Since we have such a trustworthy God, let’s put all our trust in Him. Let’s get rid of all doubts and fears that spoil our peace, because there’s no reason to fear when God is the foundation of our trust. A loving parent would be deeply hurt if their child couldn’t trust them, so how much more unkind

and unfair is it when we put so little trust in our heavenly Father, who has never failed us and never will? We’ve been through many trials, but we’ve never been in a situation where we couldn’t find everything we needed in God.

We were told about a new road, so we tried it and found it rough at the start, muddy along the way, and ending abruptly, leading nowhere. The old road is steep and hard on the knees, but we’ll stick to it because it leads to our destination. The doctrines

of grace and the disciplined life aren’t appealing to the flesh, but they’re safe, time-tested, and lead to peace. Others may say, “We won’t walk in this way,” but since we’ve found rest for our souls on the good path, we’ll keep to it.
