In this influence of a lifestyle of American comfort, it is easy, in fact too easy, to let our trust confide in our possessions or abilities. We know in the back of our minds that our trust should be solely in the Lord, but sometimes when we examine our lives, we find areas where this is the exact opposite. The opposite of trusting God is not only openly denying his ability to provide and be God, but to undermine it, even a little, by doing things that say that you dont Fully trust in the ability of God, that you know He is in control, but that you still want a backup plan, as if God could possibly fail. Here are some areas in our lives where we should examine our trust in the Father:
Money: In this economy, it is easy to put our trust in our savings account instead of God's promise to provide. We may tend to put money in our pockets for emergencies instead of giving to the Kingdom.
Time: We spend our days constantly on the run, as it takes more nowadays to make a living if you will. But do we trust God with time that we should give Him every day, do we even take time for Him daily?
Future: Do we try to plan everything from our day to the rest of our lives without even considering what God may want us to accomplish in a given day, or even in our lifetime?
These are just a few aspects to think about as you go through life, analyzing where your true trust in the Lord stands, and always pushing to let your trust in the Lord become greater and greater.
