TRUST

MareBearHitstheRoad Blogger - April 14, 2010 - Day 34 - How do you define trust? How is trust received or earned? Is trust something to be offered up without question? Is it possible to trust blindly?  I am going to keep this brief tonight. I TRUST God with every aspect of my life. But I do not trust myself to do as HE tells me to or leads me to, because all too often - especially in the past 2 weeks, I have failed miserably at that very thing. This is heavy on my heart and it has me reflective of Hebrews 11:1. Faith is all about trust. Blind Trust. And I think next to pride, it is the second biggest reason that people lack faith or a belief in God and Jesus. To walk in faith, to me means that I must trust God at ALL times, with ALL matters!

When I attempt to do things in my own way, I do not trust God to protect, teach, watch over, guide, love, and bless me or those that I love and care about. So today I have made a decision, a decision that I must wake up and make every day of my life. I WILL begin and end each day with a commitment to TRUST GOD with every aspect of my life, His purpose for it, and to lead me down right paths. I WILL FAIL. But, and this is the critical part, I will still be loved unconditionally, I will still be forgiven and I WILL continue to try with every new day. Each day is a blessing because each day is a do over. I am terrible sometimes at quoting scripture. But there is a verse I have on the tip of my tongue that tells us exactly that...it goes something like His mercy's are new everyday...I trust that, I rest in that, I am grateful for that and I am humbled and broken by that...are you? And if you are not, what holds you back from Trusting Him? It is an interesting journey to Trust, I hope you will make it.

Blessings,
