This can be so loaded. How many times do we say "don't you trust me?" Sometimes, I picture God sitting with his head in His hands shaking back in forth saying "let go and trust me. I am in this with you--for you. Ahh honey I know best." I hope you can hear the Love that God has for each of you.
As a parent of a child of any age, we share that love for our children and that longing to help them. At some point the sweet children need to make choices for them selves that the parents must love them through. We are to be like Jesus. He loves us at all times. He stays with us at all times. He will always give us the opportunity to choose the RIGHTeous path.
As children of God and as adults in the lives of children around us we must lean on the Lord for direction. We must be obedient to his word and instructions. How can we do this if we do not know who Jesus is and what he says? How can we teach our children? How can we be an example to those around us?
Trust is for all created things.
Birds must trust from the moment they are born. For food, shelter and protection. They must also trust that the first step out of the nest is a long one and that those sweet little wings that God gave them will work.
Remember the visual of a baby bird the next time you don't understand but you feel God's leading.
Lean HARD and
Take the leap of faith--TRUST
Trust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART and lean NOT on your own understanding; in ALL your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3: 5-6
