In this article, we will
be discussing about trust in the Lord. When you trust in the Lord, you will be
confident in doing so many things without fear or favor.
It is good to trust in
God and not man. When we trust in man, we can fail, but when we trust in the
Lord, there is no fear and doubt about that.
Romans 8:15 says, “For
you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you
received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father!’” Holmans CS Holy Bible. As believer in
Christ, we are not to fear. When approached by fear, always trust in the Lord
He will see through.
Anything we want to do,
we should always trust in the Lord and He can do everything for us. The Lord is
our helper whom should we fear? No one.
If you want to marry,
trust in the Lord. If you are seeking for admission, also trust in the Lord, He
is the one that will give you admission without any condition attached to it.
Likewise, if you want to marry, in fact, everything you need, always trust in
the Lord He will do it for you as far as you trust in Him and give Him
everything and make Him in charge of your life.
