It is the devils tactics to make you believe that ugly situations around you is chosen by default and there is nothing you do about it.This attitude which is contrary to what the bible says that He has plans for you, which is filled with hope, when you call me I will answer you and change your condition. You need to trust God for more dears.Here are seven tips that will help you to trust God:
Personal Knowledge of your Relationship with God:
Abraham trusted God to provide him with every promise He made to Him . He knew that His God is Almighty God (El 'shaddai) and He is the God that provides (Yahweh Jireh). God finally blessed Him and gave an expected end. If you stay with Him, God Himself will nurture you and never put down. Know the level of relationship that is existing between God and you. It will really provide with the knowledge of your worth and the kind of God you are serving.
Stay Attached and Connected:
Abraham knew Gods promises and he didn't leave God for anything less. During the days of Abraham there were idols everywhere but he strongly attached himself to God that most people then knew not. He stayed attached and connected despite all odds. The Psalmist(Ps 23: 1-5) prayed "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me: your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows".
Almighty God is More than Enough:
Always remember that the enemy is very clever, with his deception and limited stories of lack. At a time in the wilderness the Israelite doubted their survival but what they don't know is that Egypt couldn't and will never be enough for them. Our God is the God of more than enough. In mark 8 Jesus feed four thousand
men and still have more than enough left overs. He said, that, He has come to give us life, life in abundance. Is He who can give life not give you anything you ask for?
Don't settle for less because you have failed in the past:
Most times, our sins and weakness make us think that we can never please God or become better in life.
Let me take you, to the story of Luke 15:14-18, the story of the prodigal son. This story should be a point of reference, for you whenever you find yourself in such an ugly situation. It will help you get back to track and start living. Change is the only constant dears, and He died for us. He became poor for us to be rich and was made a sin for us to be holy.
Never be ashamed to ask God for more:
The bible talked about the servant, who had less than other servants in Matthew 25:28-29, but even the little had was taken from him. He is your father and always willing to help and keep you. Ask whatever thing you wish He will do it for you if it be his will.
Never Allow life Experience Determine Your Faith in God:
If you had been going through tough time now. Remember that it is not the end of the world, thing will turn around someday. At the end of the tunnel there will be light. You need to live in the presence not in the past. Our God is capable of changing every situation.
Experience God in Your Spirituality:
His grace is more than enough for you and cut off from Him you can do nothing.Without Him we can do nothing, nothing at all but thanks be to Our Lord Jesus for we are in the dispensation of grace and His grace is sufficient for us. When you have personal encounter with God you will know Him better and can be able to define your relation with Him. Just like in the case of Saul who later changed his name to Paul(Apostle) after conversion. He experienced God himself, to him resurrection of Jesus is no longer story but life experience. Experience is always the best teacher.
