I trust You, Jesus


Isaiah 40:21-26

Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
    Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,

    and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
    and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
He brings princes to naught
    and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
No sooner are they planted,
    no sooner are they sown,
    no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
    and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
“To whom will you compare me?
    Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
    Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
    and calls forth each of them by name.

I just love when God makes himself obvious to me.  So often I find God using multiple sources communicating the same thing to me.  At that point I figure I better listen up.  There was tender simplicity today from God.  My new devotional challenged me to practice saying “I trust You, Jesus…”  What are you facing?  What challenges are before you?  What seems simply impossible?  I trust You, Jesus… in my finances, for my marriage, with my family, for my future, for my country.  Whatever it is, practice trusting Jesus.  I thought about what I have trouble trusting Jesus for and as I turned to my journal to write about it, the words “I TRUST” were watermarked on the page.  I hear you Lord.  To that I say, “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!” - Mark 9:24  In light of Isaiah 40 it seems silly to not trust Him.

Lord, thank you that your word tells us that we will be blessed when we trust in you.  You continually prove yourself worthy of our trust.  Help us to relinquish our doubts that we may fully rely on you and not on our own abilities.  You alone are worthy.
