| | This week at Connection we talked about trusting God. Do you trust Him enough to believe that He will get you through tomorrow? How about when everything seems to have gone wrong? Or how about enough to ask Him for hardship if that is what is needed for Him to be glorified through your life?
Mercy Me sings:
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings you glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise you
Jesus, bring the rain...
If someone in your life could only have their faith in God restored by seeing you trust God through the worst of circumstances, would you be courageous enough to ask God to do His worst?
Oswald Chambers writes:
"I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. I should never say, 'Lord, this causes me such heartache.' To talk that way makes me a stumbling block. When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. He can crush me, exalt me, or do anything else He chooses. He simply asks me to have absolute faith in Him and His goodness."
It's that kind of faith that moves mountains. And that kind of trust that brought Jesus through Gethsemane and Calvary. What would your next step look like in the gloriously challenging pursuit of God's best??
In His Service,
Jess |
