I know some of you do better with this than others. I know there are times when we win and times we face failure. There are situations where this is so simple; then there are days we can not see any way through. By now you may have figured out I am talking about trusting in the Lord. Scripture enlightens us and even challenges us to trust in the Lord with everything we are and have. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Jesus gives us every reason to trust in him. He said he would never stray away from us. (Matthew 28:20) So, why is it so difficult to totally trust in the Lord? Could it be we would like to test the waters of self-sufficiency? Maybe you are like me and sometimes become impatient? Perhaps we have tried and things didn’t work out like we thought they should? I only know that the true avenue to peace comes by trusting the Truth, Jesus. I heard this song of truth today and wanted to share part of it with you.
’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, And to take Him at His Word; just to rest upon His promise, And to know, “Thus says the Lord!”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end.
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!
Have a blessed day as you place your trust in the One who is always there, and more than you will ever need.
Mike
