Trust.....

We are all told as young children that we can do anything we put our minds to. We are told to "make our own luck". Basically, we are taught to become independent. I think we may have been done a dis-service. I wonder what the world would look like if we would have been taught to trust in the Lord. Would there be professional atheletes hitting their chests after touchdowns? Would there be greedy, prideful executives taking salaries of millions and millions of dollars? What would this world be like if we all trusted in the Lord the way we should?

Jeremiah 17 says
5 This is what the LORD says:
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD.

6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
he will not see prosperity when it comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.

7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.

8 He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."


Proverbs 3:5 says to lean not on our own understanding, but rather turst in the Lord, it goes on to say acknowledge Him in all our ways, and He will make our paths straight. Who could use a personal GPS? Who knows exactly what tomorrow will bring? God knows. Trust Him today, He is waiting for you to open the door.
