Is God Trustworthy?

In this episode of Focus Flip, we will be reflecting on where/when we started to believe that God would disappoint us.

Healing begins the moment one feels seen and heard, but people don’t let others truly see or hear them until they feel like they can trust them.

Vulnerability can feel like you are letting people see your weakness. It can feel like you are allowing yourself to be easily hurt, however, I believe vulnerability is a sign of three things - great strength, trust, and safety.

The question is not, "Do you believe in God?" The question is, "Do you trust Him?" Do you trust him when everything feels like it's falling apart? Do you trust Him when you don't see the finances, your friend abandoned you, or loss appears to be surrounding you?

I will share with you the scriptures God gave me and the journey I have been on over this past year to find how I identifed and began working to build trust again.

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:13-14

Making things tangible...

• Make a list of where you doubt God or grab some notecards like me.

• As you review this list ask yourself the following questions

  • Can you specifically identify what you think God won’t do?

  • Can you think back to when you started questioning if God would show up for you? Can you identify why?

  • Has it proven consistent that He's not shown up for you since that time?

  • As you are making yourself aware, have you noticed that God has shown up more than you realized? Maybe not always in the ways you imagined, but in ways you needed?
