TRUST- Part Four

God's Track Record - This is a Rehearsal

The confidence that the one in whom you depend upon will act according to why you depended on them in the first place.  There's another way to describe trust. We have determined thus far that Jesus pursued us to be in right relationship with us.  We have discovered His flawless character that is seen in the heavens and all of nature.  Today, we will look into the last key to determining how to find if one is trustworthy.

Consistency, being present and available; being celebrated, loved and backed up are all indicators of someone having a good track record.  Just like we can prove God's excellent character in nature, we can discover His flawless track record when we look.

The children of Israel were taught to keep track of God's magnificent acts.   They were slaves in the land of oppression, lack and not enough; the land of Egypt. They were crying out to God for help and He answered by sending a deliverer in Moses. He had heard their groaning and prayers. One day they were broke and oppressed and the next day they were wealthy and free.  He slaughtered their enemies in the Red Sea after sending them over on dry land. He kept them with just enough in the wilderness by providing manna and cold well water taken from a rock.  Their clothes and shoes never wore out while they were on their journey to their blessed place.  They crossed over the Jordan, walked around Jericho, shouted and took what God had given them.  God had given them what He had promised generations before to their fore Fathers.  They rehearsed what God had done over and over again, celebrating by having festivals and feasts; teaching their children the mighty acts of their God so they could know to trust Him. (See Psalm 78). Psalm 77 is one passage in particular where David had only seen hardship resulting from his circumstances, but in verses 11 and 12 he says, "Once again, I'll go over what God has done, lay out on the table the ancient wonders; I'll ponder all the things you've accomplished and give a long loving look at your acts." (Message).

Take some time to think, rehearse and ponder what God has done for you.
Keep a journal and a record of all of the great things that God has done for you. Rehearse them to yourself, with your spouse and children. Have a rehearsal with your family and friends, proclaiming the goodness of the Lord.  Give Him praise and thanksgiving for His track record in your life, especially in the tough times.  Rehearse them to the Father in your prayer time, hard times, rough times, great times and good times.  Remember how God sent you a deliverer in Jesus Christ.  When you were in Egypt, salvation had come for you.  When you were in the wilderness, He made sure that there was ample supply for you.  Prophetically speaking, this is the "table turning" season where your dreams, visions and desires will take you to the land of milk and honey; the land of more than enough.

Your Father is trustworthy; you were pursued with amazing, awesome love. You've seen His character and are able to prove that He is consistently and graciously good.  Now, all you have to do is to stay IN trust; walking by faith, not by sight and declaring the goodness of the one in whom you rely.

I pray that you have discovered and discerned how trustworthy our Father is through His Track Record.  Receive the word of The Lord and allow Him to fight on your behalf.
