Trust is the Theme

Trust continually keeps popping up.  Yesterday's devotional spoke of trusting even though we do not always see resolutions to our difficulties in this world.

John 16:33  These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. 

In the Bible study we are doing in Mark, the question was asked;  " What sort of things do you think kept the disciples from recognizing who Jesus was?  What keeps us from trusting Him today?  Again, this pointed my thinking to trust. Why do I struggle with it.  Do I not know who God is?  What He is?

And on to today's daily devotional...."Trust is the golden pathway to Heaven."

I am grateful that the Lord is not letting this go.  I am even grateful for the visits of difficulties that are teaching me to trust Him and His goodness more.  Like when Spot disappeared.  I want to walk that golden pathway to heaven.  Leaning on, trusting in and going forward hand in hand with Jesus.

Help me to trust You today.  Help me to trust You more.  Help me to focus on my need of You each moment, trusting You with each second, whether things are going smoothly or when the road is rocky and pitted.  Lord, let me be aware You are always with me, and always working all things out for good.

Romans 8:28  And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

John 14:1  Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
