Bible Verse of The Day – 12-11-20

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.

If you’ve been with us for any length of time, you probably already know that one of the biggest things we do is teach people to draw near to God and to trust Him with every aspect of their lives.

This is one of the most important things we can do as a believer.

Many people might not understand why this is so critical, so let me explain.

God is omnipotent (all-powerful). There is nothing that’s too big for Him. There is nothing that He can’t handle.

And He is omniscient (all-knowing). There is nothing that He doesn’t know. There is nothing that surprises Him or shocks Him.

We, on the other hand, are limited in our thinking. We are frail. We worry. We get stressed by things that we don’t know. And we become afraid of those unknown things.

Being close to God and learning how to let Him lead us helps to solve all of those weaknesses and frailties.

As we learn to trust Him, we begin to spend less time fretting over things that are beyond our control. We spend less time stressing over them. We worry less.

And we begin to understand that even when we might not necessarily see Him moving, He is working on our behalf behind the scenes.

This is the case for absolutely everything we will encounter in our lives.

You see, being a follower of Christ doesn’t mean that we’re promised a life full of massive blessings, nor does it mean that we’re promised a life free of trials and tribulations.

On the contrary, Jesus told us that trials and tribulations would come.

What sets us apart, though, is that we know the One who is above it all. We know Who holds us in His hands.

And being a child of God means that, no matter how dark times might get or seem to get, we don’t have to spend every waking hour worrying about the “what if” factor.

Yes, we are still human. So, our emotions will still pull on us, trying to get us to fear the unknown. But as we draw near to God, learning to lean on Him for hope and assurance, we will spend less and less time worrying, and more time letting Him lead us and show us the way to go.

Trust Him.
