Really Trust Him!!!!

Luke 8:22-25

Trust Him!  Trust Him!  Trust Him!

Alright, no this is not yesterday’s blog post, but it is the same message!  Different scriptures, but same message from God…just trust me!  And at this point I am not sure if anyone needs to hear this as much as I do.  I go back to my regular Bible reading in Luke 8 and once again it is simply about trust!  No doubt, that God is trying to get something stuck in this hard head of mine.

The disciples’ reaction in this story is no different than what I have done and still do sometimes.  I love and trust Jesus, but then when something happens that I have no control over I start panicking…what if I can’t do this, what if this happens, what if that happens, and on and on.  Now let me clarify, I usually don’t continue to panic throughout the situation, it is only in the beginning and then God always, always steps in and calms me…making me realize that he is in complete control of everything in my life---even the stuff that I think are out of control.  So why do I do this?  Will I ever get to a point that I look at everything and know, and I mean really know deep down, that God has got it?  I want to and I do honestly know in my mind and heart that he is in complete control, but I guess it is that human part, that flesh, that rears its head and says ‘doubt’ and ‘worry’.  So I go back to last night’s scripture from Proverbs---I can never understand everything, God never intended for me to understand everything, I have to acknowledge daily that I cannot depend on my own understanding, I can only trust God and know that his ways are so much better than mine and no matter what comes my way, He is in control.  And even when I act like the disciples and become scared and doubtful, all I have to do is call on him and he will calm the storm!
