Simply Trust

Some days it is really hard for me to trust the Lord, trust that He will lead me each step of the way. I always come back to the verse in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." That part about "leaning on your own understanding" is tough for me as oft my mind works a mile a minute to try to understand the depth of my situation and where it is leading to. I thank God that He is in control and trust that today I must do what He's called me to do and He will lead me each step of the way! Lord, I'm keeping my eyes on You and resting in the fact that nothing I do can separate me from your love.

Read Romans 8:24-the end today to be assured that your life is in God's hands.

Beautiful post Joey! Have you read the "Bring the Rain" blog lately? Specifically the one called "Blink"? Josh spoke to me the other day about some of the things he saw while over in Baghdad. He's been a little different since he's returned. He said, I just know now that no matter how bad it can get, it is still good because at least here, we have each other and God. I thought that was poetic. I guess seeing people who do not have God to lean against really showed him how great our Father is.
