You may not realize it, but what you think about God determines how you handle life.
For example:
- If you think God is waiting and watching to punish you, you’ll attempt to clean up the messes in your life alone.
- If you God is for you and has your back, you will run to Him when life is hard.
- When you trust that not only is God good, but He is good to you personally, He becomes a safe place where you find refuge and strength for living.
Consider or remember these verses:
Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the person who takes refuge in him!
Psalm 34:8 CSB
The person who trusts in the Lord , whose confidence indeed is the Lord , is blessed. He will be like a tree planted by water: it sends its roots out toward a stream, it doesn’t fear when heat comes, and its foliage remains green. It will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 CSB
