Trust in the Lord

We continued the Series of Elijah in our Lifegroup meet today. Elijah had faith in the Lord and His prayers were answered even though the situation might not seem favorable at that moment.

What I have learned is that "Life is not a straight line". Although planning is good but we have to be prepared for some detours. Sometimes we may not end up in the place where we thought we would be but if we look back, it's almost certain that it's always better than we expected. God has been with us the whole time but we just not realized it when we were in distress. It's alright, that's where "faith" comes in. When things don't make sense or seem unclear, God wants us to trust in Him completely. Didn't we trust Him to save our lives? To give us eternal lives? Helping us through "life" seems like a much easier task for Him.

Trust God completely my brothers and sisters! Submit to Him, He has a better plan for us than we can hope for.

"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Pro 3: 5-6, TNIV) My very favorite verses in the bible.
