Only trust Him...only trust Him...only trust Him now...He will save you, He will save you, He will save you now.
The Lord has been teaching me a lot about trusting Him lately and allowing Him to captivate every thought. Last week, I read Romans 8:31,"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" and then, 2 Corinthians 4:18 "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." Through both of them I found myself brought back to the overarching theme of trust. Do I trust Him every single day? If I can't trust Him, if I'm not willing to give it all over to Him, it's probably because I like to think I have control. I usually can't give things to Him because I'm holding too tightly to them myself. I like being in control - but oh how mistaken I am...even if I don't give it to Him, even if I am scared of what trusting Him might look like - I'm still NOT in control...I still can't plan out how the days will fall and what will or won't happen - only He can! How much more of a peaceful journey it would be if I allow myself to abide in Him, allowing myself to rest in His control, His soverignty, and His perfect plans.

Mind you, never an easier journey but a peace filled one.
Trust and obey, trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.
