Not Put To Shame

We do not trust in God in vain....

NOT PUT TO SHAME

Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. 

Psalm 56:3  

For the Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. 

Romans 10:11 

Do we trust in God in vain? If we listen to those who carp and cavil against God and faith, we will conclude that trust in God is a vain and fruitless exercise. When Paul was writing to the Romans, he addressed this issue by saying, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.’ Within the context, Paul is referring specifically to salvation. The verses following our text say, ‘For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.’  The most important issue in relation to our trust in God has to do with salvation. No other issue supersedes this one. Therefore, when we come to the matter of whether it is vain to trust in God, this is the first priority. If we can trust God for our soul’s salvation, we can trust Him for all the things that are less than that. Therefore, if we are trusting Christ with our soul and will not be put to shame, we can be sure that He will oversee all the other affairs which respect us. If a sparrow does not fall to the ground without His knowledge, and we are of more value to Him than many sparrows, then He will see to it that all is well with us. We shall not be put to shame.  

Our Holy, Unchanging God, 
we rejoice that You have given us every reason to trust You. 
We praise You that our trust in You 
is not in vain.
