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.

  5. I look back over my life, when I didn’t know God I was the world. As my life got complicated I had to turn to God and let him come into my life and my heart, Good help me to change my life my head should have cold, but God said not yet I’ve learn to trust him right today and I truly thank God for his Grace and his Mercy.

  8. Yes and Amen to God’s word. Indeed the Lord redeems our souls from the strains and stresses of life. When you are faced with challenges and yet you have peace of heart, it means God has redeemed your soul. I believe that is the reason why we are able to persevere in life. If He doesn’t come through for us, how can we survive? We may be consumed by our circumstances, but truth is, God always comes through for us. Once I have life I have hope. I t is also very true that the body of Christ has become more individualistic. We keep more to ourselves rather than being what God called us to be. Lord please help us! Society has changed. But Lord you don’t change. You are still the same. Help us Lord to cling to the old rugged cross. To hold on to the principles of the past. To pour ourselves into the lives of each other. Help us Lord!!

    2. KK, I totally with wat ur sayin&I waz raised in a church&felt close to God&had communication with him my whole life! But when you’re going on 10 years of a Non-Stop storm or I would say hurricane and my case and the circumstances of my life, you start wondering and second-guessing why has he not come through yet or giving me peace or giving me any insight on what I should do, you start wondering where he is and if I’m doing something wrong and I’m just not in his Grace’s anymore. My marriage is crumbling, I’m completely depressed, I don’t have one person to talk to and not one friend, I haven’t been with my kids in 3 years and I don’t have any insurance and I have a lot of medical problems that I need to deal with right now that are a danger to my life!!! I don’t have a way to go to church but I watch it every Sunday on my phone and I gotta stay away from the secular music and I read my devotionals and I do more devotionals and read the Bible everyday, I just don’t know what the problem is and it’s just making me more and more and more confused🤔Anyway, God Bless you all…

  9. Amen..Amen..Amen!!!!!!!!!!
