Trust does not always come naturally to me. Only a few years ago did I realize the depth of this distrust...it was brought to my attention that, all to often, I even find it difficult to trust God.
Anybody out there familiar with this?
I mean, how silly it seems! This is God we're talking about. My Creator, Savior, Redeemer, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, my Provider, Healer, and Best Friend. Why on earth would it be difficult to trust in Him?
For whatever reason, my flesh makes it very challenging. In my moments of weakness, when my Type A personality goes in to overdrive and wants to claim control over everything, and get squeemish when I don't think God is moving on my behalf. It's then that I hear Him, "Trust me." It's almost comical now. I can see God throwing his hands over his face, hiding the laughter, as if to say, "My daughter, haven't you leaned this yet? I love you! I have you!"
Once I was aware of this boulder blocking progression in my relationship with my Lord, I was eager to work through it, to overcome it.
The best infiltration I have in this battle against my flesh is The Word. God's Word is filled with promises to us.
Below is a list of some of my favorite verses. These verses put God's promises in the present tense for me. They remind me of the intimate relationship between my Heavenly Father and Mallory (insert name).
On a daily basis, yes daily, I am hiding His Word in my heart.
