Finding Rest in Uncertainty Through The Truth of God

God's Truth

God's TruthUncertainty is something we have all experienced at least once. We look ahead and see a future of question marks.

Will I get the job I want? Where will our family live? What is my true calling?

If you can relate to this, I have good news. Although the waiting and the unknown can feel stressful and scary, there is a way to find rest when it all feels uncertain. 

It is so easy to become distracted and discouraged by the trials that life throws our way, but it is in those moments of doubt and confusion that the Lord calls us to cling to the truth that is found only in Him.

Truth of God

The truth that He will always fight for you (Exodus 14:14) and that there is nothing that can stop His love for you (Romans 8:37-39).

The truth that He will guard your heart (Philippians 4:6-7) and give you the gift of peace (John 14:27).

The truth that He will go wherever you go, even into your uncertainty (Joshua 1:9).

The secret to finding rest in the midst of the unknown is resting in and trusting the truth of God. Even though life seems uncertain and scary, God is fighting for you. He is with you, has gone behind you, and is going before you.

Friend, it’s time to rest in His truths.

5 Bible Verses for Trusting God

Trust in His word

Trust in His wordAre you having a hard time putting your trust in God?

Are you letting fear run your life?

Do feel like nothing is stable or certain?

Have you been experiencing doubt?

Are you unsure where to start? If so, that’s okay, we have all been there before!

A great way to begin trusting God is by reading His word. Too often we forget how beautiful and powerful the gift of scripture is! When life seems crazy and nothing is going as planned, lean into Him and lean into His word. We promise your heart, mind, and soul will be renewed and you walk away stronger in your faith and more confident in the plans God has for you.

Here are 5 Bible verses for trusting God:

Jeremiah 29:11 → “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
  •  Too often, we have this notion in our head that we have to make every right move and decision to live the life that God has created for us. But the sweet truth of this verse tells us that God isn’t asking us to figure things out on our own, He is asking us to trust that He already has!
Psalm 25:4-5 → Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
  • Take a moment and think about where and what you put your hope in. A lot of times, we put our hope in earthly things and as a result, we allow the world to lead us. In this verse, David is asking God for guidance. He is choosing to be led by the spirit and truth. Let’s make the choice, each day, to seek and follow the Lord’s ways rather than the ways of the world.
Jeremiah 17:7 → But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
  • This verse is the definition of beautiful! Over time, our trust in God becomes a trust that is God – it’s a natural by-product of being with Jesus. Friend, this is your invitation to take a step in trust today.
Psalm 37:4 → Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
  • Taking delight in the Lord means that our hearts truly find peace and fulfillment in Him. When we rejoice and delight in the eternal things of God, our desires begin to parallel His, and we will never go unfulfilled.
Isaiah 58:11 → The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
  • Where God guides you, He will provide for you. Raise your hand if you are guilty of thinking just the opposite! Too often we believe we aren’t good enough, talented enough, or strong enough to fulfill what God has put on our hearts. But this verse tells us just the opposite. Where God guides, He provides.
