In my Bible, (well, my old Bible, now I use a Bible App that I can access across various devices and has reading plans and a note section) is this quote:
What are you trusting God for,
so that when it happens you know
that only He could have done it?
I have no idea who first asked this question and I only know that some point when we lived in Portland, OR I first scribbled it in my Bible.
As I reflected on this question, I began to wonder if I can entrust Him with the big things that are too big for me. Â So big I couldn’t comprehend a resolution. Â So, almost as a test, I started trusting Him for some big things – things too big for me and, no surprise to most of you, He has been faithful.
I’ve trusted Him with our family. Â I am a mom to five now!
I’ve trusted Him with our finances. Â School debts and lots of ignorance about credit cards led to a big financial burden, but now we live in one of the most expensive states and have bought a home. Â I couldn’t even dare to think it was a possibility but I trusted Him with it.
I’ve even trusted Him with the death of Joshua – that all things, even death, will be used for our good.
When things feel too big. Â Too hard. Â And I hear myself thinking words like “can’t” “impossible” and “it simply won’t happen” . . . I remember that I am not alone and He has been faithful before and will be faithful again.
