Trusting

Ever play the trust game as a young teen?  You stand on a short ledge and fall backward into the arms of a small group of friends, trusting they will catch you before you hit the ground hard. We may not always be able to fully trust those around us, but we will always be able to trust in the arms of God.

We are encouraged in the Word that no matter what the circumstances, press in hard after God. The Psalmist shouts in Psalm 63:8, "My Soul follows hard after Thee; Thy right Hand upholds me." God is a Sovereign God who undergirds us with His strength and orders our steps. 

If we walk "in Christ" we are guaranteed the safety of His grip and the guidance of His Spirit. When we follow hard after God, He sees our passion to serve Him and be obedient to His Word. He said, those who love me will keep my commandments. When we walk in His Word, we welcome His Divine Blessings and Favor.

Life is not always perfect, not always free of sickness and pain, and certainly is not without loss. But one thing is certain.... when we follow hard after God, we know He is in control. All things rest in His Sovereignty and He always knows what is best. He has a plan for us and we must trust Him fully.
