“Entrusting Our Life To Him”
by Dona Hake
“Trust the Lord!” I hear it often and I am sure you do to. These are precious and powerful words that cause one to remember that their life is in the hands of the One that created the Heavens and the Earth. This all powerful God in which we are trusting has done great and mighty things. I will share a small portion of scripture with you of the power of His first words that He spoke for this is the all powerful God that we serve and trust with our life.
Genesis 1:1-3 (AMP)
The Creation
“In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness, and darkness was upon the face of the deep [primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth]. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.”
Today I just want you to ponder and meditate upon the great and mighty God that you have entrusted your life to. Let us think upon His miraculous ways and works. Ponder the many times He has blessed you, and put a testimony upon your lips when you thought your circumstance seemed hopeless. Praise Him for the many times He has showed Himself faithful to you. May these three words “Trust in the Lord” never become just a cliche. He desires that we trust Him with ALL of our hearts and never lean and rest upon our mere understanding of any given situation.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 GOD’S WORD Translation
“Blessed is the person who trusts the Lord.
The Lord will be his confidence.
He will be like a tree that is planted by water.
It will send its roots down to a stream.
It will not be afraid in the heat of summer.
Its leaves will turn green.
It will not be anxious during droughts.
The Lord will be his confidence.
He will be like a tree that is planted by water.
It will send its roots down to a stream.
It will not be afraid in the heat of summer.
Its leaves will turn green.
It will not be anxious during droughts.
It will not stop producing fruit.”
Enduring trust brings enduring fruit. As we continue to trust, He WILL show Himself faithful! Praise Him today for His wonderful greatness, and trust Him with all of your heart!
