TRUST IN GOD

 

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight", as is written in Proverbs 3:5 -6.

We should put all our hope and trust in God because asides Him, we are too weak to do anything, even though we think we are strong enough to. God created us and all the affairs of our lives are in the palms of His hands. So, who else is better to handle our lives than Him? He alone handles the universe, and nothing is too much for Him to handle.

He wants us to have no doubts in our hearts when we come before Him with our requests. He said in Jeremiah 32:27, "Behold, I am the God of all things, is anything too hard for me?" He has all the power in this world. Do not be afraid to trust Him with anything, for He is our friend and creator.

There is no need trusting in creatures, when the creator Himself beckons on you to come to Him. He said in Matthew 11: 28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest".

Have faith in God and doubt not. Even if our faith is as small as a mustard seed, we can tell the mountain to move, and it will move (Matthew 17: 20). Everything belongs to Him, and nothing intimidates Him. Believe in Him and He will uplift you from whatever is your situation.

FIND YOUR PLACE IN GOD

A popular saying goes, "Man, know thyself". It is very important for everyone to come to terms with their true identity and only in Christ can such be revealed. Every human being has his/her place only in God.

How can one find his/her place in God? By having a daily communion with God. Walking daily with God entails all sort of things: praying, fasting, studying the bible daily, meditation on the word of God.

Another way someone can connect to God is to attend church services and participate with the brethren of Christ. It is said in Hebrews 10:25, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." We should recognize our place in God and take residence in Him, lest the devil snatches our soul, and we will not be allowed in God's heavenly kingdom at the last day. Every man should not slumber in his/her journey with God. The heavenly kingdom is so beautiful and precious that no one should lose their place in God. God has designed a unique place for each and every one of us to spend eternity with Him, only if we open our hearts to Him, invite Him and He will come in.

Don't live your life as a wind that passes by, let God work in you. Use your life to glorify God. Let Him shine His glorious light through you. Find your place in God and you will fulfil your purpose on earth.
