A Question We All Should Answer Periodically.

In this weeks preparation for Cell Group, there was a great question in the work book that I am inclined to say should be a question that we ask ourselves often and regularly. The question is:

What is it in your life right now that most indicates your degree of trust in the Lord?

When I first read the question, my first thought was that is a hard question to answer. Then as I pondered upon it, I thought it shouldn't be. If I truly am pursuing Christ's reign in all of life to advance God's kingdom in all the earth for His glory, I should have an answer right away.

Thankfully, I didn't have to think about this too long to come up with my answer. The Evidences of my trust in the Lord are daily whether I am seeking God through my prayer and Bible reading. Am I fully surendering to God, trying to understand his will for my life and more specifically this day. Am I releying on Him or using my own energy, talents and skills to get me though the day. Another measure is whether I am holding anything back from God. There are times (too ofter I might add) when I allow God in limited areas of my life.

Another indicator of my trust in the Lord is how thankful I am for His daily provision. Am I prayerfully expressing my thankfullness. In some respects God can become something that I don't even think about. Yet God has given me everything I have. I am a steward of what he has intrusted me with. So my trust must be acknowledged to God daily. My trust must be active and constant.

How would you answer the question?
