Trust:::

As women of God we are told to trust God! Not just when things are easy,and not just when we want to. So many things happen in our lives daily, and many things will be happening. We have to be able to trust him with our lives.

Trust is :::Giving all to God , doing what he wants you to do and leaving the rest of the plans to him…


Trust isn’t::making our own plans, trust isn’t making back up plans just in case “trusting” God doesn’t work…it’s not worrying constantly about things going on

And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9:10

commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.

Psalm 37:3-6

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Recently one of the little fellows flew into the garage and got lost. Though the door was open, he didn't see it. He insisted, instead, on bashing his head against a closed window, determined to get out. Soon our whole family was in the garage, empathizing with his confusion. "Help him out, daddy," came the chorus from my kids. So I tried. I opened the window, hoping he'd fly out - he didn't. I nudged him with a broom handle. He wouldn't budge. Finally, after several firm pokes, he made a Move...the wrong way. He fluttered inside the two window panes. Now he was trapped. what a pitiful sight. I had no choice. I stuck my fingers in the opening, Grabbed a few feathers, and jerked him out. I'm sure he didn't appreciate the yank, but at least he was free. The bird thought I was cruel. If only he had known that I had come to help. If only he knew..." Like the little hummingbird, we sometimes don't understand what God is doing in our lives. Or we want Him to hurry up. We need to remember: Isa 55:8 (NIV) "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.

Dear Lord, help us to trust in You when we misunderstand, or can't see what is ahead. Help us to believe in our hearts, that You love us infinitely, and want only our good. Help us rest in Your love, and be content and at peace no matter our circumstances. It's hard for us, Lord, to not be anxious; we need Your help. In Jesus' name, amen.
