When you look up at the night sky what do you see? Do you see God’s handiwork in the millions of stars?  Have you seen how beautiful our world is? How everything works together so perfectly? How the seasons change? How the bird fly’s across the sky without a care in the world?

God created such a beautiful world. Every day you trust that God will make the sun rise, so why do we doubt him and his power in our lives? We need to put our trust in God. We need to rely on him, and only him, because his power in your life will change everything.

How do you plan on Moving Mountains on your own? In order to fulfill Gods plan in your life, you’re going to need God. God knows what he is doing. He has the whole world in his hands. He knows what happened in the past and what will happen; and since he knows everything, he can see the big picture while all we see is a tiny piece. When we see God’s whole plan, all our troubles will be worth it – when you Trust and Rely on God.

Relying on God is when you trust completely in him so that you do not worry about any problems. You give your worries to God. When your path looks easy and straightforward. you are tempted to go alone without God instead of relying on him every waking moment; but when we trust God in every moment of our lives, through the big and small, he is guiding our lives so we will become more of the person God created us to be.

You need to look beyond your troubles and find God in the mix of your circumstances. God shows up in trouble and reveals himself to you in ways he could not have in any other time in your life. God has a plan for your life never doubt that; and don’t limit what he can do in your life.

Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, “LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You.” (2 Chronicles 14:11)

Asa in the Bible did not try to defeat an army more powerful than his own; instead, his first instinct was to turn to God and to rely on him. Why try to do something on your own? When you rely on God, amazing things will happen. God will give you an overwhelming peace that is incomprehensible. When you just let go, God takes control and he’s not going to let you down.

Stop blaming your parents, teachers, or lack of opportunities for who you are becoming. God has a great plan for your future so stop making excuses. Take responsibility for who you are today and trust that God will provide you with all you need to become the person he has called you to be.

The story of who you are and who you are becoming will be a story of God’s power and victory in your life.
