Trusting God
To trust in God means that we have confidence in Him. It is having an assured reliance in His character and His ways. When we trust in God, we are confident that He is faithful and true.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. — Proverbs 3:5-6
Trusting God often feels easy when life is going smoothly. But when life is challenging and we don't understand why we are going through something difficult, it's easy to doubt and remove our trust in Him.
When I am faced with something that does not make sense to me, I ask myself this question: Do I need to understand everything about God in order to trust Him? Very quickly I realize that my answer is, "No. How could I?"
God is perfect; I am imperfect.
God is infinite; I am finite.
God is all-knowing; I get my wisdom from Him.
God is all-powerful; I am weak without Him.
God is always present; I am only in one place.
God is always kind; I can be kind sometimes.
God is love; I am loving at times.
God is always faithful; I have broken promises.
In our lives, we have two options: Trust God or trust ourselves. And if I read the list above one more time, I have to ask myself, "Why would I choose to place my trust in my own limited understanding?" We will not always understand God and His perfect ways, but we can determine today to stand on His promises, even when times are bleak, and trust that He is always working out His plans.
Make your day great!
