Trust, Not Apathy or Resignation
Trust in God is an action. It takes our will. It takes decisiveness. It is not passive. It is not surrendering to the inevitable. It is not apathy. It is not resignation.
When we truly trust God with our entire being there is a peace that is beyond explanation or even our understanding.
That trust is expressed by our faith in the goodness of God, that He is worthy of our trust, that we are safe in His care no matter what happems. It is not worrying.
Trust acknowledges that it is to God that we turn for our answers to whatever concerns we have.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
In truly trusting God, that peace of God fills us to overflowing. It remains no matter our circumstances, as long as we continue to trust God fully.
But if we falter, question the goodness of God, doubt the purposes of God, that peace will not be as complete. It will be lacking something vital, because our faith is lacking.
Wavering faith makes ripples form in us that carries doubts deeper into our being, disrupting our peace.
It is why the Devil wants to shake that trust. It is why he whispers doubts into our mind and pushes for us to be anxious and worried. Anxiety is the quickest why to lose that peace.
The answer is to draw all the nearer to God--instead of slipping away from Him-- when doubts arise.
"Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.
Psalms 42:11
When we trust in the Lord we discover how very trustworthy God is. There is no better place to place our trust.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.
Proverbs 3:5-7
Stay strong! Trust God with all of your heart!
