Thoughts of Trust

Those with sound thoughts you will keep in peace, because they trust in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD is a rock for all ages.

—Isaiah 26:3-4

If there's anything missing in the world today, it's a sense of trust. Most of us feel an undefined concern about all aspects of life because it's hard to know what to trust, what to rely on. Your insurance carriers may want you to think of them as the "rock," the ones you can lean on when times are difficult. Yet, when you call, they may not be there as fully subscribed as they made things sound.

In order to live with a heart of peace and to have thoughts that are grounded and sound, you actually need to have a rock. You need to know there is a place for you to go that is unchanging, always available, and completely trustworthy. That describes only one being in this world and the next . . . Jesus. You have a foundation of trust in him that you can have in no other.

You're anchored to the Source of all life, and he will keep you safe. Yes, hardships will come, days will bring tumult and chaos, but nothing can shake the foundation of someone who trusts the rock of Heaven. Trust him. He'll give you the peace that passes all understanding right now.

In the Flow

Lord, it is so crazy in my life sometimes that I don't know where to turn. Of course, that's when I need you the most and when I need to trust you the most. Please help me stand firmly on the foundation of your love and trust you for all I need. Amen.
