Do you ever think, “How much do I really trust God?”
This morning I was reading Tim Challie’s blog, and was so blessed and encouraged to trust the Lord in a more real way after reading his heart-searching post. I especially could see a similar failure of faith in my own life:
I trust the Lord for myself. I honestly believe that I am willing to suffer, even unto death, for the sake of the gospel, BUT . . . I do not have such a vibrant and living trust that the Lord will provide for my family without me, or without my husband. God’s word clearly states But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. . . A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. – Psalm 68:3,5.
While the Lord grants me continuance of health and life, I will minister to my family. But, by His grace, I will seek more and more to entrust their well-being TO THE LORD.
See what you think. Do you also find this article convicting and yet helpful?
Joyce,
Thanks for linking to my article. I’m encouraged to hear that you found it useful. Thanks also for posting the words of Psalm 68–a perfect addition to the post!
