The Christian Milspouse Podcast Episode 4
On this episode, we’re talking about the importance of trusting God with our futures.
One thing that’s certain about military life is that you realize how little control you have over what will happen in the future! But it’s another opportunity for God to show Himself strong to us.
On this week’s episode, we talk about the story of Ruth in the Bible, along with some of my favorite quotes and Scriptures about trusting God. Here’s one of my favorites:
“When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.”
Corrie ten Boom
Bible verses about trusting God:
“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” (Isaiah 41:10).
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD Himself, is the Rock eternal” (Isaiah 26:3-4).
“We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
Jesus said in John 14:1: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me.”
“For the word of the LORD is right and true; He is faithful in all He does” (Psalm 33:4).
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).
God knows all the whys, whens, hows. He is not surprised by anything. Do you know what else? He can also handle your questions, and yes, your anger, your anguish, your confusion. Take it to Him! These are moments of faith, when you choose to trust Him.
