Jesus didn't promise that we were going to understand all that He was going to ask of us, instead...He promised that He would give us a Peace that would pass all understanding.  This Peace many times comes in the form of a renewed Spirit that we take on.  This Spirit helps us to feel that we don't have to understand in order to trust. Instead, we start learning that we are going to trust even though we have an utter lack for the understanding to the plans of the Lord.

Human reasoning wants to understand before we go forward.  Yet with Jesus, He stretches us and MANY times...He asks for faith when it seems there is no reason to apply it.  He asks for trust, when you feel as if you have little to offer.  Jesus stretches us.  But, I want you to take heart in that statement, because what Jesus asks of us, He always has GIVEN us a supply of well in advance. 

He will not ask for something you are not capable of giving.  I know it seems this an impossible statement at points in your life.  I understand, I’ve been there too.  But, Jesus knows us better than we know ourselves and it is from that well of information that He makes His requests. He knows He’s not going to let you fail, but we don’t.  We try to place trust in all that we believe He will do for us, all the while we question…”will this be that time that I fall flat on my face? Will this be the situation that I fall beyond the Lord’s reach on?” 

Jesus is Faithful. He will not ask for your trust if He hasn’t already shown Himself to be trustworthy.  He won’t ask for your faith if He hasn’t already shown His faith……and He has.  Remember, He’s the One that walked to the cross in the ultimate show of Love for you.  Take Heart, Jesus is here to lift your head, sometimes we just have to learn what it means to look up.  Pastor Daniella https://Twitter.com/PastorDaniella
