TRUST IN GOD

 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3: 5).

People around us we see in someone you trust God? Someone who talks to the Lord in prayer and pounces on him all their burdens and problems? Someone who, like Job, Joseph and Daniel, know accept the crisis with confidence attitude, which does not lose heart and do not let your faith waver? Living a confident life and prove who really trust God causes a much deeper impression than just talk in confidence and hope this attitude of others. 

The reason plays an important role in the spiritual life and should not be disconnected. Sometimes, however, it can bring in the way if you are not under the control of the Spirit of Jesus. "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4: 7.,

"... Bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" 2 Corinthians 10: 5.

Doubt what God does and question His Word will not help at all our progress in faith. Only those who trust and believe that God knows what he does and that he always does everything the right way will keep the peace of the Lord in your heart. The Holy Spirit wants to watch the time to put into practice this unrestricted trust in God.

Someone said, "things that confuse us, situations for which we have no solution have a clear target: they are part of the puzzle of our lives. God knows where each piece fits. Obviously we would like to see the finished game, but as we live it is not finished. That's why we understand so little to God. It seems that every day we look at what your hands are doing, but we see only the parts that he moves, since here on earth will ever see the finished puzzle. " This requires trust!
