As a child of God, this is the time to know who to trust in. Many people trust in their friends and relatives but unfortunately when they are in trouble or in great need, these friends and relatives will abandon them. Some even lean on their own understanding which is very limited only to a very small percentage of the little knowledge of the little education they have acquired from schools and universities of this world. Let me tell you that even your brain is not reliable at all to give you knowledge about the world around you. This is the reason why you find that even though you may be taught a lot on a particular subject in school, when you are examined on the same topic, you will struggle to say out everything that you were taught. At the most you may only be able to retrieve from your own brain only approximately 10 percent of what you will have been taught. If then your own brain or carnal senses cannot be trustworthy to give you the information you need when you are in an examination, how much trust can you then expect from friends and relatives who also have the same limited carnal senses? What I am saying therefore is that it is foolishness to fully trust in yourself or any other human person because all human persons are limited and very unreliable. Proverbs 3:5-6 is teaching you to trust in the LORD with all your heart. The LORD is the One Who created you for His Own purpose. His thoughts for you are not of evil but are of a future and hope. This means that the LORD only created you only for prosperity and success. Trusting in the LORD with all your heart means that you must take Jesus Christ at His Word. You must have faith in all that He has said about you in His Word. His Word heals you and is medicine to your flesh and bones when you are sick. His Holy Spirit gives Eternal life to your soul and He makes you a victor and more than a conqueror in this world. His Spirit gives you understanding which is unlimited and He brings excellence in everything that you will ever do even when everything around you seems to be hopeless. The same way He prospered Joseph when He was a houseboy and prisoner in Egypt is the same way He will prosper you no matter your situation. Jesus Christ came to save you because you were in a crisis which no one born of man and woman could ever save you. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will certainly direct all your paths and make you an overcomer. Jesus Christ is trustworthy and He wants to be with you and to live in you and to share in all your sorrows, grief, troubles and joyful times. In fact, He wants to fill you with His joy always. Remember, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. If you are currently waiting on God for a response, don’t give up. Your silent season may be preparing you for a testimony. Trust His timing. Trust His processes. God can be silent but present. A seemingly closed door can be divine protection and a delay can be preparation. Don’t let a quiet time or season convince you that God has forgotten you. Keep on praying and keep on believing what He has promised. He is faithful to fulfill in His perfect time. Remember that God does not move with human speed, but He moves with wisdom. Continue trusting all His processes even if the response is taking very long, stretching your faith. Mark 11:24 says, “Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” The barriers that seem to be there are not real and the walls ahead of you are all fake. Keep on going and trusting in the name of Jesus Christ and all will be well with you at God’s appointed time. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, help me to put all my trust in You because You are a faithful God Who always keeps His Word. I also want to acknowledge You in all that I do so that my trust in You is stronger. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
