Do You Trust God With Your Life?

“I don’t know what God is doing to me and I don’t know if God knows what God is doing to me...no matter what I trust God."

This is a paraphrase from a quote from Howard Thurman. For those that don't know, Howard Thurman is an African-American theologian. Martin Luther King, Jr. carried a copy of his book, Jesus and the Disinherited, with him at all times. The above quote was spoken by Thurman in his latter days. The above quote may be viewed as controversial by some but what I see is an unrelenting trust in God by an individual. Thurman had the audacity to question if God knew what God was doing. However I submit that this is something that all Christians think at times. I don't know if anyone blindly believes in God. Most people have questions with the main one being why things happen the way they happen. With all this being said, let me get to the point...do we trust God with our lives? Many of us believe that God is all powerful and all knowing but do we really trust God with our lives? Do we trust that God will lead us in the right direction? Many of us would say "yes, I trust God," but if that means going in the valley for an extended period of time would we boast about our trust in God? Many of us claim we trust in God after we have experienced a blessing of some sort, but did we have that same trust when it appeared that God was absent? I seriously want us to consider if we REALLY trust God or not. Do we trust God with our lives or are we just providing lip service.

God Bless,
