You know what I like?! Is when people talk about struggling with trusting God for whatever situation in their life and someone drops the standard church answer…Well in Proverbs 3:5 it says to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. And that is true. Do NOT misunderstand me. But let’s be honest. It is not always that simple or easy. Or, it is easy to be in this frame of mind when everything is rocking and rolling. But, I have spent some time recently journeying with someone very close to my heart. They heard God ask them to walk away from a career that they had worked very hard to get and that God blessed them with. They were very good at what they did. Everyone had amazing things to say about them and their work ethic. Questions came like, “why would God give this just to take it away?” and “He knows this is my hearts desire, so why?” Those things are hard to answer. Lets remind them of trusting in God but lets also give them a big hug. A shoulder to cry on. A safe place to vent. Lets not quote scripture, mic drop, and be gone. Lets take journeying with them serious. Lets commit to seeing this through with them. Lets commit to pray faithfully for them. Lets stand in the gap with them.
Lets let them know that while they are growing in trusting in God that they can trust in us!
Great insight and inspiration from a man who has repeatedly stepped out in big strides of faith.
Great message. Love you both and lifting you up daily.
