Trust Him

When times are uncertain we try to rationalize, explain, evaluate our odds. Trying to figure out what is right or come up with our own strategic plan. When unsteady times approach us, our mind plays all the available outcomes. What decision should I make? What should we do? What is the answer? Will it work out? Will it be okay? We rationalize over and over again what possible chance the event will unfold to our benefit, what we can say, what we can do to make the most out of our situation.  We spend hours unfolding, refolding the events; doing a play by play of what happened or what might happen.

Don’t let the world or the enemy steal those precious hours from you.  Instead focus on the Lord and trust Him. Trusting in Him means we let go of our ways, our management strategies, our tactics, our ideas and rely on the Lord’s ability, strength, and promise to us. 

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. 
Psalm 18:30

After all, the Lord has a plan for us. It is a plan in which He designed, but these plans always include us needing God.  He also designed us to need Him.  When these uncertain times approach us, and they will, remember God can be found at the center of it all. Turn your control over to Him and simply trust Him.

The LORD will guide you continually,

And satisfy your soul in drought,

And strengthen your bones;

You shall be like a watered garden,

And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Isaiah 58:11

You are fearfully and wonderfully made

(Psalm 139:14)
