Trust me...

Tonight we had some friends over for dinner and we had a lot of fun eating and talking. The younger kids went swimming and it was cute watching them have fun in the water. It was interesting to watch from the time they got in and how they reacted to the water. They weren't sure how deep the water was until someone showed them and explained that they could stand and it didn't go over their heads. At the beginning, the youngest one stepped into the middle where it was too deep and went under and was scared until Mom came and comforted him and stayed with him until he felt sure of himself. It was trust. They trusted the adults to tell them whether or not it was safe. This is how we are with God. We get saved and we are now His kids. We start to learn about Him and lean on Him and learn to trust Him. He promises to lead and guide us- Proverbs 3:5-6:

  "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

   In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

I have learned to trust Him enough now in my Christian walk to know that He only wants the best for me and won't leave me on my own as long as I follow Him. He will always be there with me and I can rest in the fact that He has gone through it before me-

1 Corinthians 10:13:

   "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

 I can TRUST Him as I live one day at a time. He won't steer me wrong-EVER! It is so reassuring to know that I have someone will never let me down. 

There is a song that I learned when I was a child and yet it is still appropriate and I still sing it as an adult:

"Trust and Obey, for there's no other way-to be happy in Jesus-but to trust and obey."
