace of having real faith in our Lord and Savior. “Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word, just to rest upon His promise, just to know, thus saith the Lord”. Oh, that we could all sing and rejoice and sing this chorus “Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, how I've proved Him o’er and o’er, Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, Oh, for grace to trust Him more”. Pray and ask God to give you more faith, He will. Pray for the kind of faith that will not waiver when we are faced with heavy trials. Pray that your faith will keep you trusting in Jesus even when your bank account is empty, the doctor just delivered a grim diagnosis, or you just lost the most precious person in your life. Pray for more faith when every fiber of your being is screaming for proof that there is a God. When we have an unshakable faith in Jesus, we can be at peace not only during the good times, but in the darkest, most difficult times as well. Yes, Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.
Psalm 56:3 KJV - What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
Isaiah 26:3 KJV - Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
John 14:27 KJV - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV - (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
