In my books, I take an entire chapter to discuss trusting God, learning to depend upon Him moment by moment. You’d think that I would have the trusting issue “down pat” by now, wouldn’t you? But I still find myself wondering how much I really trust God. It’s funny, but oftentimes I sense the Holy Spirit tugging on my heart, directing me back to those chapters about trusting God in the moment.
Here’s what I’m finding when I go back, again and again, to Living and Secrets: The Holy Spirit is showing me that when I worry, fret, or doubt…I am simply not trusting Him. And not trusting God means that I might not be secure enough in His love to depend upon Him in areas of challenge. Do I really believe God loves me enough to take care of my difficulties? What if He doesn’t care for matters the way I think He should? Will I trust in His love just the same?
In the Bible it says that God’s ways and thoughts are not like mine. Wow…I guess that means that my Heavenly Father knows something that I don’t know! There’s probably a bigger picture to life that I’m unaware of. That’s great…but He might orchestrate the solution to my problem differently than I would. Do I trust Him? Do I trust in His perfect love? Can I let go and allow my Lord to work on my behalf? Lots of questions to answer…that’s for sure.
How about you? Is the Holy Spirit tugging on your heart as well? Join me, and draw closer to God. In that closeness, we will find security in every area of life.
