Proverbs 16:20 (nlt) --- Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.
There is something about people who trust God. They look at things differently. They get through the struggles and deal with stresses in different ways than you average guy or girl off the street. Why is that?
As I get older, as some of you know, I tend to be a bit more laid back, worry about less stuff and am able to trust God. Satan throws in his 2 cents from time to time making me think that I just don't care or I am not driven enough or that I am a failure. Just a little reminder for him and others today ... I care because God cares big time, I am driven because I called by God with lots of vision and I am successful BECUASE I trust God.
Confident or arogant? Oh well, trusting God is not arogance. It is faith.
Can you imagine defying your dad who has lots of power because of your faith? Jonathan did that in serving David.
Can you imagine disobeying a law to save your kid and let God have the kid? Moses' mom did that.
Can you imagine firing members of your army taking it from thousands to just 300 to take on another huge army? Gideon did and God rocked his faith along the way.
How we deal with the stress and struggles of life may not get us in trouble with the law or take us into combat, but it will give us strength for every day and purpose to live. Purpose has got to come from God and no where else.
What are you trusting in? What are you doing with stress and struggles?
Psalm 20:7 (nlt) --- Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.
Proverbs 3:5 (msg) --- Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil!
