Hey there,
I don’t know about you but I’m going through a situation that is calling for a complete belief that God is who He says He is and can do what He says He can do. That means not only trusting but having complete faith in Him.
This morning I was reading out of my daily “Utmost for His Highest” by Oswald Chambers. Interestingly the title for today’s reading was “The Theology of resting in God.” I would like to share part of this to encourage you. Perhaps you are going through a situation or crisis where you don’t know what to do. You’re fearing because of something that might happen in the future and all you feel is God’s silence. Be encouraged by these words.
“God expects His children to be so confident in Him that in any crisis they are the ones who are reliable. Yet our trust is only in God up to a certain point, then we turned back to the elementary panic-stricken prayers of those people who do not even know God. We come to our wit’s end, showing that we don’t have the slightest amount of confidence in Him or His sovereign control of the world. What a stinging pain must’ve shot through the disciples as they surely thought to themselves, “We missed the mark again” and what a sharp pain will go through us when we suddenly realize that we could have produced complete and utter joy in the Heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in Him, despite what we are facing. But it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely. If we have been learning to worship God and placed our trust in Him, the crisis will reveal that we can go to the point of breaking, yet without breaking our confidence in Him.”
I hope and pray this will encourage your heart to trust and believe despite the clouded voices of fear and doubt.
What fear is preventing you from taking that next step?
You can do this!
Take care,
Charlotte
