Questions: 6 Honest Answers About Trust

By
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.

Here we are at Day 40! I could not have imagined all that God would do over this 40 Day Journey and how the Holy Spirit would work in my own heart. Look at how far the Lord has brought us and how much He has shown Himself to us. I know the Holy Spirit was at work to transform our hearts and lives. This journey was represented by many ages and walks of life. I had an interview with Libby, a fellow sojourner, to find out how the Lord was working in her heart through this 40 Day Journey of Trust. 

1. Libby, why did you decide to take the plunge and do the 40 Days of Trust? I know what I should be doing, trusting in the Lord, but yet it is so hard. I needed something to remind me to rely COMPLETELY on God; something to help keep my mind focused on things that are positive and the way God would want me to think.

2. Did you have something specific in mind when you started this 40 Day Journey that you would be placing before the Lord? When I started this journey I had two things that I had in mind that I needed to trust God for: one was complete healing of my mom and the other was passing my drivers test to get my license.

3. Have you had times during this period when you felt like you were not trusting? During this period there were definitely times I know I wasn't fully trusting in God.

4. What did you do during those times you felt like your trust was absent? While I was going through these times I kept quoting Philippians 4:6-7 over and over in my head and sometimes out loud. These Scriptures also reminded me to hand over these requests again and to trust that God is in control. 

5. Did God minister to you in unique ways during this time? God definitely ministered  to me through these times. There were several occasions where God either spoke directly to me or spoke to me through someone else.

6. And, we arrive at our final question. What did God show you about Himself as you went on this journey? He reminded me that He is in control and that whatever the outcome of these two requests he never changes and His love for me never changes; even when I'm not completely trusting Him. 

A special thanks to Libby for sharing her heart with us. God was working in Libby's heart AND mind over the past 40 Days. I'm sure He did this for you too. Maybe you participated with us from the beginning or maybe you joined us later on in the journey; what did God teach you about Himself through this process? Feel free to share words of encouragement with everyone ~ your words may just be what someone needs to read. We're in this together!

Backed Into A Corner -- Thank God

By
The capacity to respond to adversity with faith and gratitude is not limited to spiritual "superheroes." Choosing Gratitude - Nancy Leigh DeMoss Precarious Position. Many times we find ourselves in a place where we would rather not be and our desire may be to run and hide. However, running and hiding may not be viable options and are probably not what God is asking of us in the current situation. The problems and issues we will face in life vary greatly from health, to relationship/marriage, finances, to the stress of looking for a job, or maybe like Job, we might have lost everything -- family and possessions. Often, it is when we have done everything in our human power to ameliorate our situation and fail miserably that we remember God. photo credit:  cindy47452  via  photopin   cc Powerful Response. When we find ourselves in situations and recognize our only choice is to look up to God we can have victory and relief. When we take the time to thank the Fathe

Common Ground: The Road Less Traveled

By
The Presence of God.  Ruth and Naomi found themselves in very trying circumstances after each suffered the loss of a husband and the inescapable grief that accompanies death. Scripture gives us a snapshot into their lives and we get a glimpse of the strong bond of friendship that took place between Ruth and Naomi. Was it the deep sense of   grief that brought these two women together in a way they had never experienced before? Perhaps these women were drawn to each other because they knew they were “alone” in the world.  More importantly, the presence of God is evident by Ruth's response to her mother-in-law.  Ruth reminds us and reminded Naomi of God's presence. The presence of God is the bond that unites our hearts as brothers and sisters in Christ. The Road Less Traveled photo credit:  B Gilmour.  via  photopin   cc Mutual Commitment. Naomi urged Ruth to go home to her mother in Moab hoping that Ruth would find another husband. Ruth refused to leave Naom
