Trust in Him at all times… (Psalm 62:8).

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thy own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust (Psalm 40:4).

For me, 2011 is all about trust.  Trusting God–at all times and in all things.  In my life and ministry, I’ve done a lot of study on trusting in the Lord and have found it to be the thing that always centers me, takes the edge off, brings me back to a state of peace and gives me hope for brighter days to come.  Simply put, trusting God is not an event; it’s a way of life.  And what a way to live!

If you want to get God involved in what you’re doing, trust Him!  Believe in Him!  Have faith in God! And the Scripture tells us we can confidently do so “at all times”.  In fact, TRUST gives THRUST (movement, action and momemtum) to the hand of God!  The one whose heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord, is the one who will see the hand of God at work on your behalf.

So if you’ve ever tried to impress God with your works, your smarts, or whatever, you can relax and simply trust.  Jesus said that believing on Him = the will of God.  So there’s nothing more to add to that.  And I don’t mean that you don’t put action to your faith and dreams, but under-girding it all should be a quiet, confident, reliant trust in Him–at all times.

He’s there for you and me as we walk out this new year of life, and He’s ready to take us forward in His glorious plan.  So just trust Him.

Blessings,
