Foundational Trust
Posted on Jan 11, 2008 under Faith |Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.Jeremiah 17:7
One of my biggest challenges is trust. I have a tendency, as do many of us, to want to control situations and outcomes. I want to step in and do something to make things work out right. At the same time, or at alternating times, I find myself longing for someone to take care of me as if I were I child. I just get tired of being a grown up. I want someone I can trust.
I know I need to let go of control and turn everything over to God. God is the only one deserving of my trust. I’ve learned through the years that you can’t trust a job or career, that drugs and alcohol are not reliable, that other people are only human and will likely let you down. Only God is there for me always and only God will never let me down. I must trust God for the big things and the little things in my life.
Today, I will trust my Lord.
