trusting.

trust. this is a constant theme in my quiet times. probably because i have a hard time with it. we had a worship night last night, and my wonderful roommate, anna, spoke some incredible truth about fully trusting God and what that looks like. she spoke about how we are quick to say "i trust you, Lord" ...but do we really trust Him? what does that look like for you? i'll be honest. i have a tendency to worry. i'm an "N" (myers-briggs), so i see everything big picture style and i worry about the future. i worry about getting things done. i worry about what's to come...but God speaks against those things.

"when i am afraid, i will trust in You. in God, whose Word i praise, in God i trust; i will not be afraid."

ps. 56:3-4

here's the thing about it: we can speak those truths into our lives, but we really need to do it. we need to give every burden, every worry, every fear, every doubt over to the one who sent His son to die so we could do just that. Jesus gave his own life to free us from these afflictions. read that sentence again. his LIFE. for us. for our freedom. i've never thought about it that way until today. we absolutely better be trusting Him. talk about a perspective shift.
