What is Your Level of Trust?
Do you trust God all the time? Some of the time? Practically never?
On a scale of 1 to 10, where is your level of trust?
This is a fundamental question relating to your Christian walk.
The fact is that God is totally sovereign. He is sovereign over everything and everybody ALL the time.
Do you believe that?
The US—and the world—is in chaos. Do you believe—really, now—do you believe that God is in control of this mess?
If you don’t, the implications are enormous:
If God isn’t sovereign, who is?
If God isn’t sovereign, are you really going to heaven?
If God isn’t sovereign, what is going to happen to the world?
Please take a look at When Storms Come: Are You Ready? Chapters 2 – 5 go through God’s sovereignty over nature, people, and evil. Chapter 14 talks about responding to God with trust.
Personally, I am rocked by the problems in the US, let alone the rest of the world. But then I am forced to my knees. God, our loving, sovereign God, is totally righteous, judging sin, providing mercy, and bringing people to saving faith. He is working all things according to the counsel of His glorious will.
Trusting God is not blind trust, because blind trust is, well, blind! Proof of God’s trustworthiness is rooted in His character, His actions, and His promises. As hard as things appear, we can trust that God is in control.

Lord God, please help us totally trust You in these troubled times. Help us look to You for wisdom. Help us not lean on our own understanding. Help us honor Your holy name through our lives.
