14…TRUSTING HIM

Good morning! Do you ever have “aha” moments? You know when someone says something and it makes you shake your head in agreement and say something like, “That’s so true and I never thought of it that way.” I had one of those moments a couple days ago as I was speaking to a couple of very wise friends. I’ll get back to that in a moment. Aren’t there things in each of our lives that we would like to have more control over? In my life, I would like to have more control over the heart episodes that I have. I’ve been struggling as to what I need to do when one hits since I now live alone. And after talking with my friends what I realized was that there is not going to ever be a full proof plan that will cover everything that could happen when I have these episodes. And then the “aha” moment came and the struggle was over. I’ll do what I can and trust God will do the rest.

I’m sure we all know people who are missionaries in other countries. While they are serving the Lord there, we trust that He will take care of all of their needs, including their safety. We are helpless to do anything tangible for them if they would get in trouble since they are halfway across the world. If I can trust the Lord to take care of these missionaries where they are then why can’t I trust Him to take care of my needs where I am? That’s a crazy question because I do trust Him to care for me. Sure I’d like to have more control over my heart but I’m not going to sweat it anymore because I know that the Lord has me covered in all areas of my life. Psalm 33:4 says it like this, “For the Word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does.” The Lord will not turn against me, let me down or abandon me...ever. It all boils down to just one simple question. Do we trust God to be faithful in all He does? If we can trust Him for one area of our life, surely we can trust Him for all areas of our life.

Lord, please help us hand over control of everything into Your faithful and caring hands. Amen.
