Trust
God works in the silent areas of our lives.
Don’t allow your thoughts or previous ways to prevent you from trusting in the Lord.
Take the leap and trust Him to guide you safely in Him.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.—Proverbs 3:5-6
31 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. —Psalm 46:10
You are never hopeless when you hope in God.
Keep trusting. Keep believing. God has the final word over your situation.
Trust God and not doubt. He knows exactly what you’re going through. He knows what you need when you need it. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Trust in His timing. Trust His process.
Like this bird, we trust certain things to happen. A chair won’t break if we sit in it. Our paycheck will come to our account on time. Saturday will come after Friday. As we trust in these, let our trust also be in God, who loves us, cares for us and provides everything we need to live before Him and His people in faith, love, and integrity. Trust in the Lord today.
From our childhood, we have always wanted loving and trusting relationships.
We wanted the very best from our parents.
We wanted teachers who give their all to help us learn.
We wanted mechanics who do not cheat us, but tell us exactly what is needed to keep our cars running properly.
We wanted pastors who lead us with honesty and integrity.
We wanted spouses and friends who are loving, committed, and supportive through the highs and lows of life.
We grow up with these desires and expectations. But somewhere along the way, we are disappointed and let down. Our parents are not as loving or supportive as we thought. Not all teachers want to inspire children. Some mechanics do cheat people. Pastors violate our trust. Spouses and friends hurt us and leave us at our most vulnerable moments.
There are times when we face difficult situations that seem overwhelming and impossible to overcome. These situations cause us to be scared, angry, and consumed with anxiety. We want to know everything will turn out alright, but we can’t see it. It seems that the opposing group is having their way. They may have the position, authority, money, and resources to be ‘victorious’ over us, but we have someone on our side that they don’t…the Lord.
In Matthew 14:22-33, Jesus sent His disciples away in a ship while he sent the multitudes of people following them away. While the disciples were on the seas, they were tossed with waves and a strong wind. Early in the morning, Jesus walked on the sea toward the ship. When the disciples saw Him on walking on the seas, they were afraid, but He told them who He was and not to be afraid. Peter cried out to Him and said, “Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.”
Jesus said “come,” and Peter walked on the water toward Jesus.
1. Trust is a journey between two rivers of life. When God desires us to trust Him, we know it will stretch our mind, will, and capacity of our current standing. It will cause us to give up our desire to control people or a situation and move into the ‘unknown.’ What is unknown is not what God said, but how things will end up for us.
