Recently, we were reading in Genesis with our children and I found an excellent example of not trusting God with your worries. We were reading about Lot and his daughters. If you will remember after God rescued them from Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot’s daughters were worried they would not have children or a husband. So, they got their father drunk and they “laid” with him in order to have children. My children’s first reaction was “gross”. Hey, I agree. Then, I pointed out something even deeper about this passage. Lot’s daughters had just witnessed God rescuing them from total
destruction. God chose their family and no other to live. How powerful and amazing. How special they were in God’s eyes. Yet, after witnessing the marvelous and destructive power of God, who saved them from utter destruction, they could not trust God to find them husbands. Oh, how that must have grieved God. The God who saved their lives certainly can be trusted to find them husbands. But, no they didn’t trust God and decided to come up with their own plan. I’m afraid we are guilty of the same “type” of sin. Not trusting God to come through for us and we scheme to figure out a way to make it work.
Dear Reader, whatever your worry is today you have a God who chose you and loved you enough to send His only Son to die for you. Do you not think your God cannot handle and work out whatever is worrying you? You have an awesome Father who is just waiting to take all your worries and continue to show His faithfulness. Give your worries to Him and leave them there.
