Trusting God: The Question Every Christian Must Answer

It doesn’t matter if you are an oldie in the faith or a newbie. This question will always remain the same. This is about the most profound question a Christian will face, and how you answer says everything.

There is no… Yes, I do, but! or any other verb or adjective that could possibly follow that yes.

In my journey, I have asked myself a lot of questions, battled with myself internally many times, learned and then relearned many concepts, had little faith, had a lot of faith, and I’ve even been angry with God.

One day, I was faced with one of my biggest storms, and I had no choice but to face this question head-on.  I couldn’t skirt around it; I couldn’t “back burner” it any longer. Once faced with it, it wasn’t going anywhere. The Holy Spirit made sure of that. I was being convicted to make a choice.

I thought, I prayed, I fought with myself, and I prayed some more. Then one day I chose. My answer was yes.

Such a simple answer said in an emotional whisper, but also the most complex answer I have ever had to give. My life and journey have never been the same since. The growth, guidance, love, and peace since then have been profound.

You either trust God, or you don’t. There is never an in-between.
