Happy Saturday!!
I have been super busy finishing up my semester and I have finals next week, but I wanted to share something the Lord has been reminding me of in this process.
God is so good and He is always teaching us in every season of our lives. I want to share with you some scriptures I have been focusing on for awhile now that have been teaching me a lot.
Psalm 56:13 says, "What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You."
I realize that it can be hard to trust God sometimes, but I truly believe we are the ones who make it hard. God has given us more than enough in His Word to stand on. He has given us His peace (Isaiah 26:3), love (Jeremiah 31:3), victory (1 John 5:4), joy (Nehemiah 8:10), and so much more! We can trust Him!!
The Lord has just been reminding me to not walk in fear, but to walk in faith. If you think about it, trusting God is walking by faith. It's a stand to believe what God is saying no matter what circumstances might say. Trusting God is choosing to believe His Word and His promises and not what's going on around you.
If you continue to read Psalm 56 it has sort of a theme about it. Verse 11 says, "In God have I put my trust and confident reliance: I will not be afraid, What can man do to me?"
I love how it says "confident reliance" because trust is having faith and confidently relying on what God has shown and revealed He would do for you.
Psalm 56:13 ends the chapter well by saying,"For you have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living."
The answer to what you've been facing is found in trusting God. I don't know what you've been up against, but God wants you to trust Him. It is only then that you can walk in peace and faith, relying on the truth that God will do what He said He will do!
I know in my own life right now, finals week is coming up, and I've been trusting God to get me through this. I've also been battling some symptoms in my body and standing on the Word concerning healing. I just know that He has never failed me before, and He won't fail me now :) He is soooo good!
I know God is going to do awesome things for each and every one of you! Just trust Him and walk by faith!!
