{trust Him today}

There are no guarantees in life. As much as my affinity-for-control mind would like to think that I can somewhat predict what tomorrow will look like, I can't. That is why I must trust Him today.

"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." Isaiah 26:3

God is good. He is faithful. His promises are true. Though he does not promise ease or comfort in this life, He does promise blessing and peace to those who trust in Him. The thing is, I can't say I trust God today and then try to orchestrate my own tomorrow. I am realizing I can't trust him today and then coast into tomorrow. I have to trust him today, then tomorrow I 'trust him today' again, and the next day...and you get the point.

Tomorrow might look very different from what I thought it would look like. Or it might not. Decisions might need to be made that I did not see coming. There may be fear, there may be weariness. But God is not taken off-gaurd. He is not surprised. He is not scrambling or in a hurry to fix things up. His plan is carefully designed, mapped out, intentional. He is always drawing us closer, into complete dependence upon Him, the author of our faith. He is providing what we need at every turn.

Lord may I trust you today, may I just walk where you lead. And then may I wake up and do it again tomorrow.

"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall...as for me, I trust in you." Psalm 55:22-23
