I Will Trust You
Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the LORD with all thing heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.”
Morning! I hope today finds you beginning a new day on a pleasant note. Through every day our thoughts and wonderings bring us to finding trust. We all have difficulty in trusting people, job security, family and even God. Once we give our hearts to God, we tend to just believe that life will turn out to be a bed of roses with thorn less flowers! Not even the most religious or devout Christian can honestly say that life has not had obstacles along the way. When we look closely at how our journey has been throughout this life; we will find that many obstacles were there for a reason. God placed a few things in the way because He was witnessing our faith and trust slipping away; or we went askew on the path He had carefully laid out for us! Our confidence and trust are what gives us our faith. Though our faith is the stronghold with acceptance of Jesus, our trust can never be guaranteed. Being human, we have willful choices, deliberate actions; all of which will help in growing your faith. When we let the anxieties of finances, health, or future plans crowd out our trust, it hinders our faith, and this not characteristics of people who have a confident trust in God. God has faithfully carried out His promises time and time again; even when we failed. Knowing God provides can build our trust. Understanding just how trust improves our faith in God, allows us to see how His plans for us are greater than our own expectations. Regardless of circumstances we endure through life, we are able to trust in the hope that we will one day spend eternity with God. Let us take today and work toward building our trust in God and all He is providing, and that He will be providing in the future!
