Trusting God with Everything

Ananias and Sapphira’s story is not just about lying—it’s also about trust. They might have feared that if they gave everything, they would be left with nothing. In contrast, Barnabas gave freely, trusting God to provide. Many believers today face a similar tension: we say we trust God, but when it comes to truly surrendering—whether finances, relationships, time, or control—we hesitate.
 
God doesn’t demand blind leaps, but He does invite faithful surrender. When He calls us to give or go or change, it’s never without reason. He wants our hearts to be fully His. Partial trust leads to divided devotion, and divided devotion makes us spiritually stagnant.

Faith often means choosing obedience even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed. Ananias and Sapphira failed not because they lacked resources, but because they lacked trust in the God who provides.
 
Scripture:
Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
 
Application:
Identify one area of your life where you're holding back trust. Pray and take one practical step toward surrendering that area to God.
 
Prayer:
Father, I want to trust You completely. Show me where I’m holding back and help me to surrender it fully. I believe You are faithful, even when I can’t see what’s ahead.
