In This Issue:
~We wrote a short weekly devotion about trust and when it's hard to trust.
When Trust Is Hard
âTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.â â Proverbs 3:5-6
One cold January day, while Peter was eating home-cooked stew with his wife and kids, he shared a concept heâd heard about on the radio. âYou pick one word that youâll use to guide you through the upcoming year. I thought itâd be cool if we did that as a family this year.â
His wife loved the idea and encouraged their children to think up the word they should choose.
After a round of suggestions, Lexi, his daughter, grinned, âWhat about trust? You said our homeâs foundation is Proverbs 3:5.â
So, Peter and his family chose the word âTrustâ for the year. They were surprised to see it come up again and again as the months passed.
âMy wife didnât get the job she wanted, and God told us to trust. So we did, and God opened up a position for her at another company with
better benefits and less commute time.â Peter explained.
âWe saw it work with Lexi. She tried out for cheerleading, and then cross-country running. She didnât get into either one. But God reminded us to trust. A few weeks later, God brought a wonderful vocal coach into Lexiâs life. If sheâd been busy with those other activities, she wouldnât have time to work on her singing.â
Sometimes, things donât work out the way weâd hoped. That might mean losing out on a job you wanted, not getting to participate in an activity you love, or missing out on a special trip. But rest assured that God is working behind the scenes for you, His beloved child.
God, sometimes Iâm disappointed with the way a situation happens. But when those moments come, help me to remember to trust in You. I know Youâre always working on my behalf. I love you, Father. In Jesusâ name, Amen.
I hope you have an amazing week ahead.
Grace and peace,
Alicia
