Breaking Point: A Call to Trust

When we're at our breaking point, it's natural to feel helpless and uncertain about our future. It's during these moments that our faith in God is put to the test. We may wonder why God doesn't intervene to remove the evil or difficulties in our lives. However, trusting God means acknowledging that He is great and all-sufficient, even in the midst of suffering. This realization is the foundation of our trust in God. When we trust Him, we begin to understand His character and His ways, which ultimately leads us to discover our true identity, worth, and purpose.

Faith Tested and Tried

Trust in God is not a one-time decision, but a continuous process that requires perseverance. We must learn to hand everything over to Christ, not just in theory, but in practice. This means trying to do all that He says, even when it's difficult. Faith must be tested and tried, and the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that His character must be proven as trustworthy in our own experiences. When we trust God, we must be willing to go beyond our own strength and confidence, and instead, place our trust in Him alone. This trust is not a guarantee that our lives will be easy, but it's a promise that God will be with us and guide us through the difficult times.

Developing Trust

Trust in God is not something we naturally possess, but it's a skill that can be developed through practice and obedience. As we respond to God in obedience, we can develop a knack for trusting Him consistently. This requires perseverance and a willingness to adjust our choices as we follow the will of God. Trusting God to guide us may require humility and a recognition that we're not infallible in discovering His will. When we trust God, we're not just trusting Him to make our lives easy, but we're trusting Him to be our constant companion and guide, even in the midst of difficulties and uncertainties. By trusting God, we can discover our true purpose and identity in Him.
