To TRUST or NOT To TRUST

February 2021

A casual reading of the Bible indicates faith in God is our ‘rut’ breaker. Faith was never meant to be primarily a noun. It is linked to the verb believe. A mindset that speaks of action.

Once we have broken out of the rut, this step must come in a package which includes direction and the power to break out of the walls of our present life which means confronting impossibilities.

Immediately, this raises questions like what do I expect to become? Whoever I am right now, do I have the faith to become a better person? Do I expect my destiny to reshape back to its theme defined in my earlier life? Do I expect my life and the future to be different because I am a person of faith?

Where do we set the boundaries of our expectation? If we can change one thing; one decision, one action, one conviction, one thought, why can't we rearrange our life? Or create a better future?

Exploring Bible truths again, may under-line our desperation or perhaps identify our reality. God is our only hope.

Pushed by circumstances into a renewed God relationship has us grappling with words like faith, expectation, and with it, transformation. It might surprise you, but people who aren't involved in spiritual conversations don't often use the word “transformation,” but it accurately describes changed worked by God.

It remains in our hands how much we will submit our destiny to God. We can trust a little or we can trust Him for all things.

You can choose to believe in a God who is aloof from all things; a distant God that leaves you in the hands of so many troubles.

Or, you can put your trust in a God who carries you as a nursing mother carries her suckling infant close to her; as a father carries his child high upon his shoulders; as an eagle carries its fledgling young upon its wings.

As large as your trust will be, is exactly the space that He will fill.
