I will be the first one to admit that I am a control freak. I could (and probably will) do a whole blog on how giving up control is the hardest thing for me to do. Once I took a spiritual gifts test and I actually scored a 3% (i think out of 100) on faith. It’s clearly something I struggle with.
Related to that is trusting. Not just the “I trust that my seatbelt is gonna do its thing when I need to suddenly stop” but pure, no doubt, resolute, unshakable trust.
That’s actually really hard.
Completely trusting someone. That means having complete and total faith that they are going to hold true to what they promised. As fallible man, it’s hard because we break our promise, we lose trust. But that’s what’s cool about looking to God. We have to get over ourselves and realize that He is more than a man, He is what and who we can trust 100%…it just takes some getting used to.
With the inconsistencies of this world it’s tough to trust. Sometimes it is hard to not wonder where the next rent check is going to come from. I need to rely on God who is consistent.
Philippians 4:6-7 says
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 26:3-4
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
