Today, in our daily devotional for February 22, let’s look at the concept of The Privilege of Trusting God and acknowledge that trusting God is a necessity and a great honor.
Daily Devotional for February 22
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)
The Privilege of Trusting God
Many Christians find it difficult to develop a coherent faith. Theoretically, they know they should trust God at all times, in all circumstances.
But in practice, when the situation is clear, and the solution is obvious, they forget God and act on their own. When the problem is complicated, and there are unanswered questions, people suddenly remember that God exists in their lives.
People of mature faith are always aware, at every moment, that God is with them and is a loving Father. They understand that trusting God above all is a great privilege.
Trusting God also often means that one has to travel through life with unanswered questions. It is a journey in which the absence of answers does not mean a lack of direction but rather an invitation to trust God more.
Our Approach to Trust
You might have found yourself saying, “There’s nothing left to do but trust God,” as if it’s the last resort. However, it’s time to shift this narrative and see trusting God as the first and most privileged response to life’s challenges.
Trust as a Privilege
What an incredible privilege it is to declare, “No matter the problem, I get to trust God!” This perspective transforms trust from a fallback strategy to a proactive choice, celebrating our faith in God’s unfailing care and provision.
Not Everything is Up to You
God wants to take care of you, but His care is most evident when you step back a little and accept that not everything is in your control and not everything is up to you. Letting God into your life and trusting Him is the beginning of a life of peace and assurance.
