Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Proverbs 3:5-8 (KJV)

 

 

 

A friend of mine was really “down” due to the pandemic, and the ongoing conflicts occurring in our world today. So, she was “venting,” and crying out to me.

Me?  Well, that’s okay, after all what are friends for?

We comfort, we uplift, we share burdens, and we offer whatever wisdom we have stored up for such situations.  However, let’s be clear,  “wisdom” is NOT from me.  It’s from God and His Word.

I offered two important words, “Trust Him.”

There was a collective sigh on her end, and then a deep breath, before she said, “Sometimes, it’s just so hard...”

Well, that can be very true for those of faith.  No one said it was ever going to be an easy ride in life.  But Jesus did promise to never leave us, and He sent a “Comforter” to help in the Holy Spirit.  Jesus will never break a promise. Amen.

When we’re hurting, scared, or frustrated, we only have to look to Him, and His Love. That love which will encompass our essence, like a blanket of tranquility, while cohesively strengthening our inner spirit.

Trusting in Him, opens a road that would otherwise have been closed.

Trusting in Him, allows us to disengage from the suffocation of the world, and it’s unrest,  while offering us a “breath of life.”

“My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Offer your ear, and advice to those in need, but never forget where our “help” comes from.

Trusting in Him, makes us infallible in all we do, because through Him, we are able to survive hurdles, and trials that come our way.

We won’t be able to escape life unscathed by times of grief, sorrow, hurt, pain or frustration.  But with Christ, we’re capable of getting through it, and becoming stronger for it.

God is light; God is love; and God is life.

Enjoying fellowship with the LORD, allows us to walk in light. In so doing, we are also being cleansed by the blood of Christ.  Those of us who Trust the LORD, produce fruits of the spirit, thereby bringing spiritual growth, and intimacy with the LORD deep within the confines of our soul.

Faith in Christ infuses us with God’s life—that is to say, Eternal life.

In our life, tests come in all shapes and  sizes.  Some tests we can anticipate, others are not expected. Still some might hit us right between the eyes, knocking us to the ground in humility.

Sometimes the “box” in which the test arrives in, might be falsely wrapped, and not be aware of the contents– (circumstances)– of what’s about to happen.  But its so important to remember God is in control.  And irrespective of the box the “test” arrives in, God helps us unwrap the “box” while helping us out of it.  He implores us to come to Him, trust in Him, and seek His face and instruction in all we go through.

Trust in Him and He will provide the strength you need, and the “answers” you seek.

Along with your trust, offer your  daily Praises.

Plus—never forget—with God, all things are possible, no matter what is happening around you, or within you.

“Father my LORD, I trust You implicitly, fully and undeniably, all things are possible through you, and LORD, I know that even with darkness in the world, Your light overpowers it, and sends it packing, thank You in Jesus Christ name, Amen.”
