July 5 Evening Devotional | Trust in the Lord Forever! | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Evening, July 5 | “Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.” —Isaiah 26:4 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 26:1-4 (NASB)

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city;
He sets up walls and ramparts for security.
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter,
The one that remains faithful.
The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You.
Trust in the Lord forever,
For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.

Devotional Video Transcript:

Seeing that we have such a God to trust, let us rest upon him with all our weight; let us resolutely drive out all unbelief, and endeavor to get rid of doubts and fears, which so much mar our comfort; since there is no excuse for fear where God is the foundation of our trust. A loving parent would be sorely grieved if his child could not trust him; and how ungenerous, how unkind is our conduct when we put so little confidence in our heavenly Father who has never failed us, and who never will.

It would be well if doubting were banished from the household of God; but it is to be feared that old Unbelief is as nimble nowadays as when the psalmist asked, “Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?” (Psalm 77:7 NASB) David had not made any very lengthy trial of the mighty sword of the giant Goliath, and yet he said, “There is none like it.” (1 Samuel 21:9) He had tried it once in the hour of his youthful victory, and it had proved itself to be of the right metal, and therefore he praised it ever afterward.

Even so, should we speak well of our God, there is none like unto him in the heaven above or the earth beneath; “To whom would you liken Me and make Me equal and compare Me, that we would be alike?” (Isaiah 46:5) There is no rock like unto the rock of Jacob, our enemies themselves being judges. So far from suffering doubts to live in our hearts, we will take the whole detestable crew, as Elijah did the prophets of Baal, and slay them over the brook; and for a stream to kill them at, we will select the sacred torrent which wells forth from our Savior’s wounded side. We have been in many trials, but we have never yet been cast where we could not find in our God all that we needed. Let us then be encouraged to trust in the Lord forever, assured that his ever-lasting strength will be, as it has been, our deliverance and comfort.
