New Chances to Trust in Jesus

Did you ever imagine that you would be going through the things that we went through last year? Madalas ganiyan ang buhay, you almost never go through what you expected. Sometimes it’s a time where blessings come to your life, sometimes we are also blessed with challenges. Whatever happens, the reality is that we don’t really know what’s going to happen in the near future.

But this also points us to one of the great things about putting your faith in Jesus. Because in Jesus, we are supposed to walk by faith and not by sight. Jesus wants us to look to Him, His power, and His character, not in the circumstances that surrounds us. Hindi natin kailangan malaman kung ano ang mangyayari, we just have to trust that God makes all things work for good. Na kahit ano ang mangyayari, God is not going to leave us hanging.

I want to encourage you to see this coming year as a new chance to put your trust in Jesus. Not just when encountering trials, but also when we are called to step out of our comfort zone. Put your trust in Him kapag tinatawag ka na to share the Gospel in an environment na hindi ka masyadong familiar. Trust in Him, when you are facing a project that you feel is too big for you, because it’s not too big for God. May this be the year that more of us will step out in faith, and putting our trust in God to do things that will only work if He is behind it.

This year let us commit to getting to know God more. Let’s read our Bibles and see the things that He did, the victories that He had won for His people. Let’s know that our God is a God who is victorious no matter what the enemy throws at Him. Let’s assure ourselves that the very same God described in the Bible is the same God that we worship today.

Kapatid, I pray that you take on new chances to put your trust in Jesus. Let’s not lean on our own understanding, but step out in faith in our powerful God.
