TRUST ANYHOW

August 19, 2013

The three Hebrew boys incurred the wrath of Nebuchadnezzar by not bowing to his idol, as a result, the king made it clear to them that their refusal was going to end them in the burning fiery furnace. They refused to jitter. Their response is one of the most inspiring one in the Bible.

As written in Daniel 13:17-18, the boys said “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.”

Wow! What a level of trust? Job did same thing in Job 13:15a when he said, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” In order words, even if He refuses to restore me back, I will still trust Him. Sir, God is looking for those who would trust Him irrespective of whether they get answers to their prayers or not. God can give a job, but if HE doesn’t, that shouldn’t stop you from trusting Him.  He is the Almighty and He knows best.

Most of us are conditional “trusters”, “if God would only do this for me, I will never stop trusting Him.” Whether you have answers to your requests or not, trust anyhow. No matter what you are going through, keep on trusting God and God alone. Psalm 62:8a says, “Trust in him at all times.” I understand it might be hard especially going by how you are feeling and what you are going through, but make up your mind today that no matter what, you will keep on trusting God. He is our only choice and source.

I pray that God Almighty would give you the grace and strength you need to keep on holding on in Jesus Name. Amen!
