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.

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

Broken Glass Jewelry

Do you ever feel like you have been put on a shelf and no one ever truly sees you anymore?  Do you feel like your life has been shattered and you aren't sure how to put the pieces back together or even if you want to try and put them back together again?  Life can be messy and stressful and difficult, but it can also be beautiful amidst all of the struggles. One of my hobbies is making broken glass jewelry.  Do you know the process is very interesting to make this jewelry.  First, you have to find some cool china or maybe it's not that cool yet, but you see the potential of what it could be.  Have you ever thought that might be what God is looking at when he looks at you?  Do you know that God sees so much potential in you that you can't even see at this particular point in time in your life.  When we are broken or facing difficulties in life it is hard to feel like we have any value in us, but God sees so much potential when He looks at you. In making...
