Living for God in a Godless Society Part 3

DAY 4 OF 5

TRUST GOD. ALWAYS.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego could feel the heat of the fire, yet they did not waver. They still refused to bow to anything or anyone but God. Inwardly, there must have been a tug-of-war between their fear and their confidence in God. They believed He had the power to save them, yet they knew He may not! They could stand at peace before King Neb without knowing what would happen next because they knew God was Almighty, sovereign over the universe, present with His people, and merciful toward them.

Many years later, after sharing some of the difficult things to come, the true King would encourage his followers, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Ask Yourself:

-After reading the Lord’s prayer and Jesus’ prayer before He is arrested, what do you learn about trust and faith?

-Am I okay if God doesn’t answer my prayers the way I want? Do I trust that God knows what is best for me, even if it's not what I had hoped for?

Pause to pray: Lord, I want to trust You with all my heart, no matter what. Even in the most challenging times when I don’t understand, and I’m not in control. Teach my heart to trust You. Amen.

Take a Next Step: Write Philippians 4:6-7 on a notecard or create a lock screen, so you see it frequently. Consider memorizing it so that you are reminded that even in your anxious moments, He gives you peace.
