Trust

Jeremiah 29:11-13-"For I know plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

Like many of you, I have had multiple opportunities to play the trust game. This is where a partner stands behind you while you fall into their arms. This game requires trust that your partner will catch you when you fall. This is similar to what God is asking of us. The scriptures tell us that He is always with us. It is up to us to trust that He is there and live accordingly. He will not leave us. We can have confidence knowing that He is always there and has plans for each of our lives. 

I know it sounds like a nice Sunday school lesson. A little too easy, right? But when you do this and experience His power working in your life, you will never forget it. I have witnessed many people whose lives have changed dramatically in unexpected ways by turning to Him.  As nice as that sounds, there are also many who feel the Lord has given them clarity but who are reluctant to walk the path out of fear. They feel there are too many obstacles, and they have too many personal limitations to reach the goal. However, the Lord would not give us clarity and fear at the same time.  So, it's easy to say if we have fear and doubt in the direction he is leading us, we are not fully walking in trust of him guiding our lives.  Examine your own life and ask where it is that you are not fully trusting the Lord, or where is it that you need to challenge yourself to be willing to let go of your own agenda.

Be Blessed,
