You would think that trusting the One who does the most for me and loves me unconditionally is a no-brainer; however, sometimes we just don't think like that. I am actually LEARNING to trust God, it's a work in progress. My natural instinct, probably deriving from my stubborn nature, is to rely on myself to solve issues that arise, not wanting to wait for "God's timing" or believe that He can direct a terrible situation back into a better place. But you know, I have come to a place now that I don't have any option BUT to trust in God. I just can't fix everything like I used to THINK I could. So when I want to jump right in and find solutions on my own and find myself stressing/worrying - that is when I have to FORCE myself to take a step back and remember that I have to put it in God's hands.....He knows best, not me - and sometimes He really surprises me with the ending to a bad situation. You know how you watch a movie and it's "okay" but then you get to the ending and it was a real pleasant surprise? Well I'm finding more and more when I turn my life and everything in it over to God, he does that! He comes up with a WAY better ending than I could have imagined, and it actually makes SENSE at the end, in retrospect.
Learning to trust God is a self-disciplinen issue. It means when I get that temptation to be in control or in charge, that is the very MOMENT I need to drop to my knees and give it all back to Him, let Him guide my steps back to the path He has for me, because if I'm following Him then I can't go wrong.
Just a thought for the day........this is a wonderful verse for me to reflect on at this point in time.....
56:3 56:2my enemies trample upon me all day long, for many fight against me proudly. 56:4 56:3When I am afraid, I put my trust in thee. |
