My heart is the noisiest part of my body. It shouts in the silence of the night and restless in the stillness of thedawn. It's hard to keep it quiet and still. The questions and worrying adds up every minute.
God would always tell me that He is sovereign. I could always TRUST Him.
But honestly, I know that I would always give a half hearted 'YES'answer. I would always keep a little reservation to myself. Probably to protect my heart from disappontment or frustration.
Of course, God is not contented with my answer. He wants my FULL, One-hundred-percent trust. He will not stop convincing me until I'd give it to Him.
A cg-mate once texted me this message:
" ...as I have been with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you." -Joshua 1:5
Risk the trustworthiness of God.
Risk?
Why I am so afraid to risk when it is God who's asking me to trust Him?
Past experiences with people I trusted then betrayed or failed me somehow affects my attitude on trusting God.
But I have A LOT more reasons to trust God. I can trust His character, His power, His love, His heart... and the very fact that He will never lie is enough reason for me to give Him my one hundred percent trust.
This week, God gave me this verse that quieted my heart and placed me in the attitude of Trust.
"for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything" -1 John 3:20
I've read alot of verses that speaks about God being sovereign and trsutworthy. But I guess, there are really some verses that will strike your heart to the core. And this is one of those verses for me.
After reading and meditating it, my heart seems to be so serene. I feel that I am at the feet of Jesus listening to His teachings and just adoring Him for His goodness.
God knows my heart and knows everything. Why will I worry?
God is holding my life...and I am more precious than those lilies! =)
