Today's Truth: Trusting God more

This 2014, deepening my relationship with God is one of my priorities (top of the list). So as I was seeking God this morning and just being quiet and still, I was led to reflect on my relationship with God as is. As I reflected,  I was led to the conclusion that I could use a healthy dose of trusting God. After reflecting, God so worked it out that I should stumble on Joyce Myers' devotional on trusting God which confirmed this truth and learning. 

Here are my reflections:

If I believe God and trust He is going to show up and act on my behalf and in my favour (for His glory). Then I must continue to move in the direction of trust by working out my faith and pursuing God in prayer and being open and obedient to His voice. 

I cannot say that I am believing God and trusting God if I do not pray or prayerfully move in the direction where God is calling me. 

I cannot say I trust God if by my actions I am doing things contrary and opposite to what I am trusting God for. This is simply an indicator that I do not trust God or believe He is going to show up on my behalf. 

I cannot say I am trusting God when I contradict my trust in God by my spoken and unspoken words of distrust, unbelief and unfaithfulness. 

"Trust in The Lord with all of your heart and lead not to your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall make  your path straight (clear)." 

Introspection

Is it really trust if I can already physically see how something can and will work out?

Am I ultimately trusting in myself or people or systems rather than God? 

What would I do differently, today, and or stop doing if I really trusted God to supply all my needs according to His riches in glory?
