Trust

TRUST

Trust is just a little word with a big meaning.

While reading my devotional book a few days ago

I came across this article and wanted to share it with you.

Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that,

if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

John 11:40 

Jesus is saying, “You may not understand,

but if you believe, you will see.”

Abraham could not understand why God

asked him to sacrifice his promised son,

but he trusted God.

Jacob could not understand why 

his beloved son was taken away from him,

but he trusted God.

Joseph could not understand being sold

into Egypt by his brothers 
and  spending time in prison

because he was falsely accused,

but he trusted God.

And friend, you may not understand why

 the things in your life are happening to you,

why good things seem to go wrong and

cherished things taken away,

but keep on trusting God.

 

And we know that all things work together for good

to them that love God, to them

who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28 

 

If we could push ajar the gates of life,

And stand within, and all God’s working see,

We might interpret all this doubt and strife,

And for each mystery could find a key.

But not today.  Then be content, poor heart;

God’s plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold,

We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart –

Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.

And if, through patient toil, we reach the land

Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest,

When we shall know and understand,

I think that we shall say, ‘God knew best’”
