Trusting God to Fulfill his purpose in You
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path. (Proverbs 3 vs.5-6)
This is one of my favourite verses that help me stand and trust the Father. As a new author writing Christian romance/adventure books with lessons of spiritual warfare in some. I find that I am tested many times to see the depth of my faith in Christ, even while He’s the one that inspire me with each book that I write. It’s like He allows me to endure difficulties in my life and watch me fight my way through in order to help me develop characters and in doing so I can relate more with those who will eventually come to read my books.
While I am enduring the trials that come my way, sometimes I feel physically worn out to the point of tears. It is scriptures like the verse about I added in the top of this post, I must declare to myself to stand firm in trusting God and His divine plans that he revealed to me for my life. It is then that I pray for Him to give me endurance to pass the test and not bring shame to His name as I am the express image of Him here on earth as are all His Children and we must remember that our life’s reflect him in all we do and say.
As I have grown passed the stage of complaining before God and, ‘asking why me Lord?’ I now see the big plans that He has for me and happily allow him to use me for His glory but as I was saying before, enduring difficulties are made to see how much you will stand for God in spite of and I have endured and I have persevere and I still am, (1 Peter 1vs.7 is a verse to stand on in such situations) and I know that I will be a hugh success. When I find myself worn or feeling weak from all the challenges that I face, I remind myself of what Paul said and hold on to that word. For if the great apostle Paul had that to say who am I to feel I could be different and I humble myself in wherever I find myself and not complain.
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. (Philippians 4:11-12King James Version (KJV)
