Decisions Decisions Decisions!!!!!

Have you ever gotten to a stage where you feel like you have to make very important decisions that would shape the path your life would go in. I mean there are no guarantees there are no certainties. A lot of other things may be  depending  on this decision .  It has to be the right one but what if it you make it and it  is not the right one then what. You know what I discovered there are things you can control and some things you cant control but it so happens that we just  worry regardless.It happens that a lot of us worry about the future when we haven't been there yet .We focus so much energy on worrying about this future thus forgetting to remember the one who has been there   I knew you before you were formed in your mothers womb-Jer 1:5
I found that when you find yourself worrying you have to check yourself. There is something that may be shaky and that is your trust in God.Therefore the Question is Do you trust God concerning this issue. There are some issues that you deem  unnecessary to concern God with and sometimes we might not acknowledge him at all.
Yet the scripture says "  In  All your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path" prov 3:6
What is it to Trust?
A firm belief in the ability, integrity, character of a person or thing. - dictionary.com
Why Would You Trust A Person?
I had a conversation about trust with a friend . I asked this friend if he trusted me . The reply was Yes. I asked what do you mean by you trust me and he replied by saying there are some certain things  I am certain you could never do (he listed them) even if I was told by a multitude of people that you did it . I will still doubt it.There it hit me . If another human could love and trust so much in the character of a human which could fail and disappoint at anytime then why do we doubt the character of God  ?
Why Trust God
 The bible says he honors his Word more than his name. Therefore If he says that Your life is in his hands and no one can snatch you from his hands, that is what it is. Jesus in the book of John said
" My father who has given them to me is greater than ALL and no one can snatch them from my fathers hands -John 10: 29

God is greater than ALL (whatever it may be)He will guide you and he will lead you and I tell you nobody can snatch you from the hands of the Great shepherd because he guards and leads his sheep. Things may be going on and may seem contrary to what he said but if he said he will do it. All you need to do is stand on his word declare it and trust him. The scripture also says

"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
but water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;
It shall not return to me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall Prosper in the thing for which I sent it.- Isaiah 55:10-11

As long as you see the rain and snow, remind yourself that all God has said concerning you will come to pass.

I want to encourage you today that as long as long as it rains and snows,  all God has said concerning you will come to pass. You might be at the verge of making a serious decision and you might feel so overwhelmed and stressed but you don't have to .You can tell and trust God with it today .If he was not concerned he would not have said in All your ways acknowledge me . What has he said concerning that issue let him know that you trust him because he is God and he is in charge of your life no one else.

Lean on him you can trust him with all of your heart . Lean not on your own understanding God has got your back.  Just do your best , Pray,trust God and rest in him. He has never failed and he will not fail you now.

God Has Got You Covered

With lots of love
