Do You Trust God?
A lot of people will be quick to answer the affirmative, but when you are faced with trials and tribulations how well do you hold unto God? That's the important question.
In life its very hard to smile at times, through things that happen,that you don't understand or know if you are gonna get through it.
But you have forgotten tha God has promised to help and be your strength;
Isaiah 41:10
"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."
A lot of people are angry at life and other prople because of the situations they find themselves,the storms in their lives and how long its going to last before it all goes away, God has a PLAN.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Its scary to know the number of people who feel like they are worth nothing forgetting that they are God's 'Perfect Imperfect Creation',be patient he has ordered your steps,he will guide, shield you and be your wings.
Psalm 91:4
"He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings, you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."
Stop doubting yourself, you can't do this, you can't do that, thinking about the things you wished you have or didn't have and in the process forget what you do have,it really is no use wishing be THANKFUL rather for the highs, the lows and the joy to come.
Romans 8:18
"The pain that you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming."
Psalm 31:1
"in thee o Lord do I put my trust, let me never be ashamed : deliver me in thy righteousness.
There are certain times God ask us to do something ,but we don't, we think we know better,we question his omissions, he is all knowing, he knows everything from the beginning to the end.Why then do we question someone who already knows the outcome?
God sets up seasons for us to help us trust him to show us how trustworthy he is, within the period of learning to trust God, some people don't learn, they don't understand the concept of the process "trusting God when it doesn't make sense"
They don't have the relationship with God to know that he has the best interest at heart for them.
All these lack of faith and trust they never get to the next level, which is the season of blessings, abundant blessings prepared for them by the lord.
Everybody wants this season but nobody wants to go through the period of trusting God, the period of tribulations.
Unfortunately a lot of christains put themselves in this situation. If not for anything knowing how much God loves you is enough reason to put your trust in him.
He is not going to lead you to something that will tear you down but rather build you up so you can have a blessed life.
Happy Sunday!!

Thank you, i am grateful!
I agree with you, it is not our response to the theme question that matters, but our attitude towards what God says. If you trust someone that means you will believe what he said. The fulfilment of past promises God made makes it even more possible for us to trust him. Thanks for sharing.
Totally trusting perfect plan for us "His perfect impefect creatures" requires faith in order to unlock our season of blessings on the other side of tribulation.
I really love this "Unfortunately a lot of christains put themselves in this situation. If not for anything knowing how much God loves you is enough reason to put your trust in him.

God does have a plan, he always do thats why its important to ask the question to ourselves regularly, how well do we trust him, if we do then the first thing to do is eradicate worry and doubt.
You have raised a very vital point in your post yes it's quite easy for people to say they trust God, meanwhile only the test of trials and tribulations can prove that. Just look at Job's wife who had everything going for her, but she never had the courage to trust God, in their time of distress.
Trusting God comes with the test of Kurt faith, it comes with endurance, however if we as mankind can trust in God, he will give us an expected end, better than we started
Things change when Jesus Christ assumes control of our lives. We become new creations and are transformed into instruments for service to God. We no longer try to earn our way to God through works. We live our lives by the law of faith, and we become ambassadors for him. We grow in our understanding of who God is and learn to trust him more day by day. The love of Christ molds our attitudes, thinking, and behavioral patterns. Jesus Christ progressively gains control over all aspects of our lives. And we in turn, are able to accomplish great things for him; things that will last for all eternity!
Trusting God is simply believing that He loves you, He’s good, He has the power to help you, He wants to help you, and He will help you. Christians are called believers, but many times, we are more like unbelieving believers. We trust our friends, the bank, the stock market or the government more than we trust God and His Word.
In John 15:5, Jesus says that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We need to lean on Him for help with everything in our lives. Sadly, a lot of people go to church, hear what they should do and then go home and try to do it on their own. They usually end up desperately telling God how hard they’re trying to do what they need to do, and they’re leaving Him out!
God wants us to put Him first in our lives. He wants us to put our confidence and trust in Him, all the time, in everything.
When you call your self a Christian be ready to trust him with all your body and soul.
He worthy to be trusted
If you say you believe in God then you have to trust him. He is the heavenly father who gives without taking back. He is able to turn your life around. If you don't trust God then you've no faith in him. He attends to those who trust him.
