Trusting God

Moses asks his brother in law Hobab, who was a Midiamite to join them in their journey through the wilderness into the promised land. The reason for this queer invitation was that Hobab knew the wilderness and where to camp.

Is Moses so short sighted?

The promise is, the Almighty, All Powerful God is going to take you. And the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire is there for your guide and protection. And it's ascending and descending assures His presence althroughout. And he immediately seeks man's help.

Aren't we also like that?

The Lord promises something. He has led you thus far. But still we need an affirmation, a human wisdom. Does the Lord's voice seem abstract?

It could either be because we need solid wisdom from someone who knows better so that we wouldn't need to own up for our own decisions later on or there is this lack of trust in the God who has led us this far.

We need to tell ourselves. He is worthy to be trusted. He has led us this far. He will lead us further too.

Be still, wait. He will carry us through.

Trust brings peace that passeth all understanding and abounding joy.

He will take care.

The True One has promised - He has plans to prosper you.

The True One has promised - Your children will be taught by the Lord and great will be their peace.

The True One has promised - whatever you do will prosper.

The True One has promised Psalm 128 for your family.

The True One has promised - He will bless you.

The True One has promised - He is your very great reward.

Even in the midst of a roaring sea, His promise still holds true. He will not fail.

Trust comes out of assurance that the Lord has still got everything under His control.

We need to cling on. No matter what. And not doubt.

Doubt brings restlessness and bursts out.

But trust brings calmness.

So let us trust in the Everlasting God and not bring in our solutions.
