Hey, good morning.
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:32.939
Here's your encouragement for today.
00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:45.379
Proverbs 3:5 says,"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." There are times when we want God to explain everything before we're willing to trust Him.
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:55.150
We wanna know how the situation is going to work out, what the next step will look like, and why He's allowed something in our lives to happen in the first place.
00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:57.810
But God doesn't always give us an explanation.
00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.659
He gives us Himself.
00:01:00.230 --> 00:01:05.099
Trusting God means believing that His wisdom is greater than what we could see right now.
00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:10.939
It means remembering that His character does not change simply because our circumstances are confusing.
00:01:11.349 --> 00:01:22.230
Maybe there's something in your life today that you cannot figure out, a relationship, a decision, a health concern, something involving your family or your future.
00:01:22.730 --> 00:01:27.670
You don't have to understand everything that God is doing in order to trust the one who is doing it.
00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:28.579
R.C.
00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:39.299
Sproul once said,"Faith involves trusting in the future promises of God and waiting for their fulfillment." So today, bring God what you cannot control.
00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:51.630
Trust what He has already revealed in His Word, and then ask yourself a simple question:"What is the next faithful step God is asking me to take today?" You do not need the whole plan.
00:01:51.670 --> 00:01:55.120
You just need enough grace for the step that's in front of you.
00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:56.799
Well, let me pray for you.
00:01:57.740 --> 00:02:02.040
Father, help us to trust you when we cannot see what you are doing.
00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:08.210
Forgive us for the ways that we lean on our own understanding and try to control what belongs to your hands.
00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:14.939
Give us wisdom give us wisdom for today, courage for the next step, and confidence in your goodness and faithfulness.
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.680
Help us to walk by faith and not by sight.
00:02:18.009 --> 00:02:19.689
In Jesus' name we pray.
00:02:20.250 --> 00:02:20.840
Amen.
00:02:21.810 --> 00:02:23.069
Remember this today.
00:02:23.310 --> 00:02:27.549
You do not have to understand everything that God is doing in order to trust Him.
00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:29.609
Take the next faithful step.
00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:31.780
This is Lessons for Life Daily.
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.270
Walk in His grace today.
