10. “But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Bible Verses on Trusting God Not Man

When you find yourself in critical situation people may tell you sweet words and mighty promises but don’t risk putting your trust in them because they cannot act like God.

I trust man so many times and I suffered great disappointment. I implore you to keep trusting God and not anyone. The following Bible verses helps to strengthen your faith in God:

1. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5)

2. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

3. “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.” (Proverbs 29:25)

Bible Verses on Trusting God’s Plan

It took me too long to realize that my analytical sense puts me in more troubles than good when I refuse to trust God’s plan for my life. But I am a living witness today that trusting God to implement His plan in one’s life gives peace, victory and abundance.

Meditate the following Bible verses and keep trusting God to beautify your life:

1. “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

2. “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (Genesis 28:15)

6. “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (1John 5:14)

Bible Verses on Trusting God’s Timing

My experience with the LORD shows that His timing is different from human timing. If care is not taken you can impatiently seek the dangerous fast lane of the Devil which looks attractive.

But trusting God’s timing for your life saves you from a regrettable and bitter life. The Bible verses below can help you to learn trusting God patiently:

1. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrew 13:8)

2. “For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore, you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.” (Malachi 3:6)

3. “Trust in the LORD forever, For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.” (Isaiah 26:4)

4. “And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.” (Psalm 9:10)

5. “Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” (Psalm 37:3)

6. “Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.” (Psalm 143:8)

This life is not smooth and it cannot be free of trials due to the presence of the Devil. Can we give the excuse of Devil’s presence to the LORD for our distrust in Him? No! He sent Jesus Christ to redeem us from the stronghold of the Devil.

So, start trusting God in all aspect of your life and you would enjoy your temporary time on earth and the eternity.
