TRUST IN GOD

“In God we Trust”, is the motto of the United States of America. The Americans are proud and happy to inscribe this motto on their currency. Jesus reminds us of the same in Jn 14:1. “TRUST IN GOD”, says plainly. We are exhausted and overwhelmed with our problems and difficulties. We seem to arrive at a point of no return. It is a human tendency to rely upon the strengths of our own person but fail to realize that we are not ‘Almighty’. God is all powerful, Creator. He created us in His image and likeness and wants us to be happy. Being the Creator, He has given us everything that we need which may not be what we want. Our lives depend on Him. Whether it is victory or defeat, it belongs to God. We are His children and we are expected to behave like His children. People become restless and impatient when things don’t go as per their wish. But God has His plan for each of us. It is easy for us to blame God when things go wrong but we need to realize that God always wishes the best in our lives. So let us TRUST IN GOD.
