Watching football I have learned that you can tell when a quarterback is hesitating, about to make a pass. Maybe the play before he passed the ball to someone and it was incomplete. But the coach tells him to pass to the same player. While in his hesitation, he is tackled and pushed back 3 yards. When he gets back to his feet he’s upset because he didn’t pass the ball to an open player. If only he passed the ball to the open player, they could have scored. On the next play the quaterback passes the ball to the player and he scores the winning touchdown.
We have all faced hesitation in life. We think, “Maybe if I did this it could have turned out better.” This is where trust comes in to play. Face it, we can not do everything alone. However, we can call on God and trust Him to give us strength.
God puts people in our lives here on Earth to help mold us into the person He wants us to become. There are going to be times where we need help in something and God places friends and family members in our lives so that we can get through the tough situations together. He is in control and he knows EXACTLY what He is doing.
But if we know these things, why do we STILL not listen to His Word and what He tells us? In this game of life, He is like our Coach. A coach always wants the best for his players. They can tell when a player is tired so they give them a break. God is rest. A coach makes sure the player has the proper equipment when playing so they don’t get hurt. God gave us his Word, He is with us in spirit, and He also gives us people in our lives to help us push forward. He has given us the necessary equipment. We have to trust Him that He is going to help us be the best we can ever be.
It’s this five letter word that helps us understand so much. TRUST. We have to trust in God with everything. He is not going to hurt us, but instead He will help us reach the full potential that He has designed us for. So next time you feel that you have nothing left, trust in God and He will show you that you have more than enough.
