Verse of the Day - Psalm 62:8

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah. ~ Psalm 62:8 (NIV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Learning to trust God is a process. It is a practice. People you know who have great faith in God weren't born with it nor got it through osmosis. They made a decision to trust God for their circumstances, for their lives, over and over. And God was faithful, because He is always faithful to those who put their faith in Him. And so, they become people of great faith through the discipline of trusting God.

We can look at people of great faith and think, Gee, I wish I could be like them. But wishing doesn't make it so -- trusting does. Real faith comes from real trust. And God will never fail -- He will be your refuge if you run to Him and trust Him enough to pour out your whole life, with all your fears and doubts, warts and all. He'll never turn His back on you when you place your trust in Him.

So, where is the worry in your life right now? Whatever that is, I pray you can seriously consider giving that situation or person or prospect to the Lord. Trust Him to give you wise counsel. Trust Him to lead you where you should go. Trust Him to have your back. Trust Him to be in charge. Trust Him.

I guarantee you, there's no better position to put yourself in than to trust God with all that you have, 100%. Not 49% or 76%. 100%. Therein lies peace.

Love,
Joelene
