Real Devo: Trusting God by Rachel Mok

Trusting God – A personal story
by Rachel Mok, RTF Staff Writer
Every time when a friend of mine is going through a tough time, the first thing that comes out of my mouth as a form of encouragement is “trust God, because He’s the God of the impossible.” However, when I turn the table around, and I am in the one going through a tough situation, all I can say is…easier said than done!

Here the story begins, last year we started a mini youth ministry in our high school, gathering Christians in the school to come together to fellowship every Friday afternoon. Our vision is to reach our school for Christ.

And because most of our members graduated last year, our numbers were really little this year. So the ex-students continued to go back and serve to build up the group. As a team, we learnt to trust in God, to persevere on to continue this ministry, despite the small numbers. Even if its means leading worship every week, we did it! However we decided to trust God for 30 committed members and 4 salvations this semester. We constantly prayed, to see God’s our work in this ministry. Fives weeks into this semester has passed, we have seen 20 regulars to the group and 1 salvation so far! We are really amazed how God multiplied us by double.

It is true power to see God move in the lives of the youths as they grow and desire to serve God. We have also learnt that prayer without faith is useless; we have to pray with trust and expectancy! So I would like to end of this verse with:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. – James 1:2-3

You may be going through a challenging period of your life, but don’t lose faith, instead put your trust in God because he is really the God of the impossible and he can makes things happen if its according to His Word. I personally I have experienced the power of God, and you can to!
