Trust in the Lord with all your heart

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding of things.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path."  Proverbs 3:5-6.

Get to know the Lord your God.  Develop a personal relationship with Him.  Your trust will come from knowing Him.  Are you wondering how you would get to know the creator of all things?  Well, you do a lot of the same things that you would do to get to know anyone else.  You've got to spend time with Him.  Read His Word.  Talk to Him.  Pray.  Go to places where other people are celebrating Him on a regular basis.  (church, bible study, choir practice).  Ask other people who know Him to tell you about Him.  That's what we do when we're interested in getting to know someone, right?  We go to hang out where they are.  Be open to learn about His ways and get to know how and what he thinks.  After a short time, you will fall in love with Him.  There is no way to avoid it.  He's better than a best friend, better than the best father, better than the most loving husband, better than the closest brother. He never waivers on His love for you, will never stab you in the back, will never change what he promised you, and will stand not only behind you 100%, but will also stand in front of and with you 100%.  He will prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemies.  Even when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil thing, because He is always with you.  His rod and His staff will comfort you (give you peace, security and safety). Like a shepherd He will lead you.  You will never be alone.

Now trust Him.  Give him the spiritual steering wheel and allow Him to guide your life.  When you don't exactly understand what's going on, relax and let Him handle it.  When you keep trying to make things go the way that you think they should, and they just won't cooperate, let it go.  He may be keeping you from making a terrible mistake, or missing a car accident, or He may be walking you into the greatest blessing of your life, He's just going about it in his own way.  After all- "His ways are higher than your ways, and His thoughts are higher than your thoughts".  He gives only good things and "causes all things to work together for your good as you are called together for His purpose" (salvation).  There is no love like the Father's love and there is no peace like the Father's peace.  IN Jeremiah 29:11 he says,"I know the plans I have for you.  They are for prosperity and not for harm, for hope and for a future."
                                     God is good.  ALL THE TIME

If you don't know Him and you would like to know the maker of all things say the sinners prayer with me. reference Romans 10:9-10.  It's called Romans Road

PRAYER
Heavenly Father I come before you today to confess that I am a sinner.  Lord please forgive my sins and make me brand new.  I believe that you, Jesus, are the son of God, that you hung on a cross to take away my sins.   I believe that you were raised again on the third day having conquered sin and death.  I thank you that you now hold the keys to sin and death and that on my last day I will be in heaven with you.  Help me to walk in your way.  Help me to believe.  Make me courageous so that I may follow you.   In Jesus name I pray.        Amen.
