Why Don’t I Trust Him?

Scripture Deuteronomy 9:23 And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh Barnea, he said, “Go up and take possession of the land I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You did not trust him or obey him.

Observation: I’m so much better than I was about trusting God, but why don’t I trust Him every time? He has always been faithful and true and has never let me down, plus He is God. It seems when I feel when I can do it on my own I stop trusting His direction and take things on by myself and that is typically where my down fall comes. I’m not sure why I don’t trust my Heavenly Father each time it is a combination of my sinful nature and the enemy egging me on.

Application: No matter what I need to trust my Lord and nothing else. I’m here because God has chosen me to be here and I can only fulfill His purpose in my life when I let go of my agenda and start trusting His. I need to get busy using my gifts and talents for His glory and not my convenience and trust His plan for my life and stop trying to make up my own.

Prayer: My dear Lord help me trust in you completely. I can’t do anything apart from you. I need your wisdom and guidance to make it through this life and I need to obey You in everything. I love and trust you.
