Some time ago, I asked someone, "How do you rely on God when your present reality does not reflect the word, He has spoken to you? How do you respond to the calling on your life when it feels as though you are stuck in a cycle of repetition?
In times like these, God is calling us to rely on Him. When God gives us His word, He is not focused on our present circumstances or past experiences, but on what He intends to do. There is a version of us that God knows, and He wants us to trust Him. However, for this plan to become a reality, we must align ourselves with His will. He desires to strip us of everything that is not of Him and bring us to a place of total dependence on Him.
The Bible reminds us in Matthew 28:20, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." God knows we will face fear, yet He continuously reassures us to "fear not."
He understands that there will be times we doubt, but He still says, "Fear not." I remember a time when I prayed to the Lord for something, and for four years, I waited. I knew He was going to do it because He had given me His word through a vision and confirmed it through His written word. I held onto those promises, yet there were times when I looked for ways to use my logic to explain the situation. Even then, I knew He had spoken, and I had to trust that He would fulfill His word. He is calling us to trust Him — trust Him with all our hearts, trust Him through all uncertainties. God's plans are beyond our human understanding, but He desires for us to invite Him into the midst of our doubts and fears.
We often find ourselves shaken by external circumstances, even after hearing from God both personally and through His word. The future is real, but it only comes to those who are willing to step into God's purpose and trust Him completely. We must open ourselves to God, allowing Him to take charge and guide us in fulfilling His plans for our lives. As our Father, He desires to bring His purposes to fruition in us.
It is not about what we have or who we are, but about who God is and what He intends to do. We must be vulnerable enough to trust the vision God has given us and to work intentionally towards it, knowing that He will bring it to pass.
In Christ, there is a reality far beyond our own understanding. When we truly rely on God, He begins to reveal to us the chapters and paragraphs of what has been written about our lives. It is time to release our grip on what we know and place our full trust in who God is and the path He has set before us.
Stay revived!
