Simplified Meaning:

Trusting someone often makes it easier to follow their advice or instructions. This idea also applies to how people relate to God and His promises. Think about a student who trusts their teacher. If the teacher says, “Study this way for the test, and you will do well,” the student, trusting the teacher’s experience and knowledge, is more likely to follow that advice. Because the student believes in the teacher, they are more willing to act on what the teacher says. In a similar way, if people trust God's promises, they are more likely to follow what God asks them to do. They have confidence that what He says will lead to good results. For example, if someone believes God's promise to take care of their needs, they might feel more comfortable giving to others without worrying about their own situation. Understanding and trusting these promises can lead them to live according to certain principles or rules that align with that faith. So, the stronger their trust in what God has promised, the more easily and willingly they might follow His guidance. It's like having a strong belief that someone reliable will keep their word and looking for different ways to live according to that trust. This approach can bring a sense of peace and direction to their actions and decisions.
