Unwavering Trust In God - 10-Day Devotional

DAY 4 OF 10

Disappointments Be Gone!


The Lord gave me a simple little statement to say out loud every time I am faced with an opportunity to be disappointed. I am simply to say, "Lord, in this particular situation (name the situation) I choose to trust You." I have probably repeated that one phrase more than 10,000 times. And, I don't know what it is but there is something about saying it out loud that kicks the whole process into gear and releases the trust. 


You won't necessarily be able to prevent certain thoughts from knocking at your mind's door, but you can control which thoughts you allow in and think through. If you let in fear and doubt thoughts, the what-if thoughts, you open your mind's door that the Word might not work. When you do, trust goes out the door and in comes disappointment. At that point the Rock (the Word) becomes a stumbling block.


In the simplest possible terms you are activating an expectancy in and a dependency on God's integrity. This is not a mind over matter situation in which you refuse to think about your situation until it either goes away or gets better. I'm talking about a supernatural intervention. God says, "If you trust Me you will not be disappointed." God is big enough to work out any situation, no matter how impossible. The degree to which we trust Him determines the degree of victory we will experience. 


When trusting becomes a way of life, your life will become the most thrilling and exhilarating existence in the world. There is nothing more exciting than to constantly anticipate, in faith, how God is going to work out our impossible circumstances. 


Pray Out Loud:


Lord, this is how I want to live my life, with a new level of trust in You and in Your Word. Forgive me for allowing doubt to come in on previous occasions; forgive me for getting disappointed in You. I want to develop a renewed trust in You for living the life You have planned for me. Thank You for helping me. In Jesus' name. Amen

Unwavering Trust In God - 10-Day Devotional

We trust God with our eternal life, but do we trust Him with our daily life? Deep down we often direct our disappointments toward God, thinking somehow, He let us down. Trust is a decision, not a feeling! Trust begins by...
