Who Do We Trust?

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” Proverbs 3:5


Trust in the Lord

These four words tell me that we are to do as they say. My question is; “Do we actually trust God for all things?”


As I write this, our nation awaits the outcome of a presidential election. This election cycle has been difficult to read about.


Also, our world seems very close to several more major conflicts that seem to cause predictions of another World War, thought to be nuclear.


As I see it, we truly need to Truly Rely Upon the Savior’s Timing.


As I sit here, I await a phone call from our son. He will tell his dad of a medical lab test he had done. My husband is not well and does not realize the danger he is in himself.


All I can do is pray and trust God for the outcome.


<B>with ALL your heart </B>


We humans have a tendency to hold back from one another. If we ask someone; “How are you?” We might hear: “I’m good!” When I hear this I often wonder if that person is truly all right. When I am asked that question I need to answer; “Living one day at a time.” Or “Trusting the Lord.”


We must trust the Lord without fail. I believe that, if we would practice trusting Him to that extent, we would be better representatives of Him to the world.

lean not on your own understanding.


We are finite beings. God is infinite. We know not even a thimbleful of what God knows. We grouse about things when those things don’t turn out as we would like.It is possible that we truly did not know that what we desired was not good for us at that time.

  1. It is so easy to say (or sing) we trust in the Lord, but do we really? I know what you are saying here, I think we all struggle with it from time to time. I hope the doctor's report was a good one.

  2. One of my favorite scriptures, Cecelia. It's a great time to open our hearts to God and let Him heal us and guide us as He sees fit in these difficult times. Blessings!

    1. Martha Jane: It's one of my favorites, as well. I have learned so much about myself and my relationship with God by studying God's Word and some Christian authors. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
