You Can Never Trust God Too Much

    Many people believe in God, but not many believe God. One of the most incredible places we can live our lives is in a continual position of believing God. "God made us, and God is able to empower us to do whatever He calls us to do. Denying we can accomplish God's work is not humility; it is the worst kind of pride" (Warren Wiersbe).

    The man who puts God first will find God with him right up to the last. "In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success" (Prov. 3:6, LB). Unless it includes trusting God, it’s not worthy of being called His direction. Every divine direction we receive from God includes Him.

    "God never made a promise that was too good to be true" (D. L. Moody). One of the great things about believing God is found in Luke 18:27: "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." When you join together with Him in His plan, things that were impossible now become possible. The superior man seeks success in God. The small man seeks success in himself. You’ve never tapped God's resources until you have attempted the impossible.

    You may trust the Lord too little, but you can never trust Him too much. With His strength behind you, His love with you, and His arms underneath you, you are more than sufficient for the days ahead of you. "I trust that God is on our side. But it is more important to know that we are on God's side" (Abraham Lincoln).

    The fact is anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist. Look around; nothing is more real than miracles. When you leave God out, you'll find yourself without any invisible means of support. Nothing great has been achieved except by those who dared believe God inside them was superior to any circumstance.

    To say "impossible" always puts you on the losing side. If you dream big, believe big and pray big, do you know what happens? Big things! Most of the things worth doing in history have been declared impossible before they were done. What’s possible is our highest responsibility.

If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, despite his ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten or twelve feet. Without space to run, as is his habit, he will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
Don’t be like the buzzard and the bee. Struggling with problems and frustrations, not realizing your answer is right there above you.
    The way each day will look to you all starts with whom you're looking to. Look to God. Believe God. When you believe God you will see an opportunity in every problem, not problems in the middle of every opportunity. Proverbs 16:3 is true when it says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Joshua 1:9 also says, "Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (LB).

    All great things have God involved in them. Dare to go with God farther than you can see right now. If something is beneficial for you, God will put it within your reach. One psalm in the Bible says, "No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly" (Psalms 84:11). Never undertake anything for which you wouldn't have the conviction to ask the blessing of heaven. A small man stands on others. A great man stands with God.
