Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Turmoil. Chaos. Trials. Tribulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These are all things that can cause us to start doubting God. These are all things that can cause us to want to take matters into our own hands and \u201cfix\u201d everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The problem with this is that most of the \u201cfixing\u201d we do only breaks things; the exact opposite thing we were hoping to accomplish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, how do we remedy this problem?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We do only what God tells us to do. We listen for His voice, then we do what He says. Nothing more. Nothing less.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s easy to trust God when the sailing is smooth. It\u2019s easy to have faith in Him when we\u2019re gliding through life with no major problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s a true<\/em> test of our faith, though, when tough times hit and we feel like the world around us is crumbling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How will we respond? Will we immediately jump into action mode, or will we pull back, get God on it and then act accordingly?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As with so many things, it is better to be proactive<\/em>, not reactive<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does that apply with regard to our walk with God and dealing with unexpected situations?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here\u2019s how. We spend the time and make the effort necessary to \u201cshore up\u201d our relationship with our Father on a regular basis so that our trust in Him is always \u201ctopped off\u201d, not running on empty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This way, when trials do<\/em> hit, we\u2019re not scrambling to hear God through the noise and the chaos that usually accompanies these kinds of situations. This makes it much easier to hear Him when we need to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, don\u2019t make the mistake of thinking that this means we should simply sit back when uncertain situations arise, waiting for God to fix everything. Not at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It does<\/em> mean, though, that we take only the steps He shows us to take, not what our wild emotions tell us to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is the difference between being proactive and reactive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s not always easy to do this. But with time and effort on our part, we will<\/em> get it after a while.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
