In God We Trust

After over two decades of marriage, the similarities Bobbi and I share are more evident each passing day. In the scheme of our lives, our few differences don’t seem to be that important anymore.

One area of our existences that both my wife and I have difficulties revolves around the area of trust (faith). The older we both get the more our belief tends to waver (at times) with family members, our work associations, and even our relationships with the Almighty.

One song Bobbi has on her Spotify playlist is by the Christian artist, Lauren Daigle. The chorus creates so many questions in my brain (even with all the many answers the Heavenly Father has given to me consistently time and time again). How do these lyrics affect you (in your heart)? Do you agree with them?

When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

Trust is something we can all use more of. Here are a few important reminders to take with you on your spiritual journey:

1.  Don’t be timid, but more courageous (than you thought was ever possible). Trust God with every decision you make in life. He will never fail you. (Joshua 1:9)

2.  A life devoted to earthly things is dead, but a life devoted to the Almighty is flourishing and alive like a babbling brook. (Proverbs 11:28)

3.  Faith in God can do the impossible (or what you thought could never happen in a million years). (Luke 1:37)

4.  Our walk in life has to be by faith in God, and not by what we think needs to happen in solving a challenge. (2 Corinthians 5:7)

5.  Sometimes it’s best to take a deep breath (and a step back) to allow the Almighty to do what He does best, the miraculous. (Psalms 46:10) 

Have you ever prayed for your Heavenly Father to trust and believe in you more (instead of the reverse)? When the Almighty asks you to speak to someone does he know (for certain) that you will follow through with His request?

To your Heavenly Father is your promise as good as money in the bank? If you are not always reliable in your earthly relationships, your divine association needs to be the exception.
