Trust...

I was talking to my uncle today. It is always a joy to have a conversation with him. If you ever want to be encouraged he's the one who will do just that! I was talking about "trust" and how we have what I call an "active" way of trusting and a "dormant" way of trusting. Here is an example of "active" trust: I went for an interview, I trusted that the Lord would open the doors He wanted to, and show favor. The result: I was hired as a sub, the principal and staff liked me, and I like the school. That was "active" because I saw an instant result. I trusted God to carry me through it and He did all the way through the interview. Here is the "dormant" trust example: I trust that the Lord will guide me through a situation I am currently facing and that He will help me understand what I do not. I am placing my full trust in Him that I alone cannot do it but He can. What I am dealing with has no reward, no result(later on down the road perhaps), no miracle to be performed. This is "dormant" because I am to simply trust without seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, or even knowing the outcome. There is no result, no expected end time, it's just to simply trust.

What the Father has pointed out to me is I need to learn to TRUST Him. With every little thing. I do but I guess there are some areas where I question Him. I know better but it's extremely hard to trust when many, many times trust has been trampled upon. This is not my crutch, it's just an opportunity for growth.

I have learned that His truth is worthy! I trust that His word will never fail me. I trust that He knows my weakness and that He is not going to give up on me. I have a ways to go but I trust that He knows my every need and my very next breath.

Be Blessed~
