I am guilty of not trusting God. It’s just so much easier to fret, worry, and trust myself, rather than extend faith and put my trust in God. I kick myself all the time when things work out and I don’t give God the credit. It’s crystal clear throughout scripture that God protects, provides, and promotes our well-being. If He says He will do this or that, He will do it. It’s just a matter of me choosing to trust Him or not. I can honestly say, when someone shows me they don’t trust me, I get upset, I feel like I’m being called a liar, and I want to retreat from the situation. When it’s all said and done, God is either a doer of His word, or He’s not. And in my lifetime, I’ve never experienced a time when He contradicted His Word.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation–so why should I be afraid?The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,so why should I tremble?2 When evil people come to devour me,when my enemies and foes attack me,they will stumble and fall.3 Though a mighty army surrounds me,my heart will not be afraid.Even if I am attacked,I will remain confident.
