Trust and Obey


Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. - Psalms 3:5-6

Last Sunday, Pastor preached on Trusting and obeying God, my mind couldn't but wander on how we suffered incessantly simply because we couldn't trust God enough. The people of Isreal were suppose to get to the promise land in just 40days. Guess what? They ended up spending 40 years. That happen because they choose to believe the words of men over the words of God.

Unbelief, doubts and fear can make you missed your blessings. Abraham couldn't wait for God to fulfill His promise, He for Ishmael and up till now, Abraham seed are still facing the consequences of Ishmael.

God doesn't bless by mistakes, He is not a God of coincidence. Whatsoever He says He will do, He will do it. If you can't trust and Obey God enough to do what He says He will do, you are yet to be a believer. Our faith in God to bring to pass His Word for our life is what strengthen our relationship with God.

Saul missed it simply because He couldn't obey God enough. Caleb and Joshua believed God’s Word well enough that even when there were giants in the promised, they, unlike their 10 other counterparts, choose to see through the lens of God's  Word for them.

Trusting and obeying God is not doing part and leaving part like Saul. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart not with SOME of it.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
