A City Called Trusting

I recently had a dream that I was abandoned at a city called trusting. Ironic isn't it? That I can be abandoned and to abandoned or left at a place called trusting. What could God be trying to tell me? That in moments of isolation. When friends walk away, jobs dissipate, and everything that I've been familiar with fades away, God is still there. God is still providing. God is still speaking. He won't walk away. He won't leave me desolate. Trusting is never easy. Whether you are trying to trust God or trust others. To trust means that you have to ignore all that you know to be true and accept that which is unknown. God is calling us to a season of unprecedented trust in Him. The world we live in tells us to hold on to what we know. God tells us to swim upstream--against the current.

I have been good at trusting God as long as I know what He is doing. Today, I am challenged to trust God when I know nothing, see nothing, feel nothing and sense nothing. I close my eyes and open my heart to the GOD who is worth trusting...

The Psalmist says in Psalm 23, "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want." I will meditate on this scripture and let it become my bread for today. I encourage you to look to GOD because He is your source,

Prayer: Lord forgive me for trusting in my own abilities and in my own strength. Lord, I want to believe you but I fear that you won't come through for me. I want to give this doubt and unbelief to you. You are worth trusting. Help me to rest in who you are and help me trust what you can do. Let your peace wash over me and let not my heart be troubled. In Jesus Name I Pray..Amen
