Simply Trust God!
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
WOW!! Another tragedy resulting in lives loss, victims injured and mass confusion! The lives of hundreds of people has been permanently altered by the actions of one. So as we recant and reflect on: the global devastating conditions that are still present after the onset of the hurricanes and earthquakes, the results of the presidential election, recent occurrences of terrorism, national outbreaks of police brutality, etc., many people here in America are overly concerned about what they are hearing and observing. People were wondering what is going to occur next. Will the nation’s government continue to be governed by someone who appears to be totally incompetent and biased in their decisions or will it even experience a major shutdown? Will people be expected to work and not receive their wages, nor maintain the ability to purchase necessary items… or will they be forced to amend their life styles? What about the resources that have been for the hurricane victims that are available – yet they are not being released to them? Many people are now becoming anxious and asking, Lord, what will happen?
Well.. I just need to remind you that it matters not what the President may conclude nor his actions, nor the impact that our judicial system may have on the economy; nor the display of terrorism or police injustice that may transpire; nor the actions of those whose minds are leading them to seek revenge in public places… we cannot permit the spirit of fear to invade our spirits! It matters not who our president is nor the negative situations which are occurring …… Our response must be, “I’ll simply trust God”. We must always remain cognizant of the fact that the Bible must be fulfilled. Therefore, there are circumstances and situations that MUST transpire. However within my spirit I must imprint the following statement…. “I’ll simply trust God”!
The Bible is full of example after example depicting how the Lord moved on behalf of His people – when they trusted Him. However when we decide to lean to our own understanding – disaster will be our fate. God’s word is always true and will always prevail in every situation – if we remain faithful to it. Now is not the time to “throw in the towel” and give up. Now is the time to put to work all that you have studied and learned about the Lord. Now is the time to prove the Lord’s faithfulness and to take him at His word.
To trust is to:
T – Turn: Turn from the negative reflections and the opinions of those who are not adhering to
what God has decreed. (I Corinthians 15:33 & 34)
R – Rest: Rest in the promises of God. Cast your cares on Him. (I Peter 5:7)
U – Uproot: Uproot…. Go to the source of whatever is attempting to choke out my peace; attack
the root not the fruit! Remember.. It’s a spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12)
S – Stand: Stand on what the Lord has said. Gird up the loins of your mind and stand! (I Peter
1:13)
T – Transform: Transform my vocabulary by renewing my mind; so that I will only speak faith
filled words. (Proverbs 18:21)
Therefore it matters not what our judicial system decides….we must chose to operate according to a system which is superior to that system. We must walk according to the mandates of God’s kingdom. When we walk governed by kingdom principles; we will be the recipients of His kingdom blessings – and we will have available to us His kingdom provision… REGARDLESS.
Refuse to engulf the spirit of fear that is attempting to invade many at this time. God’s promises are true and remember…
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19
Our hope….. and our trust MUST be in Him! So again I reiterate ….. SIMPLY TRUST GOD!!!
