That is a good question.
Do you trust God with all your heart.
Do you trust God with nothing wavering?
Do you have doubts about his ability to help you?
These questions are hard but they need to be asked so you can stand back and think about your answer.
I know trust is a very elusive commodity. It isn’t something that comes easy for me.
Yet, with God it should be easy because he has never disappoints me.
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. Zephaniah 3 verse 17.
He can do anything.
Waiting on God in Hope.
When we wait on the Lord, it is not because He is slow or forgets to be kind to us. Waiting can seem very long. We do not hear or see any difference. He is not subjected to time like humans. We are born, live a little, and then we die. ( Ecclesiates 3 verse 1. To everything, there is a season.)
Time is not His enemy. It is His creation.
( Genesis 1 verse 5. The evening and the morning were the first day.) He dwells in eternity where time and the ravishes of time can never touch. Yet, God remembers what we are. He remembes we are frail creatures, and we go back to the earth as dust.
(Psalm 103 verse 14. He knows our frame and remembers we are dust.)
At the appointed time, He will come through. It will be for us perfect. We have only to trust Him.
I know it is hard. But He knows how this story ends and how it started. He is faithful.
(Isaiah 46 verse 9 to 13…
I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from the ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I purposed it, I will also do it. Hear me, I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry.)
Amen
The words preserve me are said a great deal throughout the Psalms. The meaning is simple; keep me safe from harm, daily demise, problems in society where I live, and even keep me safe from my wayward thoughts. I trust in the Lord.
Preserve me Lord for in thee do I put my trust.(Psalm 16 verse 1)
I am the Lord your God. Fear Not, for I am with you.
When you pass through the waters. I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When life happens. Did Jesus not say He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life? John 14:6
This promise is crystal clear.
No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. I will not fail you or forsake you. Joshua 1:5
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned neither shall the flame kindle upon you.
Through times of uncertainty, the Lord is your strength and shield. Psalm 28:7
Nothing shall touch you. The fires of life will have no power over you. Nor will there be the smell of smoke on you. Daniel 3:5
I am the Lord your God. Fear not, for I am with you.
God said it. Now, it is up to you to believe it and to trust Him at His word.
