Thoughts from a Random Mind 

 

“In every trial and affliction, we must always trust that Jesus knows what He is doing, and that all He does is done in infinite wisdom and love for us, and so it is the best for us.” - - Charles Spurgeon

 

            The key word in this statement from Rev. Spurgeon is “trust”.  The way the word is used has everything to do with the context in which it is used. The way it’s used above reveals that Spurgeon is speaking of trust in Jesus and by association, Almighty God. 

            Whenever we go thru a trial or some sort of affliction we must rely on and have confidence in the fact that the Lord knows exactly what He’s doing. We must learn to cast all fear and apprehension off like a winter parka on a 100 degree day. Our acceptance of God’s ability to be relied upon will cause you to sleep better at night.  

            Our confidence in God means we trust that He is reliable, honest, and has a high level of integrity. Not being in control of our own life’s trajectory can tend to be daunting, but in a relationship such as the one we have begun with God, that trust is a foundational piece that triggers mutual respect and personal security. Regardless of whatever happens to us in this life as a child of God, we can know that the Lord is with us wherever we go and when we make a foolish misstep, which we may do, the Lord is always watching and able to come to our aid in whatever form He feels is necessary.

            Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
