In the military there is one phrase that is repeatedly drilled into our heads: “Trust your training.” As a unit forming into place, every person is thinking about what their next move will be. Will it be to lay down cover for their brothers in arms or will they be the first to lead the next movement?
Every decision made in the military is based on this one phrase, “Trust your training.” The reason this statement is so powerful is not only that it’s representative of the many hours of training each soldier goes through but also the lessons that have been tested. Each and every lesson you are taught in training has been put into motion in some aspect of life. It has been tested and found to be truth. Therefore it is a key element to all successful teams. In other words learn from others, both the negative and positive.
Being a Christian falls right into where this holds true. Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, believing in Him and turning your life over to Him has been tested and found to be a valuable and wise decision. Not only has this decision been tested in the good times but it also has been tested in the bad times. We can look around at any given moment and see many of the things we have been taught. We can see God move in people’s lives. We see where those in despair have leaned on those things they have been taught.
There is no better time than today to take a lesson from what others have learned and put it into place in your own life. You may not even want to “trust the training” yourself but others have already put those things to the test for you. Your training will tell you Jesus desires a relationship with you. In return for your belief He gives you the promise of eternity. We all need to just “trust our training.” He is worthy. Nahum 1:7 says, “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows those who take refuge in Him.”
