Trust

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 1:32-33 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.

When we go through hard times, it is hard to trust sometimes that God is still watching over us and caring for us.  I have noticed however, that many times something better comes along that we are better equipped to handle after going through this period of hardship.  Also, I have learned that we need to look around because we will find that others have more difficult problems than we do.  Often they are in heart wrenching situations that appear to have no help for them.  They too, I am sure, can find a way to trust that there is help through the peace of having Christ in their lives. The help may not be what we expect, but it will be extremely sufficient and comforting.  Life takes turns that we don't expect or want, but we are on an adventure for Christ and must ride the thrill of his plans on out.  We may never understand why God does what He does until eternity, but we don't need to understand.  We just need to trust.

In His love,
