Thirsty Thursdays: Trust & Believe

Life, full of ups and downs truly is quite the roller coaster ride. Some moments seem to go smoother than others. Then there are those moments where nothing seems to go our way. We can feel as if we are stuck in a rut, caught in a continuous cycle of disappointment, heartbreak and let down. We wonder why us, what did we do to deserve this, when will it be over and what can we do to get out?  It is in these times that we must seek God, remain faithful and continue to BELIEVE.

  
No one said life would be easy or sweet and dandy all of the time. We go through life facing many different tests, trials and tribulations. As we endure hard times it is imperative that we lean on the Lord and TRUST in his word. We’ve heard the saying “God will never give you more than you can handle”, as cliché as it may seem it is true. Continue to press on and move forward, knowing God is with you every step of the way. We must encourage each other, providing extra support and motivation to remain hopeful and positive.

Sin disconnects us from God, clouds our judgment and blinds us from the truth. “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end” Hebrews 3:12-14. As we “walk THROUGH the valley of death…” (not sit, stand, fester, or convene in a pool of sorrow, lounging in doubt and self-pity) "...I will fear no evil, for You are with me..." We can and WILL overcome our situations. God is able, he will not leave you nor forsake you, TRUST in him and in the end you will have victory that will be TOTALLY AWESOME, higher than your lows and greater than your expectations.

Your current situation may look bleak but have faith, “Now faith substance of things hoped for evidence of things not seen”. Don’t be like the generations of Israelites that were wandering 40 years in the wilderness due to their unbelief. God has done so much for you and will continue to do so, TRUST and BELIEVE. HE IS MARVELOUS
