Do you Really Trust God?

 Trust in the Lord(A) with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths(B) straight.[a](C) Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Do you ever  find yourself  at crossroad of your  emotions vs.  fully trusting God?  It's  like  a  power struggle  between   what you  feel in that moment and  Gods truth.  We  often times become  blinded by our  on fleeting emotions and what we think we  know because we value  our  own "truth"  more than  Gods truth. 

 What we must understand is that  Gods truth is bullet  proof and in this instance when we are relying on ourselves more than  God  we  need to  take a  step back and realign ourselves with the him.   No  circumstance is  too big for  God and nothing takes Him by  surprise in Proverbs  3:5-6 God  says if we  submit all of our ways to Him he will make our paths straight. This means that God takes all the guess work out and  our responsibility is to take him at His word.

 Ah, Sovereign Lord,(A) you have made the heavens and the earth(B) by your great power and outstretched arm.(C) Nothing is too hard(D) for you. Jeremiah 32:17 (NIV)

Learning not to lean on our own understanding  begins with developing  a better understanding of  God  and  developing a  better understanding of God comes  through  studying his word.  That  means we  need to  purposely set aside time to draw from the endless resources that God has given us. 

Ask yourself this today Will I trust my ever  changing  emotions or our heavenly Father who never changes?  He  promises to never leave or forsake us and to  make  our paths  straight that  sounds like a win to me.  What ever is holding you back ask  God to remove it and increase your faith. We  fall short when we  try to figure out everything on our own so resolve to give  all of your concerns over to God  and stand in His  truth.

Love,

Keep Going Your Almost There

Deuteronomy 12:10 (CEB)10 But you are about to cross the Jordan River and will settle in the land the Lord your God is giving you as your inheritance. Then he will give you rest from all your enemies on every side so that you live safely and securely.

There is  comfort in knowing that  your  steps are ordered by God himself. Wherever you find your in the point in time whether it's positive or  not so great  God  is  able to meet you at that point and sustain  you. With this in mind  how  would approach life  differently?  Knowing that  God is  lining things up on your behalf and breathing life into your dreams?  It should light a  fire within your faith. 

No matter where you find yourself right now  know that God is  present , he is piecing together  your next steps. So ask yourself will you   take that leap of faith to trust him even when you don't know what the outcome will be or when the next step will present itself? Will you allow  God to steer your life or  will continue to lean on your own understanding?

Let's be honest  our  complacency  is a  form of pride that  often times  prolongs  a journey that  God never intended  to take  so long.  A complacent  mindset  will choke  your progress; God has  so much in store for us but  we get in the way by talking ourselves out of trusting   him.  Remember  God wouldn't bring you to a point where He hasn't  taken in consideration all the things  you need to succeed. 

God has a plan for you, there's a  assignment on your life that He wants you  walk confidently  into.  Trust  God with your  future, with your  life presently and  keep moving forward within His  will you're almost there  don't  give up now!

Love,
