Trust!

Psalm 9: 10
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

We’ve been praying for a young Pastor in the area who has terminal cancer, and he’s not expected to live very much longer.
In two weeks, he was supposed to have walked his daughter down the aisle for her wedding.

These are the kind of paradoxes that have entered this families world.
I’m quite sure the lady who is about to lose her husband, and marry off her daughter, has many mixed emotions.
Not quite severe enough though, to ever question her own vows she made at her own wedding—or even question the motives of her God.

In the future she’ll no doubt cry herself to sleep, many a night.
But when times get the darkest, I’ll be willing to bet she won’t need any answers necessarily, but she’ll need God.

That’s a faith statement my friends.
People who walk solely by feelings, can’t have that kind of faith I’m afraid.

These kinds of faith people trust God whole heartedly to handle the challenges that He sometimes allow in our lives.
Faith like this brings comfort and peace, even in the midst of the storms of everyday life.

Just be sure of this…when life doesn’t seem fair—God is still there!

When life is hard, ask God to help you remember that life is short—but that life with Him in His presence, goes on forever and ever…
