Good morning beloved, happy Saturday,
“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.”
(Psalm 56:3).
Trusting Jesus is such a simple and beautiful thing. Though the concept is not complex nor difficult to understand, putting it into practice is another story. The more we fear, the more we need to trust in Jesus.
Did you ever know notice how easy things are when we aren’t under pressure and everything is going well? It is much harder to trust when things are hard, going against us, and things seem to be impossible. This is really where our trust is tested.
I lead the singing at our church and it is a great blessing and responsibility. I get to choose what congregational hymn we will sing at our Sunday morning service. I love to sing hymns, and there are quite a few of them on trusting God.
The hymn writer Louisa M. R. Stead wrote a wonderful hymn entitled, “‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.” The fourth stanza says, “I’m so glad I learned to trust Him, precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that He is with me, He’ll be with me to the end.” The chorus says, Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!”
We can trust Jesus because He is perfectly trustworthy; He is in complete control; and He loves us with an everlasting love. He has never failed us nor will He ever fail us. Trusting Jesus is a lifelong lesson we learn and grow in.
Have a blessed day trusting Jesus. Stay safe and healthy.
Pastor Jaime Cranston said, “We don’t need more from Jesus, we need more of Jesus.”
