Trust

Trust is defined as firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing. As we begin a new year it is always time for reflection. Do we really trust God? Do we rely on God's integrity? "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."(Romans 8:28) Do we rely on God's ability? "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."(Philippians 4:13) Do we rely on God's character? "But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love."(I John 4:8)
As we begin this new year, this time of reflection on the past and what to do with our future, I want to encourage all of us to do just one thing - trust. Trust that God displayed a true nature in Jesus Christ. Trust that Jesus came fully as God and man to show us how to live a life of purpose and how to treat others. Trust that Jesus came to love us. Trust that God has always loved us and always will. Trust that God will finish the work that was started. Trust.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6
