Taking Trust to Heart

"I will trust in you." *

Wise words in a song by Lauren Daigle that remind me of what I already know but needed to hear today in the midst of the continuing uncertainly of life in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I was asking God for a crystal ball.  Daigle's song says,

"Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings

There's not a day ahead You have not seen"

I was asking God for answers.  Daigle's song says,

"When You don't give the answers / As I cry out to You

I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You"

If you look up at the header for this blog, you might chuckle at the irony of my needing to hear these words from Lauren Daigle.  The frog is my acronym reminder to trust God and has been for years. I know Isaiah 26:3 quite well and refer to it often. Doesn't mean I always listen.  Or take it to heart.

Daigle's song wasn't my only word from God about trusting today.  I also read 1 Kings 17 this morning in which Elijah is fed by ravens, and then by a widow who thought she only had enough flour and oil to make one last meal for herself and her son.  Because she trusted Elijah's word from God enough to feed him first, they had enough to keep eating for many days afterwards.  I did notice the trust she demonstrated.  I did noticed that God blessed her trust.  I did remember that I have seen God bless my trust in my own past experience.  I just wasn't getting to a place of trusting God today
. . . until I listened to that song.

"When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move . . .

I will trust, I will trust in You"

That was just what I needed to hear and keep on singing. Thanks, God.
