November 3, 2024 - For the Church at the St. John Church of Christ
Do you remember the last time you experienced a challenging or difficult situation? Maybe you’re in the middle of one right now. We usually don’t get excited about going through them. In fact, when trouble comes, we sometimes ask, “Why is this happening?”
Many times, things happen that we simply don’t understand. But that’s okay—God doesn’t expect us to have everything figured out. We can trust that He knows and will take care of everything. He wants us to look to Him and say, “God, I have no idea what I’m going to do, but I’m trusting You to take care of me.”
The truth is, when we are facing difficult situations that we don’t understand, one of the best things we can do is to trust God. It allows Him to take the wrong things that have happened and work them out for our benefit. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
We can trust that He is with us through every challenge we face, and we are ultimately going to come out stronger in the end. Saying we trust God is one thing, but when we really trust Him and lean on Him, we enter His rest. We enter into his rule. We allow God to rule us.
Most of us have spent our lives trying to take care (rule) of ourselves, but we must learn to trust our lives to His care (rule). When we try to do things in our own strength and leave God out, we just get worn-out and frustrated. But when we fully lean on God, it brings us His peace. Trust God completely to rule your life for your benefit.
