A difficult lesson; learning TRUST 101
Trust is often one of the most difficult lesson nobody enjoys to attend. Trust equate patience! When you trust someone you have to wait. Waiting is often the most difficult exams you can ever wish to write.
Trust is, I don't know if this can hold my feet but I am going to hold on titely
The matter of trust involves believing completely, holding on against all odds, pushing through even when it isn't pleasant. Trust goes beyond the word trust, it also mean seeing what's not there and staying when you have every reason to let go.
you remember the three Hebrews?
even if God doesn't save us from your hand, we will not worship your image
That's TRUST! But it's not as easy as it sounds! But when you go through it sure, you can understand it better. You can imagine what they went through, even at the point of been dragged into the fire, they still didn't deny what they believed, they trusted the God they know, they would not deny His power to save them even in the fire, He will be the greater fire( sure God consumed the fire because He is a consuming fire) but here another word beyond trust is seen
Convicted! Conviction
They were convinced of whom they trusted. You see, it goes beyond trust! You have to believe, strongly believe, convinced, be really sure, and you have to go beyond what is actually happening! Especially when what you believe contradicts what is happening around you? So many people often give up at this point! When they don't seems to make sense out of what they trusted, they give up and miss out completely.
But when it doesn't make sense, you can actually keep your trust alive and this can only be when you are convinced and truly sure of what you believe.
Take this story of a certain man called Daniel, okay this man is an example of trust. And afterwards, was accused. And then thrown into the lion's den.
But let's take this analysis, what really happened, God seemingly delayed his help for Daniel but what was the attitude of Daniel? We weren't told. But Daniel was human, how did he stand the condition or situation at that time? How did he still believed? Oh maybe, he was ready to be a meal for the lions hmmmmmm I keep wandering, if I were the one at that point what will I do?
defend myself? Run away? Stop praying because the king says so? I can't make sense of it all! Why would God delay the help?
Wow something amazing happened, Daniel in the Lion's den was ThE Lion of the Tribe of Judah in the Lion's den, A greater Lion The Lion King! And Daniel had Lions for a mattress! Praise God!
This is what trusting can do! But it difficult and it also worth it. Some, help come quickly while others come too late when we almost give up!
Trust means wait
But either ways, God is never late! And you don't have to make sense of what He is doing, you just trust Him! Whatever it is trust God wait for Him to come in, I could imagine Daniel waiting for the Lord to come to him in the Den, the three Hebrews waiting for JGod in the fire and God showed up! It worth the trust and wait
He is still the LION
He is still the consuming FIRE
He is still God from beginning to the end
And all flesh must depend on Him to live on because He has the numbers of the days he gave them and that is the only limit they can go no matter how powerful they are
Trusting is not fun but it's great! And don't forget in every facet of life, we need trust to stay on, trust in our relationships, trust in our dreams and all that we truly believe.

Thanks for reading, richly up vote pls
Sometimes it is difficult to wait.It's very difficult for human beings to sit still and trust in God.Your mind keeps telling you to get up and do something but the problem is while trying to work out solutions with our own human wisdom we often interfere with Gods plan. And als we often assume we know how or who God is going to use to solve our problems
and we try to get ahead of him but that assumption often leads down the wrong path.
Thats true Sammy, waiting is not easy. Thanks for contributing
Trust = patience
