Trust God: 10 Bible Passages to Remind Us That God’s Got This!
God is sovereign. That means He’s in control.
When we wake up in the morning, it may look like we’re alone in this world.
But, no matter how bad it looks, as Christians we have to remember that we have MIGHTY POWER backing us.
He is the Beginning and the End. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is God!
Because I know those things about Him, I can read the Word with confidence that He’s still in control.
If you don’t believe me I wanted to include some passages that back me up.
These passages tell us that God is still on the throne.
Scriptures:
Passage #1
Psalm 46:10 NIV He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Being still is something that I’m not always successful at doing.

I’ve been hearing people say lately that they don’t learn when things are easy. They usually have to learn the hard way.
I think I’m one of those people.
When it feels like I’m in the same lesson over and over, I need to think about,
am I being still?
am I trusting God to handle my situation?
Right now, in the pandemic and social unrest, it looks like everything is over.
It looks like we’re never going to get out of this.
When you are down, remember God’s words: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
He will be exalted!
Passage #2
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; [6] in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

He is protecting me from more than I could ever know. Just because I can’t see it happening, doesn’t mean it’s not.

I seek God through faith, continue living for Him, and remember He knows the way.
Passage #3
Isaiah 26:3 NIV You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
When we put our minds on God, we can’t help but to have peace.
As believers we have to focus on God.
We should be reading His word.
Praying…If we could come together on one accord we could change some things. We could change the world.
Prayer STILL changes things.
We should try the best we can to keep God on our minds. When we focus on Him and not the world and its cares, we can find the supernatural peace of God.
Providing His peace for us shows that He is in control. When I think about it, I have never been more at peace than when I go to him.
Passage #4
Isaiah 41:10 NIV So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Trust Him. He won’t lose His power and He has already won the battle.
We may not know the outcome, but He is the answer to all over our problems.
Passage #5
Joshua 1:9 NIV Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

He says to “Be strong and courageous.”
He gives us strength. When we turn our eyes from the world and look to Him we can find strength and courage.
God says He will be with us wherever we go. Wherever means all the places your feet take you. God is there with us.
He isn’t caught off guard by anything.
So be strong and courageous.
Passage #6
Proverbs 29:25 NIV Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

If we don’t get it right we feel like we are being left out.
I’m definitely one of those people.
Sometimes, I feel that if I go against what the world says is okay, then I’m wrong.
It’s actually wrong for me to go against what God says.
I can’t fear man and serve God.
It’s all about Him. He’s all that matters.
