Trust. It’s my word of the year. It has proved to be exceedingly difficult maintain. My verse of the year is, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 I’m just going to be honest – it has been hard to trust Him with all of my heart. Really, it has been hard to trust Him with half of my heart. So many tragic events have occurred all over the world. My own world has been wrought with difficulty, sadness, and fear. I have found myself wondering if I should be trusting Him at all.
When I am listening though it is in His gentle whispers to my heart that He has reassured me that He is still in control, that He is still trustworthy. He is not trustworthy because everything is perfect and easy. He is trustworthy because He is there in the midst of the pain. He is trustworthy because He has proven Himself faithful in the past – one only has to look at the miracle of my husband and children to know that He has been faithful to me. He is trustworthy because He is God and I am not. So, I will continue to trust Him – even if at times I falter.
