God is trustworthy. Whatever He says is Truth and you can take it to the bank! Peter displayed this trust at the Master’s Word on the lake of Gennesaret. The Lord Jesus had just used his boat to preach to the multitude that thronged Him. Afterwards, He instructed Peter to cast his net into the sea. But Peter answered the Lord, “Sir…we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. but if you say so, we’ll try again” (Luke 5:5 TLB). The only reason he obeyed was because it was the Master that spoke, since the circumstances were against that instruction. The result was a harvest so great he had to call in another boat to help with the catch (Luke 5:6-7).
Abraham also demonstrated such trust in God when He told him to leave his native country - a place he’d lived in for many years and owned much property. He immediately forsook all in obedience to God’s Word to him. Abraham didn’t ask God, “Where to?” He just gathered his family and belongings and went, not knowing where he was going but trusting that the God who said “Go!” would show him where.
I tell you, when you trust God this way you’ll see farther than you can ever fathom. I love what Jesus told the scribes when He healed the man that was born blind at the Temple: “…I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind” (John 9:39).
What has God told you to do? What vision has He brought into your heart? The reason He gave you the instruction is because He knows you can do it, and when you obey Him, it’ll turn out for your good even though you don’t see it yet.
