Trust

I haven't written anything in awhile but I felt I needed to share what I have been learning just in the first three months of this year. I honestly haven't had the time to just sit down and share my heart but God has been doing a lot.

The first Sunday of this year I listened to a sermon by Pastor George Pearsons of Eagle Mountain International Church. He talked about how 2017 is the year of great prosperity in your household. The first thing that comes to mind is financial prosperity. For months that is what I was thinking about was financial prosperity. This week I went back and revisited the notes from that sermon and realized that he was not only speaking of financial prosperity but about spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional prosperity. Not only that kind of prosperity but prosperity in everything we set our hands to just like Deuteronomy 28:12 says.

So since that first Sunday of the year I have been confessing out loud every morning that 2017 is the year of great prosperity in my household. Just in these first three months I have been given two raises. He has been teaching me that by trusting Him with my finances He will pour out a blessing . Tithing has become a way of life instead of something that always felt hard to do. It is just so easy to do now. He said to test Him and see if He will not pour out a Blessing , that there will not be room enough to receive. (Malachi 3:10) God has proven Himself faithful to me when I am faithful to give my tithe to Him. He has poured out an enormous Blessing on me.

This past week I was offered an amazing position that also terrifies me. I had to work and pray through some serious fear and anxiety. Oh, how faithful He has been though. What I came to was that just maybe God is going to teach me how to trust and depend fully on Him. Not just in finances but in my job as well. I would say that I have become comfortable with where I am and can do my job pretty well, but with this new position I will need to lean on Him fully. It is way out of my comfort zone. But hey don't we learn the most when we are put through the fire? I know in my heart that this year is going to be an amazing year of growth in my life. He has shown me so much about trust this week and I am so very thankful for that. I'm jumping in with both feet and trusting Him with everything. I know, that I know, that I know that He is faithful to the end.

Oh, and you know how I said He has Blessed me financially? Well this new position will come with a raise as well. God is so good. This has not been easy and I still have fear thoughts that I have to rebuke and replace with the Word. I am an over comer and the future looks bright. If you would have asked me five years ago if this is where I would be and what I would be doing I would have laughed at you. God knows what He is doing and His way is always the best.

So I will leave you with this. Put your trust in Him in every area of your life and see what He will do. Let the Spirit lead you and just see where God will take you! He is faithful!
