"Trust in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:34
Maybe today, you are expecting big blessings. You are hoping and praying for these blessings, but why haven't they arrived yet. You're ready, you are all prepared to accept the big, wonderful miracles, so where are they?
Well, believing, and expecting are all part of a good start to the process of receiving those big blessings. But you are forgetting one thing, you are forgetting to trust. Now, I know what you are thinking right about now, you are saying to yourself, "Oh yes, of course I trust Him. I don't need to be told that I don't." So yes, you have your trust in God, but trusting in Him is so much more than just knowing that He will take of you and your situations.
A fantastic picture that I saw really illustrates this idea perfectly. The picture is God standing in front of a little girl. The little girl is holding a small teddy bear in her hands, looking at God. Meanwhile, behind God's back is a very large teddy bear, much bigger than the one the little girl has now. With the bear behind His back so the little girl cannot see it, He is holding out His hand to the little girl saying, "Trust me."
Think about that for a moment. That little girl has no idea what God has behind His back, but if she trusts Him, she will give up what she knows and give up what is comfortable, and when she does, she will receive that huge teddy bear that God has for her.
How many times do we expect great things to happen, but yet, we are too afraid to give up what is safe and comfortable? When we trust God, we have to know that, even though we don't know what He has for us exactly, that we need to step out of our comfort zone. We need to give up what is comfortable for us and hand it to God. When we do this, God will see that we are trusting Him with these things, and He will give us something bigger and better than we ever could have imagined.
