He Is Trustworthy

The 1971 Alka-Seltzer commercial made famous these words "try it, you'll like it" when a waitress suggested a particular entree to a customer. He tried it and ended up with Alka-Seltzer for his dessert. I admit there are foods I've refuse to even taste; ultimately, I cannot say with confidence whether I like them or not. The psalmist writes of God, "The works of His hands are truth and [absolute] justice; all His precepts are sure (established, reliable, trustworthy)." (Psalm 111:7 AMP). The establishment, reliability and trustworthiness of God are not dependent upon me or you: "Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all those who delight in them" (V.2). His very eternal (unchanging, unwavering) nature is sure and steadfast ... that is, whether we believe it or not! I can refuse to believe gravity is what it is and does what it does, but gravity itself remains unchanged by what I think; I can refuse to acknowledge gravey and it will not end well for me. The wisest way we can act toward God is to respectfully and reverently "try it, you'll like it" ... trust Him and He will prove Himself to be all that He is and do all that He says He will do. "Put Me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need." (Malachi 3:10 ESV). What hinders you today from trusting God with all your fears of uncertainty? God can be trusted because ... He is trustworthy.
