Something that has been on my mind for the past month is putting my trust in God. It is something I've always thought of and feel like I do, but through different circumstances in my life, I have been asking myself, "Do I really trust God?" A wise friend shared with me, "You can only trust God to the point at which you know God." I started thinking about that....what do I know about God?
So, I started making a list of things I knew about God and where in scripture He tells me that. But as I was writing these things down I realized that I could come up with a really long list of things. So I started pondering over these verses and I challenged myself to not move on from them until I believed them to be true with my whole heart. It has required me to take my time and read them over and over. I started with a short list and it has grown a little since I first started it a week ago. It has caused me to meditate and think about it before moving on. I love how these verses, that I've heard my whole life, have really become alive to me! I no longer view the words "Trusting God" as an expression, but as an action. It is something that I am learning and putting into practice.
Here is my list so far. I hope these verses come alive for you as much as they have for me!
