Those who trust

I had a friend challenge me the other day about some things that I had allowed to continue bothering me, things that I have no control over, things that I can influence very little. Yet, I was still allowing them to occupy way too much of my time, energy, and outlook.

So, anyway, this friend began to tell me the story of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham was to take Isaac and sacrifice him. Isaac was the chosen son, he was to be the father of many, Abraham and Sarah had waited one hundred years and ninety years, respectively, for this promised child. If Abraham was to sacrifice him, how were all these promises going to be fulfilled?

Today's word is Psalm 125:1, NLT, which reads, "...Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever."

Abraham didn't know how GOD was going to work it all out but he had faith that GOD was going to work it all out. If he followed GOD'S directive, did as he was asked to do, he knew GOD was going to work it all out. He may not have known HOW GOD was going to work it out but he had faith that GOD WOULD. I find myself too often on the HOW, and not often enough on the fact that HE WILL.

Whatever you may be going through right now, just know that GOD has a plan, and His plan is perfect. Don't be like me and get hung up on the HOW. Be like Abraham and faithfully trust that HE WILL. GOD has us securely in His hand and we will not be defeated. This is what GOD does for those who trust.

Be Blessed,
