Do you want to live in despair or do you want to live in hope?

Pursuing answers to why God allows hard things has never given me the peace I want. Even if God did tell me why, I probably wouldn’t see enough of His big picture to agree with Him. I don’t think answers to our “why” questions would make our circumstances better or give us peace.

Instead, I’m choosing to pursue daily reliance on God in the midst of circumstances that make me resistant to trust. Scripture reminds us, “Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge” (Psalm 62:8).

But how do we begin doing that?

C.S. Lewis says, “Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.” When we rely on God daily, we can experience the fruit of trust. And one of the best places to start is by deciding to declare our God is trustworthy, not determining His trustworthiness based on our circumstances.

Here are three attributes of God we can bank on in declaring He is trustworthy:

1. Changelessness. (See Hebrews 13:8, Deuteronomy 7:9, and Malachi 3:6.)

2. Wisdom. (See Isaiah 55:8-9, Psalm 19:7, and Proverbs 3:5-6.)

3. Peace. (See Colossians 1:20, Isaiah 26:3, and John 14:27.)

To trust God is to trust His character, timing, ways, and love for us. It’s the hardest lesson to learn but the most crucial. We don’t have to know the “how” to trust that He is working things out.
Let’s fix our eyes on Him … choosing to believe God is working out good even in our hard situations … and remind our fragile, human hearts that we can trust Him at all times.
