TRUSTING GOD WHEN IT'S TOUGH

Text: Matthew 11:28-30
What does it mean to trust God

. To Trust is to believe in the reliability,truth, ability or strength of something.
When it comes in trusting God it means believing in his reliability, his words his ability and his strength.
Trusting God is more than a feeling. It's a choice to have faith in what he says even when your feelings or circumstances would have you believe something different.
WHAT IS COURAGE?
Courage is putting your life in God's hands when your hands are trembling.
HOW TO TRUST WHEN IT'S TOUGH*
  1. Cast all your anxieties on him. (1peter
    5:7; Psalms 56:8 mark 9)
  2. Seek truth in tje scripture (John 8:32)
  3. Look for things to be grateful for.
  4. Walk in the holy spirit (John 14:26)
  5. Remember God and spend time with
    him.
  6. Share your concern with your
    community.
  7. Wait on the Lord (Psalms 37:7;
    Habakkuk 2:3)

When your going through tough times God wants to

  1. Taste your reliability: if you can be
    reliable.
  2. Your ability: he wants to know if you
    have the ability to handle things.
  3. Taste your truth; if the love you said you
    have for hi. Is true and can stand the
    taste of time.
  4. Taste your strength; if you will be weak
    in serving him.
    Follow me once more as I unvail to you great people in the bible that trusted God even in their tough and worst times of life.

THOSE WHO TRUSTED GOD IN THE BIBLE

  1. DEBORAH ( Judges 4:14-15) - Trusting God through the demand of life.
    Deborah was a prophetess in those days and she spoke the word of the Lord and she also lead the armies to war what a great woman with a fearless heart, that trusted God and believed that God can't lie.

  2. ZECHARIAH AND ELIZABETH ( Luke 1:5-7;13-14;16-17.) Trusting God when a longing is unfulfilled.
    Zechariah and Elizabeth waited on the Lord during the tough time of their life, they believe that God will give them their own child In due time. And God gave them a child and that child was not just an ordinary child but a great child whose name is heard and we are still hearing, and that child is JOHN the long wait produced him.
    Many of us can't wait when the longing seems unfulfilled.

  3. WOMAN HEALED BY JESUS (mark 5:27-
    b 34) Trusting God is taking risk despite the pains.
    The woman with the issue of blood took the risk of touching Jesus, she believed and trusted God that if she can only touch the herm of his garment that she will be healed and her believe made her whole.

  4. MOSES ( Exodus 14:3-4,9,13-18) Trusting God when there is no way out.
    When Moses and the children of Israelites was faced wit the red Sea and the Egyptians he trusted God for the next way to take, and God asked him wat do u have in ur hands he said a rod and God told him touch the sea with the rod and immediately the sea partted ways for the children of God to pass.
    God will part every redsea in ur life if only u can trust him totally today.

  5. DAVID(1 Samuel 22:1-2) trusting God when life is not how he pictured it.
    When David was anointed that he will be king, that kingship didn't come easily, he ran for his life because Saul sort for his life, but David trusted wat God has said cus he know he will make him king cus he has spoken it.
    No matter the level God has told u dat u will get to, there will be challenges, and that challenges will come to see if you are fit for that next level.

  6. JOB (Job 13:15)
    He never trusted God less but his faith increased cus he knows that his Redeemer liveth.

  7. SHADRACK, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO (Daniel 3:12-17;3:18-22,24-25)
    The never bow down to the graven image they stood still because they know God is able to deliver them and he did.

    NOTE

    Many of us has bow down to challengence of life cus we think God is delaying, God is not a man and don't think like a man, the ways and will of a man is for God to do it shape shape. Whatever you asked for and God has not given you, it's for a purpose, it's either ur not yet matured to handle it or it's not the time for u to have it.
    No matter what u think u are going through God is aware of it and will surly deliver you from it.
    NOTE

    This is very important to know.
    WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST.
    Everything is in his capacity to give us but all he needs from us is to trust him and believe wholly that he can provide and make all things beautiful.
    I don't know the pains u go through and I don't wish to know cus I don't have solution to them but God has an answer to every questions going through ur heart.
    DON'T GIVE UP KEEP TRUSTING HE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN U AND WILL NEVER FORGET U. KEEP PRESSING AND HE WILL DO U WELL.
