Trust is an important aspect especially in romantic
relationships and business dealings. Marriages fail and business
dealings go sour when someone betrays you, but that hasn't ever been
the case with God because He has an impeccable record of
faithfulness. He is your Creator and also wants to be your Savior.
He is the one who calls you into ministry and sends you out as well.
He sustains your every need and defends you should the need arise.
In short, God is your source and desires that you implicitly trust
Him. Your faith is like a rubber band and God is going to stretch
you; trusting in the Lord means allowing Him to work out an
impossible situation, while the Devil tries to use circumstances and
feelings as weapons in an effort to derail you. Your trust in God
needs to be tangible. This is when you find out what you're made of
spiritually. Angus Buchan is a farmer in South Africa that found out
what it meant to have real faith when he planted potatoes in the
midst of a drought. Despite the lack of irrigation, he believed God
for the impossible, and was rewarded with a crop of giant potatoes
at harvest time. He held a potato in each hand and stated, "Your
faith needs to be just as real as these potatoes." His faith is a
testament that God can be trusted. |
