Trust & Obey, For There’s No Other Way…

Though we may sometimes doubt the truthfulness of God’s Word, question His motives in decreeing it, or lack an understanding of how it could come to pass, we will, in the end, see one of two things play out: 1) We will either trust in His Word and find that it, even when tested, always “proves true” and thus reap the blessings of it as we go through life or 2) intentionally keep its vitality at a distance as we search for “enough proof” of its credibility and "enough motivation" before trusting it, only to find that it ultimately “proves true”, and had we only trusted it sooner, we would have been benefiting from its power instead of reaping the consequences of denying it.

Seeing the Good in the Storms of Life

The winds of a storm can knock down trees, destroy property, and things that we often value. But sometimes, although we didn't think it was needed, some things are better off knocked down, changed, shifted, or even destroyed in our lives. It may be that the "tree" that the storm knocked down was casting a shadow in our spiritual lives, keeping the "grass" from growing and hindering us from experiencing the Light of the Son of God more fully.
