Proverbs 3:5-6
We find it much easier to trust when we are young. This trust begins to fade away when we grow in our understanding of all that we see around us. We begin to trust more in ourselves and not in God simply because we are able to explain many of the mysteries that surround us. We must relearn through time that just because our Lord gives us a measure of strength to do the work set before us that we are still not in control. So, we attain understanding of all that we see around us, which is to say that we understand nothing. For we know that all we see is perishing, but all that we cannot see is eternal. As we grasp the more at all we can see we are actually separating ourselves from Truth. All we see has come from what we cannot see and all that we see is to be used for the purpose of what we cannot see. Only God the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit can sustain us in this life and the next. When we submit to this Truth without our pride of life it is then and only then when we can begin to answer many questions. How much control did we ever have? Who can we trust to watch over us, if we are not in control? Who is in control?
When we answer these questions then we are able to let go and to let God. We are able to let Him show us where we really stand, which is under Judgement. We are able to let Him into our hearts, which is the new birth from above. We are able to let Him show us the way, which is His Son upon the Cross and we are able to let Him take all that is His, which is everything. We are then able to see that we are Steward’s here and that even this place does not belong to us. We learn through experience that our Father in heaven is in complete control and that He is intimately involved in every single one of His children’s lives. We come to see that Life is what God has given to us not what our parents have done. So, we move from trust to trust; we move from faith to faith. We start with Faith, we journey with faith, and our lives will end with faith that brings the Hope in which we live. It is a trust that grows with every passing day as we look back and see how our Father in heaven has worked everything in our life into His purpose. It is this trust that allows a peace that will never let go. It is this trust in our Creator through it all, from the beginning to the end, that keeps us calm in the storms of life and it is this trust that allows us to fully experience the love of God.
