Can God Trust You?
Can God Trust You?

Most of us spend our lives wondering or questioning if God is trustworthy. Can I depend on Him during difficult moments? Can I trust Him with my life and family? We ultimately realize through Scripture and life experiences that God’s gifts are generous, and His care is constant. However, what if I were to ask you, “Can God trust you?” The answer becomes more difficult. Have we ever thought that God may be looking for people He can trust?
 
Trust is dependability—a deep confidence in someone. There are three questions we must ask ourselves. First, can God trust me through pain? Second, can God trust me with His provision? Third, can God trustme through prosperity? Genuine discipleship and servanthood is having the strength of character to be entrusted with treasure and still maintain our desire for God through pain or prosperity.

When God Seems To Fail Us
When God Seems To Fail Us

Have you ever felt that God has failed you? Have you experienced adversity that overwhelmed you and did not end as you expected?
 
Adversity visits all of us from time to time. Adversity is universal, impartial, painful, appears suddenly at times, and is often beyond our control. Unfortunately, followers of Jesus often think they are immune toadversity because they come to church, pray, or read the Bible. In order to stay afloat in the oceans of adversity, we must have resolute faith (trust) in God. When facing adversity, faith allows us to see who God is, see our identity as God’s children, and see our present adversity in the light of eternity. Trusting God does not mean that everything will work out to our desired outcome and it may seem that God has failed us; however, our hope that one day God will put everything right through resurrection in the new creation, gives us hope.
