Are You Seeking and Trusting God All The Time or Just In The Tough Times?

Are you trusting God with a little or are you trusting Him with the whole lot?  A lot is defined as a particular group, collection, or set of people or things.   What we tend to do is divide our lives into "lots".   The things we think we can handle and the things that we think we need God's help on.  What we have to understand is that we need God's help in every area of our lives.  

We have to make up in our minds that we are going to trust God in all things and with everything.   We have to understand that there is nothing that we can do without Him.   He is the very air that we breathe.     He's not just God in the "tough times".   He is God "all the time".  

The thing is, life brings with it trials, temptations, and sometimes, sickness and disease.    But God is our strength, our source, our healer, and our deliverer.   Even when there are things in our lives that we feel that we are capable of handling on our own, we still have to trust God for direction.   If He doesn't show us how to handle situations, there is always the possibility of us messing up or the temptation of of depending on ourselves instead of Him.

God is God all by Himself and He is well able to take care of every need in our lives.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION    Isaiah 12:2
Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; He also is become my salvation.
