Trust the Son

"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him." (Psalm 2: 2 KJV)

Salvation is promised to those who "kiss" and "put their trust" in "the Son." Faith is placing trust. It is believing and receiving Christ and truth.

"But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee." (Psalm 5: 11 KJV)

Those who put trust in the Lord are they who are promised joy and blessing, and assured of divine protection. Those who trust in the Lord are the same as those who "love thy name."

God and Christ the Son are to be trusted because they are trustworthy.

"Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint." (Proverbs 25: 19 KJV)

Confidence and trust in God and in Christ is to put trust in one who is faithful to his promises, one who will not "let down" those who trust in him.

Men are called and invited to place their hope, confidence, and trust in the Lord. They are called to forsake all objects of trust other than God and his word.

Father, teach us to trust. Help our unbelief.
