4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting
rock. ESV
Trust is complete and total confidence. No circumstance, no situation, no instance of activity or event in this world can crush, distort, or change this type of confidence that you can have in Christ, if your faith is strong.
Faith is developed through spiritual growth.
Spiritual growth is developed through a daily study of Bible doctrine, and the application of that doctrine to ones daily life.
The Lord Jehovah, ‘Jah Jahovah,’ doubled, here emphasizes the power the strength of God.
This power and strength, is His active and ongoing power and strength which is never idle, but in continual motion and action.
Thus, our faith needs likewise be in the same continual motion and action, and never set aside especially in times of stress, burdens or pressure, especially when life seems hopeless.
For in God there is no such thing as hopelessness. Likewise in our faith, there should be no such thing as hopelessness, only patience to see how life’s situations will work themselves out.
And of course this does not mean that we become passive and do nothing, but proactive and utilize the resources that God has given us.
Bible study and growth serves to open our eyes to the many resources that God has provided.
