I have had more than one situation in my life where my life was on the line of life and death... It not until was not after it has happened I have come to realize that God has, and is intervening and protecting me every time. He knows every detail of my life, and has led me thus far, but I still at times, I struggle to trust Him in certain areas of my life. Life is a Journey, I know God is working in me, and He will complete what He has started.
Verses about Trusting God: (only few of the many)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:28-31
God calls us to trust in him with every aspect of our lives. We are His children, and like a child runs to a father, we run to God. Not only in times of need, but both is in the good and the tough. He is Lord of all. Constant and never changing.When I think about this concept I am overwhelmed. We serve the God of the universe, He created everything...You, me, the world and everything within. There is over seven billion people on earth and God of the universe wants a relationship with me?!
Life gets complicated...and many things sometimes distract us from the ultimate goal. Life is a marathon. Spiriting a marathon will not get you far before you get exhausted and overwhelmed. (I have experienced this!)We press on toward the goal with perseverance. This comes day by day. Be the best you can be today. Give your worries to God and let him be Lord of your life!
I thought of a interesting analogy (though it has its flaws): Life is like a puzzle. All the pieces are there, but we may not know where they go together, until other pieces start to reveal it. God wants us to trust Him, He will reveal in due time certain things about our life- our purpose, job, significant other, every detail he knows ahead of time. Picture will be complete in the end. There are many things that we have no control over. Let go, and give these things to God. Ask for wisdom for the things that you can control.
When you want truth, you need to go to the source. Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life. (John 4:16)
He is the only way to God because we are sinful that opposes the very nature of God. Jesus intervened and took our place on the cross to give us life.
Know the truth. Know life and live with joy that Christ has set us free!
