Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God.  "Trust in God and He will show the way."  Do we really understand what it means to trust God?  Can we truly comprehend this statement?  


It's easy when things are going our way.  It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well.  However, do you still trust God when life is hard?  When everything seems to be going wrong in life?  Do you trust God through the hard stuff?  

There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley.  When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right.  The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night."   Think about the words to that song.  No matter what, God is still God.  He still has control over the outcome.  Recently, my mom and I were talking and she was telling me that she is a read the back of the book person.  She wants to know how the story ends to see if it is worth reading the book.  Sometimes in life, we can't see the end.  We don't know which way the outcome will go and it is difficult to have the patience to go through the hard times.  However, we can make it through hard times and difficult situations if we truly and completely have trust in God.

Now, I am a person that does not trust people easily.  It takes me a long time to trust someone and if that trust is broken it takes even longer for me to even want to speak to that person again (and they won't get my trust ever again.)  I'm sure some of you can probably relate to that, but God is completely different.  He will never break your trust.  He will never let you down.  He is always there no matter what the situation is that you are facing.  

When life is difficult it makes it harder for us to trust that everything will work out how we would like it to.  But did you know that God has an even better plan for us?  Can you comprehend the vastness and enormity of God's love for you?  It all comes back to trusting God that He knows what's best for us in the future and what's best for us right now even if we can't see it through the storm that we are going through at the time.  When you are discouraged just take a few minutes to think about that and focus on trusting God even when it is not the easy path to take.

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Walk with God

In my current Bible study, we are reading in Genesis.  At the beginning it is talking about how God comes down in the cool of the evening and talks with Adam and Eve.  Can you imagine that?  God literally comes and walks and talks with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.   Then in Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 states "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and then in verse 9, it ends by saying "Noah walked with God."  Think about that for a minute.   In a world where everything is going crazy and God is questioning why he made the world because there is so much evil in it that He is going to send a flood and destroy the earth.  Can you imagine the world is as evil as it gets but the Bible states "And Noah walked with God."  That is such a profound statement.  Can you say that about your life?  No matter the chaos in the world or what is happening around you, people look at your life and all they can say is "And Valerie walked ...
