We are all faced with a choice daily that renders the outcome of each encounter. Seems rather obvious, but the trust factor is dormant in many people. The lack of trust we initiate towards others dictates the degree of growth that stems from the incurring encounter.
Whether it be Doctor, or trainer, Boss, or spouse, friend, or even your Pastor; the direct impact often results in our perspective toward God. Why?? Simply because these external forces initiate a direct impact on our daily lives. Sometimes when things go askew, and the forces seem to be opposing everything positive, we ask Why?
The Greater Good, who is God Himself allows free choice to each and every person. The free choice mechanism leaves an unprotected void. This void allows the random act of life forces to come upon us against our will, when we do not choose God first! This is not to say that because you love God and trust God, and hold God first things will not falter also!
However, the greater miracle is you and I. We are made in His image. Therefore when we rise in the morning we should give ‘Glory to God’ in the highest! Why? Praise and exaltation belong to Him because He is and always will be. We are only specs. The take of the perspective of each life has a common denominator. That fact being we are all brothers and sisters through Jesus Christ, His Only Son! His perfect sacrifice initiated the completion of any question we may have about a real true loving God!
However over the Top it may be, we are all the same. We can refernce the scriptures regarding trust! JE SUS WALKS ON WATER TO PROVE THIS POINT!
In the Book of John Chapter 6 verses 16-20
In this scripture, Jesus is present even though they do not see Him. Jesus calming the water and walking to the boat is in and of itself a parable; in that Jesus knows life (the water) gets turbulent and though we do not see Him, we should always remember He is with us. Jesus is totally aware of our situations. Each turbulent storm is an opportunity to stop and consider Jesus walking towards us to calm our fears. Just as He calmed the fears of His diciples when the wind came up and He approached walking on water. The fact that He walked on water also can be taken to heart that He can do anything! So, how ever grave the situation He can and will walk to you and I through the most difficult ordeals. Prayer should be offored up to Our Lord during these times. Without fail, He will calm us through it all. We must ask to recieve His peace.
Unbelieveabley, it is during these times that we grow in closeness to Our Lord. To achieve the greatest degree of adoration to Jesus does indeed take suffering and praise! For Jesus Christ is able, and capable, and desiring of our growth in love and Faith! We do not disappoint Him when we persevere toward this; thereby reaching the ultimate, a faith so deep that it and only it is all we need!
