Trust God

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

What does it mean?

Does it mean believe in God but use your head?

I believe that trust and belief are two different things

While one is a total surrender of your will

The other is opinionated, in line with experience,

Orientation and environment

It is easy for one who seems advantaged to keep faith

But keeping faith when everything is out of place, is trust

Trust believes when there is no reason

Surrenders when there seems to be a clear understanding

And keeps faith when life seems to be a mess

Friends, believe me when i say this

There are situations in life that belief and faith alone cannot cater for

That is where trust,

(i.e a total surrender of your will, training, feelings and understanding) comes to play

Think about the 3 Hebrew boys, Shadrac, Mishac and Abednego’s statement

when faced with the fiery furnace, (summarized in 3 points)

i.                     Oh king we will not bow to your image

ii.                   We know our god will save us

iii.                  But even if he does not save us, we still would not bow

Friends, life will throw darts at you, don’t be bitter, it’s all part of living

You may fail at that which you have mastered, Life can be funny

Expectations will fail and you may face your fears daily

But understand that

Any ship that is afraid to face the waves remains stagnant

Running is actually moving against the forces unseen

(Wind resistance, friction, gravity)

The only comfortable position we are allowed is laying down (Stagnancy)

If you must get anything done, you must fight the odds

Everyone needs something to believe in

If you believe in God, surrendering your will to him will make your life easier

Imagine a son travelling with his father,

through a path he doesn’t know but keeps worrying if his father is on the right path?

Clumsy right?

That is how we are when we decide to trust our understanding

Instead of surrendering our will to him

God might not turn up when you want him to but he is never late.

Make a decision to

Trust in the Lord with all your heart by

Not leaning on your own understanding

 He will show up for you, He always does!!!
