Trust

confident expectation of something; hope

Now that is a definition I can live with! Have you ever experienced issues with trusting someone or something? Maybe even trusting in something God has promised you?

I certainly have. And it is amazing just how awesome it is to set yourself free and trust in someone or in an idea, or in a promise! It does tell us in THE WORD that ALL of God's promises are yes and amen!

But one of the biggest problems we face is that we do not know what those promises are because - as my pastor pointed out yesterday - we do not know our promised land that exists for us today in the very living, breathing, word of God!

I am learning to trust in deeper ways than I ever imagined. God reminded me of a perfect example of just what it means to trust someone. Read on for more details...

We were on our way to a graduation party and ceremony, just my husband and me! It was a great day to ride the motorcycle so we headed out to the north GA mountains for a beautiful ride. It was pleasant, the sound of the motorcycle was soothing, and I was just enjoying being in God's beautiful playground! We took the back roads and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sights along the way. Well, about half way into the trip, I was soooooo at peace with my surroundings and my chauffeur that I actually fell asleep on the back of that motorcycle!

Crazy huh????

Riding 60+ miles an hour on the open road without anything holding me in place! Well, the fact of the matter is that I REALLY trust my husband! He is an awesome driver, and I feel totally at peace with him behind the wheel. How else could you explain sleeping on a motorcycle?

So the question is...Do I trust God that much? Can I simply let go and let HIM drive this roller coaster and peacefully rest while He takes me where He wants me to go? Can I sit in His lap with my head on His chest and just breathe - regardless of the circumstances? Can you?

If I can do that, then I have trumped my trials by trusting in the very one that deserves it most. He loves me, has a plan for me, and if I will just trust Him the way I trusted my husband - can you imagine what I can overcome...or what you can overcome?

To confidently expect that something good for my life is happening even now. To have and to give hope everywhere I turn! I want to try! How about you?
