Trust
Seven minutes of writing stream of conciousness begins now!
Trust. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is in the LORD." Jeremiah 17:7 I think, if I were to look up the Hebrew, that there might be a bit of a difference in those two parts of the sentence. But what matters to me is...
Do I truly trust the Lord?
I mean really, do I?
If I truly trust the Lord, would I worry about so many things?
I've made great progress in this over the last few years. I've come to realize, through years of living with a faithful LORD and Savior, that He always takes care of me. Always. I don't really worry for me. Though retirement does seem a bit scary when faced without savings. But God.
He took care of us through all of these years with low, slow, or no income. How can I think that he will not continue to care for me and for my husband? That's not even fair to Him. He has shown himself faithful to all generations, and He has shown himself faithful to care for my every need.
When I am afraid, I will trust in Him.
He is worthy of praise, trust, hope, and calm faith.
Time's up!
I will trust in the Lord at all times.

Oh, yes, Laura - trust in the Lord always, and lean not on your own understanding. He does and will provide!
ReplyDelete🌸 Laura, your words are such a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness. I love how you share your heart so honestly—it encourages me to trust Him more deeply, even in uncertain times. Thank you for shining His light through your writing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful message for all of us, Laura. Trust in the Lord always!
ReplyDeleteSch a great post!
ReplyDeleteI do know how you feel. I think I've trusted completely in Him and then I just keep on worrying. Much progress has been made over the years though, I'm not nearly as filled with anxiety as I used to be and I credit that completely to the Lord.

We say that we trust completely. And we certainly know we can trust Him completely....but we don't always act that way, do we? Creating safety nets and back-up plans. But, like you, God has patiently brought me a long way. My trust is deeper and stronger...and continues to grow. I really appreciated your post here today! Happy Monday!
