Trusting God

TRUSTING ME is a moment-by-moment choice. My people have not always understood this truth. After God has performed miracles in the wilderness, His chosen children trusted Him intensely - but only temporarily. Soon the grumbling began again, testing God's patience to the utmost.

Isn't it often the same way with you? You trust God when things to well, when you see God working on your behalf. This type of trust flows readily within you, requiring no exertion of your will. When things go wrong, your trust-flow slows down and solidifies. You are forced to choose between trusting God intentionally or rebelling: resenting God ways with you. This choice constitutes a fork in the road. Stay on the path of Life with God, enjoying His Presence. Choose to trust God in all circumstances.

Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Thur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to March, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called March.) So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?" Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the Lord made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. Exodus 15:22-25

But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." - Psalm 31:14
