O For Grace to Trust Him MORE!

Today I am grateful that God is TRUSTWORTHY.
Just like I know that the sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening....I also know that God will never fail me.  His Word promises me He will never leave me or forsake me.  In my study of the life of David, Beth Moore pointed out in one of her lectures how God draws us in to trust Him more because He wants to bless us.  He knows what's best for us and how to get us there.  On the flip side of that.....the enemy continually tries to gain our trust so he can betray us.  If he can get us to cling to and trust in something other than God, he knows we won't be walking in victory.  Oh how many times have I trusted in something other than God?  Put my hope in something tangible & temporary? Held it too tightly in my white-knuckled fists? All the while feeling more and more distanced from my Savior and walking in defeat.
Trust.  That's all it takes.  And He has proven Himself worthy of our trust....so why delay?

"He emptied my hands of my treasured store,
    And His covenant love revealed,
There was not a wound in my aching heart,
    But the balm of His breath hath healed.
Oh, tender and true was the chastening sore,
    In wisdom, that taught and tried,
Till the soul that He sought was trusting in Him,
    And nothing on earth beside."   ~ Mrs. Charles E. Cowman
