Trust!

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29: 11

Trusting in our Heavenly Father is the one of the most important things that we could ever do in our walk in Christ. Trust in our Lord is one of the foundations of which we stand on in following him. One thing that the Lord taught me in the beginning of my walk was to correct my stance and my posture on how I approached him. And it was about how I trusted him. I had such a difficult time trusting in my walk in Christ that it showed in how I spoke to people, in my finances, and how I viewed everyone else around me. The Heavenly Father could see it plain as day in the way that I spoke with him, and I wouldn’t come to him for any help with my situations, and I had an attitude. We don’t even realize how much of our attitude really comes across and shows the Lord how much we really trust him.

When I think about Abraham and Lot’s story, I can really see how much Abraham surrendered fully to the Lord. That he trusted him and believed in him that the Lord would deliver on all of his promises, and that he would fulfill what he was going to do for him. Lot on the other hand, who is Abraham‘s nephew, did not trust in Yahweh. It is not that he didn’t know who The Heavenly Father was, it’s just that he did not trust or have a connection with the most high Yahweh. When we show trust and we give our Heavenly Father all of our trust, we are showing him that we believe in him. We are showing him that we know that he is going to come through with what he promised us. So we are willing to go forth and do our part without even being given anything just yet because we have trust in him, we have faith in him. We know he’s going to deliver on what it is that he said he was going to do, but more than that, we trust that the Lord is going to be there for us throughout it all. That he’s never going to abandon us, and that he’s never going to leave us. That’s what Abraham understood about our Lord, even when Isaac’s life was on the line. Meaning when the Lord asked Abraham to deliver up Isaac as a living sacrifice, Abraham trusted in the Lord that he would deliver his son back to him. Abraham knew that The Heavenly Father was going to bring back Isaac, because the promise went through Isaac not through Ishmael. So how much do we actually trust in our Lord like Abraham? Our heavenly father is going to deliver on anything that he says to us. We have to give him our all so that we can understand how faithful he truly is.
