Have Faith in God

We can be going through trouble, but we don’t have to remain in a state of stress and distress. Will we understand everything we go through? No, we won’t but we can trust God for the things we can’t control. Naturally, we are fixers. We want to know what the problem is. We want to be in control, and we want to change things. But for the things we can’t change, Jesus said to “have faith in God” (Mark 11:22). Have faith in his Word. Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” Never. God always comes through. The writer of Psalm 37:25 says, “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” God never forsakes the righteous.

So if you’re in control, you’re going to have problems. But if God is in control, you’re going to have victory. If God controls the situation, then we can control our response, which includes our attitude, our words and what we talk about, and on what we meditate. This is how we shake things off.

Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe God, believe also in Me” (John 14:1). The Amplified Bible says, “Let not your heart be troubled or distressed or agitated.”

“Let not” means you have the choice. You can choose to shake it off or you can try to control everything. Remember God has given you a spirit of power, not a spirit of fear! Don’t allow people or circumstances to steal your peace. You have the power of the Holy Spirit inside of you to help you walk in his peace as you trust God with your life.

When you start to feel a rush of distress, stop and say, “I’m not going down this road. I have a choice. I choose to trust God in this chaos. I am going to take hold of God’s peace right now.”
