trust him, it's that simple

~ Dave posted this in the am hours today... "This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith." (1 Timothy 1:18, 19 NASB)

~ Then my pastor preached an incredible msg about trusting God.. "God giving us an Other Side Kind of Faith this morning at BethelCC. Matt 8 Jesus gave the command to go to the other side."

~ Reading back thru Dave's posts and it just occurred to me that he posted in the early am hours of the day.. how that God has entrusted us with stuff.. he trusts us with things important to him.. and then thought of Pastor Lance's msg today how that God wants us to trust him.. that's faith.. trusting God..

It's such a real relationship.. dependent on us trusting one another.. our Savior is a personal savior.. just as Lance said, from the beginning in the garden it wasn't as much a matter of do's and don'ts, or rules about what you can eat or can't eat.. it's a trust issue.. Adam and Eve questioned God, they failed to trust him.. a relationship can't succeed without trust and therefore it was broken..

Christ came to restore that relationship.. he asks us once again, one to one,
"will you trust me?"

Faith.

such simplicity, such honesty, such love.
when the storms of this life are raging.. are you willing to trust him, even when you don't have the answers and he says he does.. even when you only have the thing he put in your hands at the moment and not the full map.. even when it's hard and it hurts and it's scary...

will you trust him to get you to the other side, one step at a time...
that's the heartbeat of a relationship with him, the God of the universe.
We just have to trust him, and he will make sure things end well..
not just well.. but abundantly well, pressed down and over flowing with goodness and the desires of our heart and his <3
