Trusting God has become progressively easier for me over the years. The amazing thing about faith is watching how God honors His word.
My natural tendency has always been to lean on my own understanding and view everything that happens from my limited knowledge and experience.
When I read one of God’s promises in Scripture and it contradicts what I have always believed to be true, I have a predicament. Do I believe Him or do I hold on to what I always thought was reality.
Shortly after I started following Jesus I formed a presupposition that the Bible was inspired by God and the Holy Spirit is my teacher to guide me in understanding it. Now I realize that is a huge part of the foundation of my faith.
It is much easier to believe Him because He has proven Himself to be faithful so many times. Faith is one of the greatest gifts He has given me and I am eternally grateful for it.
