Tried and Proven

“The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.” Psalms 34:22

What does it mean to trust God? It means to place your entire well-being into His hands. It also means you trust in His love for you, and the promises He’s made to you. One way He teaches us how to trust in Him is by using older saints to share their stories of how they made it through various challenges.

I once met an older woman who said all throughout her Bible she had written “tried and proven.” These words were written next to the scriptures she had stood on in faith and God had proven Himself to be faithful in her life. I believe if we had more women like her sharing their faith, their experiences and teaching younger women to trust in God, we wouldn’t see so many lost and confused women in the church today.

Because there is no passing down of wisdom and no impartations of faith from older saints, women give up on life at the slightest attack from the devil. The smallest amount of persecution or pressure causes many of us to want to quit. I believe it’s because we don’t know how to go through anything. We don’t know how to handle challenges with class. We don’t know how to trust God until He brings us out. We don’t know how to stand on His promises and watch Him come through for us. We don’t know how to walk by faith and not by sight. No one taught us how to hang in there until we see the morning sun, so we die in the middle of the night. We throw in the towel and lose our minds and no longer desire to fight. We desperately need someone to come to our side, rest their hand on our shoulders and say, “Baby, everything is going to be alright. Trust in the Lord. He is faithful, and He will see you through anything.”

My sister, you don’t have to lose your mind. You don’t have to have a nervous breakdown. You don’t have to lose yourself. You can decide right now that you will trust God until He makes a way out of no way for you.

Prayer: Father God, thank you for speaking to my heart! I choose right now to place my trust in you. Help me stand on your promises until you make a way out of no way for me. Help me Lord to trust in your love for me no matter how things appear. As I place my trust in you, I ask that you strengthen me and be glorified in my life! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  1. Thank you Lord for this message it’s on time I ask you father that you help put my trust in you more.

    1. Of a truth our young women are giving up, because we the older women fail to encourage them to remain focus on the Lord. And as God has told us to do in his word, father please forgive and thanks for giving us new beginnings.

  2. I want to thank you. You help build my spirit and confidence in the Lord, I love him so much. But sometimes you help bring confirmation to things that I speak to only him about. I read your post daily. Thank you so much.

  3. Thanks so much, I needed to hear that. I appreciate what you are doing, may God continue to be with you. While you continue giving us these strong words to live by, God bless you!

  6. Its funny how I always ask God for a good friend because I have so much going on in my head and I feel like most times am losing my mind but I have no one to speak to… Everything in this devotion was correct and I am currently experiencing it. So i will leave it all to God and allow him to handle my life once and for all.

    God bless you double and may you receive an over flow of blessings my sister…
    You are truly a blessing to me… Right now you are touching the life of Caribbean sister…

  7. So, let’s start now! What if we ask God for a younger woman to pour into? When I had need of a mother figure in my life, he answered. He blessed me with a sweet Godly woman who loves me as a daughter. He has recently opened a relationship with a younger woman for me to pour into, an amazing sweet girl. He is just waiting for us to ask!

  8.
