Max Lucado, a renowned Christian author, stated, "In God’s hand, intended evil becomes eventual good."
Although we oftentimes lose heart when going through difficult times, we can feel peace if we choose to trust God even during the unknown times. As COVID-19 continues to ensue, it can be quite easy to fear the future and forget God's promises. However, what has helped me take control of my fear is training to trust God better. You see, God has an infinite amount of blessings He wants to place in our lives. He is a God of promises and has a plan for us that will bring abundance and fulfillment to our lives. Every time I find myself becoming fearful about the unknown and uncontrollable parts of life, God still ends up turning things around for His glory because He is the one in control. I wonder why I ever question His goodness.
When I look at my past and think about all the different experiences either I, or someone close to me, has gone through, I see God's grace and love through it all. Even during difficult circumstances, God does show up for us. It may not be as quick as we want, and maybe it's not in the way we want. But God is a loving Father who won't forget about us.
When we let fear distract us from staying focused on our purpose, we are letting Satan keep us from feeling at peace with God. We are letting Satan keep us from living the life God created us to live. However, we can choose to put trust in God over the fear of the unknown. The way that I have been trying to do this is by training to trust God more. There are three ways that I am training to trust God:
1. Remind myself of the ways God has shown up in the past
2. Make more quiet time with Him
3. Understanding that God is the only one in total control
I hope you all enjoy this episode. Let's all start training together to trust God more and more each day!
