God Can Be Trusted

Let me begin this short piece by welcoming you to a new year. I pray that this year will be the year of the fulfillment of your greatest desires from God, and the Almighty will cause you to ride on high places.

I want you to set the course for the year with a strong phrase line - God can be trusted. Undoubtedly, everyone at some point in life have been at that place where you were believing God for something, and you seem not to have gotten it. Those kinds of experiences present a unique opportunity for the devil to attempt to subtly convince you of God’s inability and unwillingness to meet your desires, but you must never give in to those thoughts.

The bible says in Proverbs 3 verse 5, Trust in the Lord with all your heart. if you are not trusting in Him with all your heart, there will be room for doubts. The devil will always take advantage of your doubts to further destroy your faith and ability to trust in God completely.

When you desire something from God, and you do not receive it, the first thing should not be that you begin to doubt God, rather the first thing should be to search if you are doing it right. You may desire something from God and not have the perfect knowledge on how to receive it, but many times, rather than thinking this way and searching for where and how to make the necessary adjustments, you may just find yourself in the place of doubt, which is exactly where the devil wants you to be.

To come to this place where you are trusting in God absolutely, you must first make a quality decision by the help of the Holy Spirit to trust God regardless of the situation. This is a position of complete abandonment in the hands of God, knowing that God cares for you far better than you could ever care for yourself. That quality decision will keep you steady in the midst of uncertainties, and some failures that you may experience on the journey, but you will find it easier to trust more in God as you progress. I should also add that this is not necessarily something that you will achieve all at once or in one week or month, but it will become easier as you get along.

This year make that quality decision to trust absolutely in God, He can be trusted with everything, yes, everything!

There will certainly be challenges but none of them will be uncommon to man, and if God allows them to come your way, it means you can deal with them.

Brace up yourself for a new and fresh start, and with this assurance that every high place before you will become a level plain, and every crooked path with straighten out for you as you put your absolute trust in God.

Your time has started counting already, make the best use of it, and always remember – GOD CAN BE TRUSTED!

See you on the other end of the year.
