TRUSTING GOD ~ LKMilam

Day 1 Biblical Character Trait.

 TRUSTING GOD.

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. Psalms 125:1 KJV
I am trusting God for my health.  He is my strong tower and strength.
God takes a whole-hearted commitment from dawn till dusk. But we are not alone as we claim that commitment! Praise the Lord!
“. . .and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matthew 28:20b)   

I know that He is with me, and when I am weak He is my strong tower. When it is dark and I am alone, I know He is with me. I am nothing without Him.
Perhaps you’ve been told that as a Christian you must learn to, “trust in the Lord with all your heart.”  
But this famous passage from Proverbs 3 contains more than just a general statement about living. Instead, you’ll find the steps you need each day to truly walk with God.  
One of them is I cannot depend on myself. Verse 5 tells us that we must trust in the Lord and that I should not listen to my "wisdom". Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)  I do not know all of what the Lord is doing in my life and how my life will affect those I come in contact with.

We are people and people hurt, are disappointed, confused, and sinful. Because of this, we tend to be so "independent" we do not want to surrender to the Lord, and recognize the lesson God wants us to learn.  God intended for us to rest in God's understanding, not ours. We know in our minds that He possesses all wisdom:
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” Romans 11:33
But sometimes trusting Him completely like that can be tough. Every day we need to turn to Him, lay away our thoughts and plans and allow Him to Lead Guard and direct us . . following His plans.  And when you get real rebellious, and we all do, and don't feel like we can turn it over to Him and trust him, this is when we need to go to Him, Cry out to God! Ask for His help! He will not turn you away.

I hope this helps you today ~ it was a help to me.  Our Lord is the Master Fixer, and I know He can fix you.  How do I know, He fixed me! :)
