By Being Open To God's Leading - Love Beyond
Only in trusting God can we overcome our fears.
What is the biggest or craziest risk you've ever taken in your life? Did you have
complete trust that things would work out, or did you have some underlying fears
and doubts?
God asks us to trust Him completely, even when it requires sacrificing security and stepping out in faith. For Abraham, it was leaving behind everything familiar to go to an unknown land.
Trusting God means surrendering control and overcoming our fears. It's like a child trusting the voice telling them to jump into the pool - they have to overcome fear to follow.
Abraham's faith was tested and strengthened through God's big asks over time - possessing Canaan, having a promised child in old age, sacrificing Isaac. Each time, the call was to trust.
Biblical faith implies deep reliance, confidence and hope in God even in the face of doubts, anxieties and uncertainty. Complete absence of fear is not required.
Define a way you want to trust God more. Share it with someone!
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths
straight.
Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in
my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open
the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be
room enough to store it.
