Trusting God

Labels:

When you feel empty and defeated, turn to God for help, because he is the source of your strength. If you feel like God isn’t by your side, it’s definitely a sign that you are doubting his presence. When Jesus' disciples' boat began to sink, they had no idea that Jesus was testing them. They panicked and screamed, believing they were going to die, and Jesus responded, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" (8:25–26 Matthew).

It's difficult to hold on to all of the promises we've learnt during the good days when we're in the midst of a storm. But often, our faith is tested to see if we are practicing and applying God's word.

When you have Jesus as your foundation, you can not be moved or shaken (Matthew 7:24–27).

 The only secure foundation on which we can expect to stand is Jesus. He is the foundation of who we are and what we aspire to be. He is the solid foundation of our faith. We are invited to abide in Christ, to rest in His love, to rely on Him in all situations, and to give Him our cares and anxieties regardless of the storm we find ourselves in. May we take to heart Christ's simple exhortation to live by faith in His promises rather than doubting.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
