TRUST AND OBEY

“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honour; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”
Psalm 84:11
Main Text:

Have you been in any kind of unpleasant situation before? Believing in God and trusting Him is easy when everything is going on well and smooth, and there doesn’t seem to be anything bothering you. But to truly declare God’s goodness even when trials and confusion surround you takes real trusting in God. Consider all you have gone through in this past months, you can say God has been so good; January went well without any serious crisis. February recorded some pockets of violent attacks in some parts of the Nation, Presidential election was postponed and final conducted. In all these God has been so good to us.

Beloved, even when things don’t make sense, keep a positive attitude knowing that God has your best interest at heart. You don’t always have to figure it out on your own. You can choose to trust God in everything, and live freely experiencing His blessing in your life!

As a child of the Most High God, your steps are ordered by Him. He has a specific place of blessing prepared for you in this year of His Kingdom. When you live a life of obedience to the word of God, He promises to supply every one of your needs. Just as God directed Elijah to his place of blessing, God is directing you, too. He’s aligning the right opportunities for you and causing the right people to come along your path to help you get ahead. He’s constantly working behind the scenes on your behalf. But you have to do your own part keep your heart open by following His Word and trust in Him. A major key to keeping your heart in the right place is choosing to obey His word. The Bible says that obedience is better than sacrifice. In His word, He has commanded the blessing to follow as many that will obey Him.

Prayer: Help me to always trust You for all things O Lord.
