Trusting in God

Trusting in God.

It's something that if we were all to be honest, we have heard a LOT. We hear it often in church. We see it on Bibles, bilboards, buisness cards, greeting cards, and it's spread among Christians like wildfire on a regular basis.

"Oh hey... I heard you were going through something. Keep trusting in God, he won't give you anything more than you can handle."

We usually respond back with something like, "I know, I'm trying. I know."

Do we really? Do we really know? Not really. Because I'm thinking that if we really knew how to trust God, we wouldn't have so many worries and stressors in our day to day life. We would be able to take any negative situation and just realize that God had 100% control over it and everything was going to be okay. This is actually true, but why don't we realize this often enough?

I think it's because our lack of trust stems from the fact that we need feel connected to God in order to  think we can trust Him. We want to see God work in our lives before we can trust him. Then, when we do actually see him work in our lives, we hesitate to trust Him still. What if that was a coincidence? How do we know that God actually aranged all of that for my good? Good question. The Bible has an answer.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

So I want to draw your attention to something in that Bible verse I posted above. What, exactly did God say that He will work together for our good? One thing? Something? No. Everything. He has promised us in His Word that he will work everything together for the good of us in our plan. Everything. Even the things that we're currently looking at with a negative perspective. He's already got that covered. All planned out. He knows everything about us, everything about our past, and every little detail about our future. And he has it already all working together for His good. That thought should be really calming when you think about it.

"When I am afraid, I will trust in you." Psalm 56:3 

The really beautiful thing is that through the Bible, we have been given the chance to see that God is very trustworthy. He has never let anyone down. Never. He doesn't make mistakes. Here are some verses in the Bible where other people are explaining God's trustworthiness.



"Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods." Psalm 40:4



"In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?" Psalm 56:4


There are so many verses in the Bible on trusting in God. I'm only listing a few here but if you are interested in finding more of these Bible verses, a lot of Bibles have a place in the back where you can look up more of these verses under "trust" or "trustworthiness" or you could look up these verses online. Believe it or not, looking up these verses online can actually be a great reasource if you want to find more of these Bible verses or any of the others that we use in our posts. :)


So see girls, I think when it really comes down to it, we will only end up trusting God more and more with the things in our lives and eventually our entire lives in general if we get to know Him better. Funny enough, that's the simple answer. It really doesn't get any easier than that. Because the closer and closer we get to God, the more we learn about Him. The more we learn, the more we see His good intentions and His promises in the Bible not to harm us and to protect us. Everyone is going to struggle with trust and trusting God at some point in our lives. But my suggestion would be to get to know Him better- something I'm sure we all could use doing.

After all, we can't ever get too close to God. (:
