Last night, Holy Spirit dropped this scripture into my spirit and I want to share it. Proverbs 3:5-7 (MSG), “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all.”
This scripture BLESSED my SOCKS OFF!! I was STRESSING about a situation/circumstance and Holy Spirit encouraged me to just TRUST GOD. The definition of the word trust is, “reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence; confident expectation of something; hope.” Many of us like to be in control of EVERYTHING! The wonderful thing about having a Heavenly father who loves us is that we don’t have to be in control over everything. We can take all of the weights and burdens of life and give them to him. He is our Father, he loves us, he WANTS to take care of things for us. 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV) says, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
When you were a child did you worry about where you were going to live? Did you worry about what you were going to eat? NO! Why not? Because you had parents who you KNEW were going to take care of you. The same trust that we had as children for our natural parents, we should have for our Heavenly Father. He created the heavens and the earth, SURELY he can take care of YOU!!! When the devil sends negative thoughts or discouragement, tell him that he is a LIAR and that your FATHER in HEAVEN LOVES you and is taking GREAT care of you! Matthew 7:11 (NLT) says, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” God KNOWS how to shower us with GREAT things! TRUST HIM!
No matter how it looks…..TRUST GOD! I PROMISE you that he will NEVER EVER let you down!
