Trust is the firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something.

When God says to trust in Him with all our heart, He means believing in His reliability, His Word, His ability and His strength. A lot of the times, Christians tend to look at how grave the situation is that they find themselves in or at the enormity of the task that lies ahead, then based on their own understanding of what the matter looks like  conclude that it is impossible to sail through it all.

Rather than leaning on our own understanding, and letting doubt creep into our minds and hearts, God admonishes us to trust in His reliability, His strength, His ability to order our steps through it all.

I was faced with a challenge somewhere 2018 at my first station where by then I had served for five years in a very remote part of the country. No lights, no network made my stay there very difficult.

I wanted to leave and come back to the Capital City so badly that I spoke to one of my supervisors to help me. He took some money with the promise of getting me the transfer. It didn’t materialize. For two years, I lived in frustration and despair. But one day, it dawned on me to talk to God about it in prayer and without paying a dime, He lined up all the right people to get it done .

People who ordinarily, one wouldn’t be able to call randomly. They reached to me and did everything for me.

The lesson to me was to not lean on my own understanding but to trust in Him.

Beloved, “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said , and will He not do? Or has He spoken , and will He not make it good? [Numbers 23:19]

Let’s trust in the Lord and he will truly order our steps. He has done great things for us and He is yet to do greater things.

Trust and Obey!

The Bible in Psalm 46:10 says be still and know that I am God. This verse can be stated differently as ‘Surrender yourself and know that I am God.’ When you find yourself or someone or a  loved one in a time of uncertainty and turbulence, God says “Be Still” or “Surrender yourself.

As Christians, God expects us to surrender our all to him. HE has a track record of coming through for us at all times. His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Back in college, I had a bit of Math-phobia.  I’d try what seems to be my best to workout a Maths work but to no avail.  I remember always going to a friend of mine who was very good at it. I had no doubt at all that this friend at the end of the day, would help me solve the problem; and she always did.

As Christians, God reminds us that there will be trials and tribulations, that you will sometimes find yourself between a hard place and a rock, that the situation may look bleak sometimes, but we must always remember that we have an anchor in Christ Jesus who will give beauty for ashes and strength for weakness.

This same Christ Jesus who healed, still heals the sick, raises the dead and walks upon the sea. Who better than Him to look up to?

Christ shows up when we are still and when we surrender it all unto Him. He gives us peace that surpasses all understanding and never fails.

Be still and know that He’s God!!.
