We Need to Trust in His Wisdom

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! (psalm 27:14 ESV)

Faith in God that when we have asked, He has heard our petition and will answer in the way He knows is best, could in some ways be compared to a trust fund. Trust funds can take on many forms, but they are most often used to ensure that money or other assets are distributed in a way that will provide maximum benefit to the receiver over the long term.

Likewise, God provides the answers to our prayers according to His perfect will and what will bring about the greatest good in the situation and in our lives. That’s why it’s so important to have faith in His love for us. We need to trust in His wisdom.

Whether the answers to your prayers are manifested immediately or whether they take time to be manifested or whether God has a different plan altogether in mind, we can trust that the answers have been settled in heaven. When we thank Him for His faithfulness, we’re declaring our trust that the God of the universe who loves us and has already sacrificed so much to save and restore us and to be with us through everything is going to continue to be who He is to us: a friend, a father, a protector, a savior, a healer, the source of all truth and power, a provider of all that we need, a guide, and the answer to every problem and question we will ever encounter. —Maria Fontaine [1]

To have confidence in life is to believe that today will be a blessed day, that everything I do will be under God's blessing and will bring blessing to me and others. —Anselm Grun
