TRUST IN THE LORD, NO MATTER WHAT COMES YOUR WAY!

Trust in the Lord, no matter what comes your way. I know what you are thinking, “easier said than done”. Believe me; I used to say the same thing until I started to use the words “I trust in the Lord” in my life. Saying these words and actually living by them are not always easy, but with the Lord’s help all things are possible.

I remember a time when I had to really “trust in the Lord”. I remember when they were about to sell/foreclose (because the house was previously under my parent’s name and at the time, it was under my sister’s name) on our house that we have been living in for a long time. It was not easy to see, the “FOR SALE” sign on the front lawn and the big question that the kids and my husband had was “Where are we going to live?” They saw realtors come in and out of the house with potential clients that wanted to buy the house. All I kept saying and trusting in God that we were going to continue to live in the house and not have to leave. My husband was not serving the Lord at the time was doubting and worrying everyday about the house situation, unlike me I slept like a baby with the peace that God provides when you leave your worries and cares to Him for He cares about us. I kept proclaiming and trusting in God that he can do all things that what we see impossible was possible for Him. Thank you Lord! We had less than a month to come up with the money to put the house under our name and keep the house. I prayed, fasted, and continued to trust in the Lord. As the days got closer to the deadline, my husband and kids would ask me more and more on where we are going to live. Doubt was coming over me because I was not seeing the money coming in, but having Faith of a mustard seed, I kept telling them, we are staying put, we are not going anywhere in the name of Jesus! Nothing is impossible for Jesus! I believed and trusted in the promises He left for us in the Bible for our everyday lives. When you trust in the Lord, he is always faithful and arrives at his perfect timing. The day before the deadline, we had the money needed to put a down payment on the house. The very next day which was the “deadline day” we bought the house and it is under our name. To this date, we are currently still living in our home. Glory to God! I’m so grateful to God that he helped me through by trusting in Him and Him only.
