Trusting God in Times of Trial

Christians everywhere are living in defeat. What are we missing?

As humans we are tempted, often, to use any number of reasons to believe that God is not good. What could be farther from the truth? Rejoice with Jamie Lash at the perspective-changing joy of acknowledging what God says to be true about Himself, about me, and about my present situation.

The old adage "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not to thine own understanding" carries tremendous weight for a New Testament Christian. As believers, do we believe what God says is true about who we are? Have we or have we not been made the very righteousness of God in Christ?

If it was a proud thing before to think of myself highly when God said I in fact was a sinner, how much more is it false humility now, after salvation, to think of myself still as a sinner when God says He has made me in fact a new creature!
