The Benefits of Trusting God

By Tara J Black, MSW, LMSW

Jehovah Immeka- The Lord is with you

Has God ever given you a vision with all the details? You immediately became excited, but when it came to actually putting it into action, you became overwhelmed with fear.  When we look from our perspective, this will be our response. There is no need to fear because he is Jehovah Immeka- The Lord is with you.

God often chooses the most unlikely person for the most difficult tasks. He used David to slay a giant when the odds LOOKED against him.He used Esther to stop a Genocide of Israel.He called 12 unlikely men (mostly fisherman and tax collectors) to be his disciples.

So if you are questioning God as to why He chose you for the difficult task, you’re just the perfect one for the job.His ways are not our ways or his thoughts like I our thoughts. For is far from the east is from the west so is his ways from ours. (Isa 55:8,9).We have to trust the call when God calls. And it doesn’t matter if you ask for signs, because he will provide them. But his sheep know is voice. (John 10:27) Step Strong, you will not fail. 

Like us, Gideon had a doubting problem. Gideon saw God face to face and still doubted yet God continued to speak with Gideon. At this point he could hear him as we hear today by way of Holy Spirit. We can hear him yet speaking and calling us. There is no where we can go that God is not there. (Psalm 139:1-13) There is no where we walk that God does not walk with us . There is not a task that He calls us to do that he will not be right there, guiding, empowering, encouraging, and giving us strength. WHY DO WE DOUBT THE CALL OF GOD? When He is I AM THAT I AM. Let them look talk and stare. One thing about people they are going to talk. And I say LET them! Step Strong. You will not fail.
