Have you ever been disappointed by someone you trusted? Have you ever been so scared you simply didn’t know what to do? Have you ever had a broken heart? Have you ever been so financially drained you didn’t know how you’d ever be able to make it? Have you ever felt alone with no one to turn to or nowhere to go? These are just a few difficulties that we may go through sometime during our lifetime.
Well, “let me tell you about my Jesus”. When life seems uncertain, God ALWAYS knows what is going on – we can trust Him to carry us through. God tells us to trust Him with ALL our heart rather than leaning on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Whenever we trust Him and seek His will in EVERYTHING we do – He will ALWAYS show us the paths to take.
God will always show us the path to take.
You see God has perfect timing. Isaiah 60:22 tells us that when the time is right, the Lord will make things happen. He doesn’t ask us to figure everything out. He asks us to trust Him because He already has things figured out. God is always in control even when your circumstances may seem out of control.
Ephesians 6:10-18 also reminds us that God is ALWAYS with us, yes, even in the worst times. His presence is with us – protecting us and working for us. He empowers us with everything we possibly could need to face those difficulties that confront us. We have the POWER of His Holy Spirit and the Spiritual Weapons we need to stand against the devil’s evil schemes.
When you’re feeling helpless and are unsure of what to do next, follow God’s commands, follow the Holy Spirit’s leading, and truly trust God to work everything out for your good. God will lead you through those storms in your life if you simply put your trust in Him. When bad things happen, instead of becoming so absorbed with all the negative circumstances coming against you, FOCUS on GOD – His character, His power, and His love. Trust GOD!
The word TRUST can be found throughout the Bible. The Hebrew word batach, which means trust, is found in the Old Testament 120 times. The Greek word peitho, which means trust or having confidence in, occurs 53 times in the New Testament.
No matter what you’re going through, look to heaven’s promises. Trust in God to carry you through, to protect you, and to provide for you. God will NEVER let you down. His faithfulness is consistent and worthy of your confidence. Romans 10:11 tells us that whoever believes in Him will NOT be disappointed. You will ALWAYS be better off trusting God than relying on someone or something else. Allow God the chance to show Himself strong and mighty in your life.
