Hey guys,
So I mentioned that I would be posting about some small things that I’ve been learning these days and even this past semester. One theme I’ve been learning throughout this whole semester is that I really need to learn to trust God more. What does that even mean or look like? Well, I’m still learning about that, but I can share a bit of my experience. One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I like to keep things in my control. This is probably one of the first steps to resisting God’s control in my life that could very easily lead to sin. Selfish living is basically Godless living in a sense. Not to say that I denied Jesus or anything, but there are times in which I’m so caught up with the things that I’m doing or are involved in that I forget about God. I put the control in my hands and try to make things go my way, and sometimes when they don’t, I start to get worried or even freak out. That’s when I realize that I wasn’t trusting God with something and I need to stop what I’m doing and just bring it to Him in prayer and just ask for His peace.
I love tumblr, cuz they have some random cool stuff like this one I’m going to share with you:
It’s comforting to know that the same God that’s in control of the good times of life is still in control in the tough times of life. Our difficulties are not a surprise to Him. God will not allow a storm unless He has a divine purpose for it. Romans 8:28 promises us, “That in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (NIV) God will direct the winds of the storm to blow you where He wants you to go. We see storms as being negative, but God uses the storm to move you from point A to point B. The winds may be strong, the circumstances may look bad, but those winds will blow you to a new level of your destiny.
That’s some words of wisdom right there that I constantly see myself in the need of a reminder. I sometimes think that just because things aren’t going my way that God doesn’t want them to go that way either. But I’m wrong, and God’s way is always right. I just need to continue to seek out His way and trust in it.
I would like to share some passages from Psalms 56 that I recently read:
When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
(Psalm 56:3-4 ESV)
In God, whose word I praise,
in the LORD, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
(Psalm 56:10-13 ESV)
Sometimes I just seriously need to remind myself of who God is and how might He is. He has delivered my soul from death, and that’s pretty epic in itself and fully deserving of trust and praise from me. Why should we trust in God? “that I may walk before God in the light of life.” vs 13
