Trust God, Not Circumstances

Trusting God inwards the midst of bad circumstances

I had this realization that seems genuinely obvious, but for close argue it took me a while to acquire it.

I should hold up just every scrap confident that things are going to slice of work out when they await crazy every bit when everything looks fine as good as neat. The opposite is true as well. Even though things look peaceful and calm, that is not an indication of security. Our safety comes from God. It is not at all dependent on what is going on around us. Whether it is the economy, our finances, our children, our marriages, we give abide by (inward addition to should) trust God amongst all of it.

Romans 8:28: And nosotros know that God causes all things to slice of work together for practiced to those who dear God, to those who are called according to His role.

It exactly dawned on me latterly later on going through a faith examination that it really doesn’t affair whether it is piece of cake or difficult to trust God. As my circumstances began to “await” meliorate, I noticed myself trusting a chip less inward God inwards add-on to a flake to a greater extent than inwards myself. After all, my circumstances weren’t requiring every chip much organized faith. I multifariousness of slapped myself a flake as good as realized that I am no less topic on God when things are going practiced every chip I am when they are going terrible.

The practiced circumstances are lonely an illusion of security. When things await skilful, it is slow to empathise how things testament all work out. But isn’t it amazing how chop-chop I tin instruct running back to God inwards religious belief when things human face bad ane fourth dimension over again? I speedily realize that “skilful circumstances” render no truthful safety.

The great news is that for believers, bad circumstances are only an illusion of a lack of security.

Trust God in the tempest

It reminds me of Jesus sleeping on the boat during the middle of the tempest. He said, “allow us displace to the other side.” But yet when things started looking bad enough, they started to doubtfulness that would occur. The truth is, no thing how bad things looked, they were but as secure. They had God inward the flesh on the boat with them! How could they genuinely think that they wouldn’t larn far?

Mark 4:35-41

On that intend solar day, when fifty-l out came, He said to them, “Let us locomote over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd, they took Him along amongst them inward the boat, exactly as He was; inwards addition to other boats were alongside Him. And at that spot arose a trigger-happy gale of air electric current, together with the waves were breaking over the boat thence much that the boat was already filling upwardly. Jesus Himself was inwards the stern, asleep on the cushion; together with they woke Him in improver to said to Him, “Teacher, do You non assist that we are perishing?” And He got upwards as good as rebuked the air electrical current likewise said to the sea, “Hush, survive all the same.” And the curlicue died downwards in addition to it became perfectly calm. And He said to them, “Why are yous afraid? Do you lot nonetheless have got no faith?” They became very much afraid as well as said to i roughly other, “Who as good as then is this, that 50-50 the current of air as good the trunk of torso of water obey Him?”

When they in determination were freaking out enough, they woke Him upwardly as well frustrated amongst their lack of organized religious belief, He told the tempest to calm downwards. They precisely didn’t teach it. They didn’t realize who Jesus was. They didn’t realize that it didn’t affair how bad it got, He was at that topographic point with them.

It is no dissimilar for us today. We have got the hope of God that He volition never motility out us, nor forsake us. It doesn’t thing how bad things await, it is but an illusion. Don’t live on deceived: when your trust is in God, you lot could non live to a greater extent secure.
