I Can Trust God When It Feels Like Everything is Falling Apart
I haven’t been feeling well. Some days I get anxious about it. I know God heals. It says so in His word and I believe it. I know God heals because I’ve experienced it. I also know that the path I’m on feels like it’s taking too long. I wrestle with not wanting to do my disciplines like exercising and drinking my green juice. In my waiting I’m reminded that I can do hard things. I’m tougher than I realize. Not because I’m tough at all, but because I have the power of the Holy Spirit living in me. God wants me to trust him with this process.
Do you like my new shirt? A lot of people said it made them nervous. Well I didn’t get this shirt to be cocky. It’s quite the opposite. I got the shirt to remind myself to trust God. Not having faith is a sin. God wants me to trust him even when everything seems to be falling apart.
I may not know what tomorrow brings, but I know who brings tomorrow. When I look at this shirt I am reminded to stand firm in my faith. God’s word says not to test God, and I believe it.
“Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah.” Deuteronomy 6:16
The Israelites tempted and tried the patience of the Lord. They questioned if God was with them or not. Today I’m choosing to lean into God’s word and trust. God never fails!
“Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the Lord. “Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery? says your God. Isaiah 66:9
