Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[a]
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV Source www.biblegateway.com
What's up peeps! I miss you :) I had to tell you about a song I heard this morning. It has everything to do with the Scripture above. It has everything to do with you finally letting go and giving all control over to God.
The more I sang the chorus (I'm no singer but a praiser!:), the more the tears came to my eyes. How powerful is that.
"I will trust. Trust in the Name Lord. In the Name. Trust in the Name of the Lord."
How many of us say that but find it harder to live out?
How many times we let stress and worry win?
Do you ever let confusion rob your joy?
How many times it looks like it won't work, but somehow and someway it always works out?
The vital key to doing that is Trusting in the Lord with all your heart and NOT leaning on your own understanding.
It's not easy all the time. It doesn't make sense many times, but that's called faith. I love to hear Dr. Mike Murdock say "God's not moved by your tears, He's moved by your faith." I think that's powerful, because it forces you to take having faith seriously. It shows you how powerful faith is. He even gave examples from Scripture. The one that comes to my mind instantly is JESUS and the Disciples on the boat in the middle of the worst storm.
The waves of the storm is crashing in threatening to drown them all. The most surprising thing is Jesus is on the boat sleep while they are worrying with fear. The disciples go to wake him saying:
“Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
Jesus is such a man of faith. A man of confidence that knows Father God is not a Man that He should lie. Our God is a Good God that won't let you drown...but you have to have faith. Jesus simply replies:
"Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm."
How powerful is that? How can Jesus see these huge waves coming in to drown Him and His crew, and not be afraid? How can Jesus say I trust the Father God who sent me but still not be a little afraid when these huge waves are about to swallow you up?
Did you know that me and you have that same power because Jesus lives in us?
But you got to have Faith. You have to "Trust in the Name of the Lord." :) There is power in the Name! We have to believe and Trust the Name of JESUS, We have to believe that Powerful Blood is still anointed to heal, restore, and cover anything that we may need. Fear will come in life and so will worry and doubt, but keep the faith of the mustard seed.
Trust that GOD has Everything Under Control. HE has a plan for your life! Nothing will be wasted-good or bad. No mistake or bondage you may be wrestling with will separate you from the love of Christ. What manner of man is this that loves us that much? :)
Turn it over to HIM and let Jesus walk with you. It ALWAYS works out in the perfect timing and will of God. You may see the storms, you may get soaked, you may feel the winds, you may cry, you may be in pain, but it ALWAYS works out. The storm always provides a way of escape. The storm always teaches you something. The storm always elevates you in life and in faith. The storm always works out for your good-you just can't see it yet. You do have one order of business to tend to though-you have to Trust In HIS Name. You just have to Trust in the Name of the Lord. There is power in the Name!
ACTION STEPS:
1. Call on the Name of Jesus! Rebuke the winds of your life in the Name of Jesus. Ask Jesus to shield you in the midst. God's Grace is sufficient for thee. :)
2. This only works for believers. Stop saying you trust and you really don't mean it. I have found out in my 41 years of living that you really find out how powerful faith & God is in the middle of the storm. You will look back in awe of the goodness! Trust and believe!
3. Are you not a believer? Do you want to know how to become a believer? It's easy. All you have to do is say this prayer. "Dear Jesus. I repent of my sins. Wash me clean. Make me new. I believe you died on the Cross for me to live in the goodness of your grace. I believe you are my Lord and Savior. In Jesus Name, Amen." That's it! You are a Born Again Believer! Go buy you a Bible. Some churches or non-profits give them out for free. There is also a site you can go to: biblegateway.com. (Side Note: Website coming soon for beginning Christians. Keep and eye out for it...I will post the links soon.)
