Trusting God Has a Cost

Let’s Journey Together and spend a Moment with Father.

I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.

What does trusting God look like?

Noah was asked to do the impossible. Build an ark to hold multiples of every creature. Is this what trust looks like?

God told Noah that rains were coming and that water would cover the whole earth. It had never rained before. Up to this point, water came from the ground, never from the sky. Is this trust?

Noah was ridiculed by his neighbors and family. Others questioned how this could ever happen and laughed at Noah’s belief.

Noah chose to trust God.

He built the ark and was saved from the flood.

The laughing and ridicule of men stopped.

“Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did” (Genesis 6:22 NKJV).

Sam and I are experiencing moments of trusting God.

Should we keep our property on the market or take it off? After all, if the house sells, where would we go? With property prices going through the roof, it is impossible to find a forever home we can afford.

When people ask, “Where will you move?” We say, “God knows.” Occasionally, you may hear us mention Abraham as we look at each other and smile. We’ll go wherever God leads.

We realize our thinking isn’t logical.

Yet. We trust God in this and all situations.

Easy? No.

Trust, for us, is only possible when we lean deeply into the Lord. Stay in His word, and pray. Pray. Pray.

What is God asking you to trust Him with?

What does trust in God look like for you?

Oh, my friend, remember the size of our God. No one and nothing compares to our Lord.

In these times, our trust in Father, Son, and Spirit will get us through everything.

Trusting God strengthens and renews our faith. He is trustworthy.

Let’s journey together.

Precious Father, help my unbelief.

Wipe away any doubt that traps me in the darkness hidden from the light of Your truth.

You, O God, are mighty.

You are the Creator of all things.

You purpose the winds and control the tides.

All of my trust must be in You, yet —I struggle in this area.

Open wide, Your arms that I may lean deeper into the understanding of You.

Drive away the clouds of discouragement that comes from others.

Help me to discern Your will and to trust Your timing no matter my understanding.

In Jesus Name.

Hallelujah.

Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22

May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.
