Trust

Isaiah 46:9

Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.

I woke up every day this week thinking about what should I share today. Nothing…not one thought gave fruit to anything. “Lord, I need something, Tuesday is coming and I have nothing started!” My statement was met with silence. 

I had my hair done this past Saturday, and as my stylist was washing my hair she asked me, “Do you ever worry about what to write?” I was quiet for a moment, remembering my week. “Yes, I do.” I told her, I hesitated a moment because I wasn’t sure how she would receive what I was about to say…” but I trust God.”

And there I sat, realizing He had just answered me. Trust. I trust God. God is trustworthy. How do I know? Because I remember. I remember the former things of so long ago. I remember the times He has always been faithful. 

Did I doubt? Maybe, I’m not sure. Did I put my faith in my own ability? Yes, this I did do. I was trying to do something for God and then ask His blessing. I was trying so very hard to work, to think, to produce what God wanted me to say or do… I was running ahead of God and He stopped. He let me try in my own power and I have no power, I have nothing apart from Christ Jesus…what I have in Jesus is forgiveness and reconciliation.  

Just like a child that runs ahead of their parent at a crowded mall and finds themselves lost in a mix of unknown. Fear, anxiousness, and panic may set in until the child looks back and sees their parent standing not too far…waiting for them to remember where they had come from. 

I know God is trustworthy because in reading scripture I saw a pattern emerge, looking back in my life I can recall His trustworthiness. I have learned to hear and recognize His voice through scripture, confirmation through the Holy Spirit, some circumstances, and this weekend through another person, my hair stylist.

    Lol we was talking about this the other week it’s funny how we do run ahead on our own but gently are led back. I have been noticing when a brother or Sister I run across start talking about our Lord that I feel the whorl wind of the spirit ignite and for a moment I feel heaven . Someday out there it will never end love you Sincerely VICTORY.

      Larry, this verse came immediately to mind:
      Matthew 18:20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
      I believe those moments are heaven here on earth…you don’t want them to end. There is nothing better than the sweet fellowship with our Lord shared among believers. He will never leave us. We are not orphans but children of Almighty God.
      As always, you brought a smile to my face, thank you!
