“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:17-18.
Trust in God is one thing that will give you stability and confidence in life despite the challenges in life or awaited expectations. Your level of trust in God sure gives firmness to your faith.
The words, faith and trust, if not properly understood could make you begin to question God, because we often hear preachers say “have faith, and you will get it”. However, you have been having faith and it seems it’s not coming through.
Faith simply means believing God to do a particular thing which you so desire. But trust is quite different. When you say you trust God, it means that you do not only believe God to do what you so desire, but much more, you trust God to do whatever He so desires in His time, irrespective of what you are believing Him for.That is trust.
You need to have faith. But more importantly, you have to trust God. Trust begat faith. Trust that He who holds the steer wheel of your life will bring you to a safe haven. To trust God is to place complete confidence and rely on God’s wisdom and Master plan.
How do you take it when it seems your prayer point is not being answered? When it seems all hope is gone; when it seems the problem won’t come to an end; when it seems your expectation has been dashed; when it looks as if you are retrogressing; do you still trust God’s Master plan?
You have to settle it in your heart that God loves you. He knows you more than yourself. He is more concerned about you than you yourself. He wants the best for you. He is committed to seeing you succeed. He is not against you. He has better thought about you than what you can ever think about yourself. He is in Charge. He is in Control. He is good. He is willing to help you. He will never leave you at the mercies of the devil.God is faithful to bring to pass that that concerns your life.
God is a wise God and He does things in His wisdom. He is righteous and only does things in righteousness. There is no unrighteousness in Him. And besides, God is more compassionate than you realize; more willing to help you. Your situation can and will never take God unawares.
One of the major components of trust is patience. If you really trust God, then you should be patient with Him. You have to give Him time. You would not need to rush Him to do it for you in your own time.
The more you know God, the more you trust Him. This is because you only trust a person that you know very well. So, if you are having issues with trusting God, all you have to do to restore and increase your level of trust in Him is to seek to know Him the more and also seek to know more of God’s promises to you which can never fail.
Have you been trusting God for something and you feel that God is getting late? Remember, He makes all things beautiful in His time. He has and will never fail anyone who trusts in Him.
Just relax!
