Are You Trusting God and Staying Rooted In His Word?

Sometimes we get so caught up in what we think is going to happen that we fail to trust God for what we need to happen.    It's time to TRUST GOD.  


The Bible says to trust the Lord with all thine heart and to lean not to our own understanding.   When we lean to our "own" understanding, we are yielding to our own emotions, our own attitudes, and our abilities.    Truly trusting God means we have to let God's Word overrule how we feel.   That means we have to let God's Word be final authority and sometimes that is hard to do but you have to make up your mind that His Word overrules your emotions.


Jeremiah 17 tells us that blessed is the man that puts his trust in the Lord.   Not only is that man blessed but He is planted.   When something is planted it becomes rooted and hard to move.    You have to get the point where you don't let anyone or anything uproot "your" trust in God.   You can't make others trust Him but you can stand on His Word, stay rooted in His Word, believe His Word, have faith in His Word, and TRUST HIS WORD to be at work in your life.  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Jeremiah 17:7-8

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
