A thought by Steven Furtick (2010-09-21)
from his book, Sun Stand Still: What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the Impossible (p. 102). Multnomah
Books. Kindle Edition.
Have you ever
thought about the fact that if you didn’t have confidence in the ability for a
certain chair to hold you, then you would hesitate to sit in that chair? I mean, you might fall. What if you had that fear about every chair
then your fear would make it difficult for you to ever sit down?
That would be
a very frustrating way to live.
I am at
Starbucks right now and I’m sitting in a chair.
I sat down with no hesitancy, no fear because I knew it would hold me
up. I have sat in hundreds of Starbucks’
chairs and not once has one let me down. I
believed that this chair could be trusted and I was right.
I believe in a
greater measure that GOD can be trusted with my life. HE has never let me down even when life has thrown
some unexpected things in my path. I was
confident because I trust in HIM. One of my life verses is Proverbs 3.5 & 6
(NIV) and it says that if you, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to HIM, and HE will
make your paths straight.” If I trust in HIM and submit to HIM then HE
promised that HE would make my paths straight no matter what gets in the
way. My part is to trust and summit. Because I have trusted and submitted then I
believe HE’ll do the rest.
Because I believe that
then I live without fear or hesitation.
What about you?
We either believe what the Word of God says or we don't there is no in between. Commit thy way unto the Lord trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.
