Trust First...

Isn't this what we all struggle with. Trust, how can I? What if I get hurt, what if the person I put my trust in betrays me? God I will trust you when you do what I want. God I know you will provide for me but I will trust you after you've come through. I am so quick to say I trust God, but when I really stop to think about it I want God to come through the way I want Him to than I'll trust. Recently Jason was supposed to get a new job, but at the last minute it fell through. We really needed this job, or so we thought. We were devastated. I see now that we were putting our trust in this job to provide for our financial needs. Yet God wanted our trust to be in Him first! Jason is still looking for another job...but we are trusting first in God's provision through his current job and hopefully a new one! Our pastor gave a message this Sunday and touched on this. It is amazing to me how God put something on someones heart that spoke to me. One of the verses our pastor gave was Proverbs 3:5-6. I have heard it so many times...yet I needed to hear it again!
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and do not lean on your own
understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make your paths straight.
Trust with ALL your heart! May not be easy...yet God will be there!
