GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOU | Begin Trust God With Every Detail In Your Life

can you trust god with the details of your life so many people would say yes when answering this question however when placed in a situation where they actually have to trust god a lot of us would struggle in different ways some of us would struggle because we don't have the patience to wait for god to act we're so used to next day deliveries and convenient services that we struggle to wait patiently and prayerfully for god to act in our lives the doctrine of god's providence teaches us several important truths first god cares about the tiniest details of your life nothing escapes his watchful eyes absolutely nothing escapes his notice for he is concerned about the small as well as the big after all we have to remember that god knows when a sparrow falls and he numbers the hairs on your head with this knowledge how then could you and i think that god doesn't care about the things that weigh on our hearts and he does it always for his own glory think of providence as the invisible hand of god moving through the circumstances of life i say all of this to simply encourage you to trust and wait on the lord jeremiah 17 verse 7 and 8 the bible reads blessed is the man who trusts in the lord and whose hope is the lord for he shall be like a tree planted by the waters which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes but its leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year of drought nor will cease from yielding fruit to fully trust in god we have to relinquish full control to put it another way it's to abandon trust in yourself or in another human you stop trying to fix it yourself and you allow god you yield to god you surrender all control to him and to do that in this day and age is to go against everything we're taught and trained to do we're expected to stay on top of those emails at work we have to take control of our career our business we need to take control of our kids futures and education so much of our lives today require control but the lord operates differently when it comes to the aspect of control now i'm not saying you should neglect your responsibilities what i am saying is that you do your part you show up to work with the right attitude and you work hard but don't start fighting over a promotion or position don't be jealous when you think you deserve something more those are the situations that you are to relinquish control and stop trying to fix it yourself but hand it over to the lord i'm telling you that in all aspects of your life you need to accept that in the grand scheme of things your control is limited what you can control is your effort on a daily basis your attitude on a daily basis that's what you can control the rest you leave it up to god pray that god intervenes in that situation with your boss or supervisor pray that god steps in when it comes to who your kids are influenced by at school pray that the lord will see your hard work and reward you remember that the bible says you are blessed when you place your trust in god you are blessed when you place your hope in jesus and here's what i've learned when you fully trust god he becomes your strength when the situation ahead looks dim and bleak when the mountain ahead looks to be too great for you i want to encourage you to place your trust in jesus put your hope in the lord we have a god who can make a way where there seems to be no way we should be placing our hope and faith not in the promises of man not in the resources or abilities of man but in the promises of an everlasting god so child of god seeing if you have to but put your trust in god raise your hands and worship if you need to but make sure that you're trusting in the lord lock yourself in a closet to pray do whatever you need to when things get tough just make sure you're trusting in jesus god can hear your cry even in the midst of adversity hold on to his unchanging word isaiah 40 verse 31 says those who wait on the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint there is strength in waiting on the lord and if you're asking the question how do i find my strength the answer is right here wait on god you can wait in worship you can wait in prayer you can wait by meditating on god's word but the one thing we must never do is give up never stop waiting on god never give up on waiting on god he will give you that blessing in his perfect timing he will bring you that opportunity in his perfect timing isaiah 40 31 is a promise that tells us we will be stronger when we wait on god we will renew our strength only if we wait we will run and not be weary only if we wait we will walk and not faint only through waiting so press on press on through your struggle press on and waiting for god and the lord will be sure to meet you at your point of need if we are followers of christ we don't have to be bound by fear because of his amazing love we are victorious we are more than conquerors we are children of god so what do we do with all this anxiety how do we deal with all this worry we've been carrying around the bible gives us a simple answer pray about it the bible says to make our request known to god because he cares for us he wants us to know that everything will be all right instead of despairing every moment of every day let's be people of prayer let's be people of faith let's be known as people who rise above anxiety and trust that no matter what god is in control as people we often want to know all of the answers however i would like to encourage you and tell you that god is suffering meaning that he will possess supreme and ultimate power and because he possesses all authority all power and knowledge this means that our part is not to question god we are not to demand answers or feel as though we're on the same level with god or that he has to explain himself that's not the case our part is to have faith that god means what he says and he says what he means if he says all things will work together for my good then my part is not to ask how but it's simply to trust that god honors his word [Music] you
