Trust is a word Jesus is often reminding me to put into my daily practice.  If someone asked me a few years back about worry/trust I’d tell them I wasn’t much of a worrier.  Today, now that I’ve awakened to the truth about me, I confess I often worry.  I worry about my kids, my grandkids, the problems others are experiencing in their lives who are connected someway with me or our family and the list goes on.  Much of the worry centers on my desire to have healthy relationships (as man would define them).

This morning, in my devotions, I was journaling and praying about some issues surrounding my family and the families of the Celebrate Recovery ministry for which I’m involved.  A couple of the cases are seemingly severe and I wanted to get myself involved knowing my involvement could help a great deal–see where that ego comes in.  Jesus quickly reminded me about TRUST.  In fact he quite bluntly said:  “I am glorified through your trust.  When you trust you stay out of the way and I am able to do the work I want done.  You know when I involve you as I nudge you.  Today I’m nudging you to trust in me.  There is a song for which some of the lyrics are:  “I will trust in you, I will trust in you….”  I wish I could remember the rest of the words but the tune and just those 5 words keep repeating in my mind.  I want this lesson to be one I let the roots grow deep.  I actually hate worry and I love trust so for today, I WILL TRUST IN YOU.
