Trust

"We may not be able to trace God's hand, but we can always trust His heart."
~C.J. Mahaney

So Lord, Dear Lord . . .

"You be the needle
and I be the thread
You go first, and I will follow
wherever You may lead."

~Congolese Christian

Trust. It's a huge issue. I must constantly counsel myself, remind myself, rather than listening to myself. He is worthy of my trust. He is trustworthy.

In contrast, "Doubt" occurs when we exalt and elevate our own perceptions, feelings, and emotions over God and His Word and His promises. Doubt places that which is hollow--emotions, lies, myself, my thoughts, my fears--upon the throne rather than bowing to Christ as Lord of my life. This is sin.

Behold, God is my salvation
I will TRUST and will not be afraid
for the Lord God is my strength and my song
and He has become my salvation.
~ Lamentations

This God--HIS WAY is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in Him. ~ 2 Samuel 22:31

Trust, my Soul. Trust and Obey. He has been faithful thus far, and He will be faithful

Forever.
