Creflo Dollar -Trust In the Lord
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
People have trust issues because they have been hurt in some way or have other insecurity issues that cause their hearts to become closed to others. The Lord requires that we trust Him with our whole heart.
In this written study we will learn the steps to developing intimacy with God, built on the foundation of trust. Sometimes it may seem hard to trust God, especially when the bills are due, debt is staring you in the face, and you don't know where your provision is coming from. Though these things may be frustrating and even disheartening at times, hold on to God's Word. He will help you when you put your trust in Him.
It is important to understand that trust is not the same as belief. You can believe God's Word, yet not trust that God will perform His Word in your life. When you trust God, you have an unwavering commitment to lean on Him, no matter what it looks like.
Another indicator that you are trusting God is that you will have peace. Frustration indicates that doubt and fear are present. However, the peace of God will overshadow you when you are anchored in God's Word. Your part is to keep your mind focused on Him instead of the problem.
When you trust God, you are empowered to prosper. Jeremiah 17:7 says, "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." Trusting God brings with it a guaranteed blessing! I don't know about you, but I want to succeed in everything I set out to do. Every failure in life is a prayer failure and a trust failure.
I want to encourage you today, understand that no matter what you are going through or facing, God knows your situation. He is willing and able to provide for you, protect you, and bring you to an expected end. All you have to do is take refuge in Him and trust Him (Psalm 34:8). Settle the truth that the Word of God is your final authority and that you are going to walk by faith and not by sight. You may not know exactly how God is going to solve your problem; just know that He will do it His way. Trust God and watch Him make a way.
