Trust God - Inspirational & Motivational
Trust God to single-syllable words that you have heard forever but you will discover as time passes how difficult they are to obey trust god of course I have no way of knowing what the future holds for you you may lose your home and everything in a fire you may lose your spouse to an early disease detected but not cured you may lose your dreams your hopes you may lose a relationship that you have cultivated over the years all losses are painful we pray just as hard for my father when his health went downhill as we did for my mother we quoted the same scriptures we ask God to restore his health to let him live but my father went to be with the Lord it didn't happen the way I wanted there will always be unanswered questions why didn't my loved one making why am I not getting better why did this person leave some things are not going to make sense but God wouldn't have allowed it if he wasn't going to bring good out of it you may not see it at the time but God knows what he's doing he has your best interest at heart it's not random it's a part of his plan trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight all your heart all your ways trust trust but what about when things aren't going our way our prayers aren't being answered the problem isn't turning around we're not seeing favor too often we get discouraged to thank God why aren't you doing something you can see I'm being mistreated my health isn't good
I worked hard but I didn't get the promotion we think when it changes we'll be happy when I meet the right person when my health improves when we have this baby then we'll have a good attitude that's conditional trust God if you meet my demands if you answer my prayers the way I want on my timetable then I'll be my best
The problem with conditional trust is there will always be things we don't understand something that's not happening fast enough it didn't work out the way we wanted if I would have had conditional trust I would have gotten upset bitter God why didn't you answer my prayers
The truth is God did answer my prayer it just wasn't the way I wanted are you mature enough to accept God's answers even though they're not what you were hoping for God is a sovereign God we're not going to understand everything that happens faith is trusting God when life doesn't make sense God doesn't take us in a straight line
They'll be twists turns the disappointments the lost the bad breaks they're all a part of his plan but if you have conditional trust you'll get discouraged and think why is this happening I'm going the wrong way but God is still directing your steps trust him when you don't understand trust him even when it feels like you go in the wrong direction
Living worried frustrated disappointed that takes our passion it steals our joy and it can keep us from seeing God's favor sometimes the closed doors the disappointments they are simply a test God wants to see if we'll trust him when we don't understand it when life doesn't make sense we have to show him that we don't have to have the house to be happy if we don't have the baby we're not gonna live bitter and sour you believe in for your health to improve but when you can say if it doesn't get better God I'm still going to honor you I'm still going to be my best when God sees that you don't have to have it many times like him God will give you back what you were willing to give up
