Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
To me, this is probably one of the most important scriptures I have read and memorized and live by. There probably isn't one of us out there who find it easy to trust completely in someone else, to relinquish control to someone else, to be dependent on another to guide you, direct you, lead you down the path you are walking, especially when things appear to be beyond our own understanding. What we have to remember is just because it may not make sense in the natural world, we serve a super natural God. We may not see a way, but God always has a way.
The word of God tells us, repeatedly, that we need to learn to wait on him and to trust in Him, but at times it isn't the most desirable thing to do, at times we find ourselves questioning whether we can, because waiting involves trusting and trusting means giving up control to our Father in Heaven.
Do not be like t Submission to God by Pastor Mark Jensen hem, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Matthew 6:8
Our Father in Heaven, the creator of the universe, the God above all is conscious of everything we think, everything we feel, everything we need, even before we speak it or ask for it or pray for it. God never sleeps, never gets tired, never forsakes us no matter where we are or what we are doing. There is noting that happens or that will happen that he is not aware of or does not already know. He already knows everything about you because he created you, he breathed life into you, he had already planned the path you are walking.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
Release all your cares, anxieties, worries on God, for not only is he always there for you, but he cares about you. Whatever concerns you, concerns him, whatever worries you, also worries him. So whenever you are faced with a problem, a situation or an obstacle that seems insurmountable, just release it to him. He can and will handle any and all that you cast upon him.
Now to him who is able to immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Ephesians 3:20
This tells us quite simply, that there is nothing that is too hard or too difficult for God. Nothing we face, nothing we fear, no circumstance that arises is too hard for Him who works in us, therefore it is not too hard for you and I, when we trust in Him completely. We have to say, without question or doubt that we give our lives to Him, that we surrender completely to him and keep him first place in all areas of our lives so that he may do the good works in us. Now I am sure we have all, at one time or another experienced unanswered prayers or requests that are still yet to be fulfilled. So too must we remember that even if God chooses not to grant our every request, He is still capable of supplying our every need when we need it, not necessarily when we want it.
We all struggle at times with trusting others, that is human nature and we are human. However, trusting in God should come naturally because he is out Father in Heaven. He created you and me in his own image, he knew you even before you were born, he breathed life into you.never forget who your are and whose you are, a child of the most high God.
As I speak a blessing over each of you, always remember, I am here for you if you ever need to talk or get something off your chest or if you need prayer for yourselves, your family or your friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
Dear Father God, thank you for blessing us with this day and loving us as Your children. Watch over each and every one of us as we start each day, as we go through this week, keeping us in the palm of Your hand. Guide us in our daily lives, directing us on the path You have planned for us, bringing forth the dreams you have planted in each of our hearts. For we know who we are and whose we are, children of the most high God. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
"Keep your Faith strong, your Hope alive and your Prayers never ending."
God Bless
Pastor Mark
