In Psalm 2:12 we read, “Blessed are all those who put their trust in the Lord.”
Do you remember back when you were learning to ride a bike? It was nothing
more than a trust issue. There came a time when you had to take off the training wheels, and place your feet on the pedals, and allow the bike to take flight down the driveway or the street.
No textbook, no parental word of advice would accomplish the mission. But once you made the leap of faith, you never again lost the aptitude for bIke riding. Why? TRUST!
To experience the fullness of worship, we must TRUST the One we worship. And to TRUST Him, we must know Him in a personal way. Have you ever felt as if you knew all all the facts about God but your prayers never passed the ceiling? Have you ever sung a hymn without being able to bring the words to life? Have you ever realized that your morning devotions have become a dry Bible study rather than a warm visit with your Heavenly Father?
We need TRUTH, and we need sound theology. The right information is essential. But above all else, we need RELATIONSHIP. Once we’ve come into His powerful and loving presence, we’ll never struggle to TRUST Him again any more than we’ll have to take a refresher course on how to ride a bike.
