Trust - that's a BIG word. It means to have confidence or faith in. It's not something that is always easy done but when you do it, it is life changing and an incredibly peaceful place to be. Imagine trusting in God w/out any doubts, whatsoever!! Imagine reading His promises and believing in them! Remember the story of when Jesus was hanging with his disciples, they had breakfast together and then He said, "Let's get into the boat and go to the other side of the sea." While on the boat, Jesus fell asleep. During this time a storm came and Peter starts freaking out. So much so that he went and woke Jesus up. I love Jesus' response, "Didn't I tell you we were going to the other side?"
God know's exactly where you are, what you are doing, what your circumstances are - His promises are true...just as He told Peter they were going to go to the other side and that's what they did - even in the middle of the storm, Jesus KNEW that they were going to make it no matter what. So, TRUST in your Heavenly Father. He's amazing, He's beautiful, He believes in you!
Psalm 23 (The Message)
God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
you find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to your word,
you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.
Even when the way goes through
Death Valley,
I'm not afraid
when you walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd's crook
makes me feel secure.
You serve me a six-course dinner
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing.
Your beauty and love chase after me
every day of my life.
I'm back home in the house of God
for the rest of my life.
Trusting, Tracee, even if it's by a thread, I CHOOSE to trust :)
