Trust. by definition is a noun: firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. God reminded me of this today and it was definitely something I needed to be reminded of.
A couple months ago at the Women of Faith Conference the question was asked: "Who from the bible would you like to meet?" Of course, my first answer was " Jesus. Helloooo.... really? Next question." But then I really thought about it and the story of Peter stepping out of the boat walking on the water came to my mind. WOW! Can you imagine for a second putting all your worries in the hands of Jesus and trusting Him unconditionally? I would love to meet Peter and ask "What was that like?"
I realized though, I don't have to meet Peter to find out. Since then, I have made a decision to trust the Lord completely. I can put the worry of school, my health, and everything else in His hands (Surely, his hands are big enough to carry my burdens :) ) and experience trust in that way. Ok, easier said than done, but I'm working on it.
The One who created the Earth, the GALAXY, every mountain, and every being is in charge of my worries. The One who remains faithful time and time again has to deal with my problems. Hmm.. I think everything will work out fine. It almost seems silly, comical, hilarious, absurd that I didn't trust Him in the first place.
I am human, and I know there might be a time when I begin to sink and cry out "Lord, help me!" but I am so thankful that the Lord is paitient and before I can even finish my plea for help He will have swooped me up and placed me back on firm ground. Or maybe... back on the water.
