Today, I am trusting God for...

Coming across this challenge when Im doing my devotion and I find it interesting to share it out to others... to give it a try!


Try to complete the sentence "Today, I am trusting God for...." in 10 different ways...




Done?




If you are able to list out 10 different ways, congratulations! You are able to trust full in God than putting trust in person or objects. What's the meaning by putting trust in an object? Tick the below calamities you have experienced in your lifetime:


_____ Sat in a chair that collapsed under your weight
_____ Had a flat tire on a busy streets
_____ Loaned something of value and had it lost of damanged
_____ Set the alarm clock for 6 am and it rang at 8am


These are the examples of misplaced confidence according to the devotional material. We tends to put trust in an object (such as a chair, tire or an alarm clock) and it might/would let us down. Or we relied on another person who failed us.


Read the passage Isaiah 28-30.
"Isaiah warned both Ephraim and Ariel not to put trust in the armies of Egypt, for they will fail you. But put the trust in the Lord of hosts, for He will never fail your nor forsake you."

So, it is good to start our day with the reflection of whether we put our trust more in person and object than the Lord Almighty.
