Trust

In preparing for today's message I came across this poem/song. I know that 'trust' is something we all struggle with, often wishing we were able to trust more in people and in God.

“Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,

Trust Him when thy strength is small,

Trust Him when to simply trust Him

Seems the hardest thing of all.

Trust Him, He is ever faithful,

Trust Him, for his will is best,

Trust Him, for the heart of Jesus

Is the only place of rest.” - Source Unknown.

I guess the wonder of Trust is that it usually works best when we realise that our options are few - if you like, we find ourselves humbled by our circumstances, and so we can't do it all alone. Putting our trust in God and others is a humbling experience, but it can be so liberating. 

Today marks the first day of Advent and I pray that we may learn to trust in God this Advent season. The arrival of our Saviour reminds us that God can be trusted in all things. God fulfilled his promise to bring Hope, Light and Love into our world.

"For God so loved the world that he gave us his only Son, that whoever believes in Him would not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Living in Grace
