Trust










Look at the night skies: Who do you think made all this? Who marches this army of stars out each night, counts them off, calls each by name- so magnificent! so powerful!- and never overlooks a single one?Why would you ever complain... or whine... saying "God has lost track of me. He doesn't care what happens to me"?
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening? God doesn't come and go.


God LASTS.


-Isaiah 40:27-29




It is so "human" to get so caught up in our own agenda that we forget to call on Jesus for His plan. God gives us opportunities, people, or even experiences that are meant as blessings but can ultimately distract us from the intimacy that we need with our Savior. Much like a negative side-affect associated with an otherwise really great medicine, the side-affect of happiness and just plain "good things" is sometimes too much "me" and not enough God.











"Who did this? Who made it happen? Who always gets things
started? I did. GOD.
I'm first on the scene. I'm also the last to leave."



Isaiah 41:4 reminds us that even in the good things, God is in control. All we need to do is trust Him and seek Him, and thank Him! Nothing can fill the desires of our souls but GOD himself. No good thing, no person, and no place. He created us to need Him. So seek Him. He will not leave you, in good times or bad. He is there. Period.
