Trust God
by Sam Blankenship
Proverbs 3:5: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” In a world full of trials and tribulations, we have to learn to trust that God is going to take care of the situations that may come our way. Things can happen overnight that we can’t control.

In those situations, we have to learn to trust God. Sometimes it might be a financial problem, sometimes
it might be a health problem, sometimes it might even be a marriage problem, but whatever the case, we have to trust God.
Psalms 18:2 says, “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust.”
A couple of days ago, I got the call that I wasn’t expecting stating that my dad had passed away. He had gone to the emergency room in the middle of the
6 // April 2020 night, and four hours later, he was gone. Talk about being shocked: that was me.
He had breathing issues, but we didn’t realize just how bad. Talk about a shock: one minute, he was there, and the next, he was gone. During this time, I’ve had a lot of different emotions, but God has given me the peace and the strength to get through this. Matthew 11:28 says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” The good news is that God will get you through those unexpected situations that you can’t control. That is the best thing about having a true and living God who will walk beside you, love you, and protect you in every way. I thank Him for doing that for me.
I’m reminded of how God brought Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego out of that fiery furnace and how Moses was able to get the Children of Israel across the Red Sea on dry land. They had to trust God in their situations.
You have to know that in this life we are living in, trials, tribulations, issues, burdens, and unexpected things will come our way at times. Just trust God; just lean on God. God is getting me through losing my dad, and He too will get you through your situation! Just trust God!
