Trust in Him

Will you trust in Him when you're not sure if you're going to get that promotion? Will you trust in Him when you're not sure where the rent check is going to come from? Will you be a person of conviction? I listened to a podcast tonight from Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Ky., that really hit home. The speaker asked all of these questions.

The speaker asked another question, "Will you be the type of person to trust in Him even though you don't know what's going to happen next?"

This hit home tonight because I have one big thing on the table right now. I have no clue what's going to happen. I have no idea if I'm good enough to be used in this capacity. You know how sometimes you feel like you're a fake? You really don't know what you're doing, you're just breezing by? Ever felt that way? I struggle with that a lot. The point is trust regardless of all this. Trust that God has a plan, and He's working to fulfill it.

Tonight I also found out that a little boy, probably 10 or 11 years old, from back home has brain cancer. Yes, even in this, trust Him. God is good. He is almighty. He is all powerful. Pray for Mason and the Bennett family. Trust in God above all else. Even in Mason's battle, God is there. I don't know what His plan is for all this. But I know it is there. We just have to trust.

I also am still involved with the junior high girls Wednesday night class at church. There are some girls in that class really struggling. They are hurting. They are missing parents. They have lost family members. They are crying out for attention from anyone who will listen. They are also lovers of Christ. They are some of the most sincere teenage girls I have ever known. Some of things they are going through.... I will never understand. I will never understand why a 13-year-old girl has to grow up way ahead of her years. I will understand that God is in control and to just trust.



When I fail to trust, I will think of this past Sunday morning. I was visiting a church in Kentucky Sunday morning. There were several baptisms that morning. A man was baptized that morning who turned to Christ from Hinduism. After he was baptized, he turned around and baptized his two sons.

After witnessing that amazing work of God, I thought to myself, "With God, all things are possible!" Now tying all of the pieces of this week together, I realize some things. My big thing is in God's hands. I can be used! God is, again, all powerful. He's so powerful that He can use a wee one like me. I just have to remember that when I fall into self-pity mode.

Also, Mason is in God's hands. No matter what happens, God loves Mason. He loves Mason's parents, Steve and Kathy. He will protect them and wrap His arms around that entire family.

God is over all, including every single girl in our class. He is almighty. Just trust.

Trust in Him.
