One question faces each person: “Will I trust God today?” ~ Jo Helen Cox, God Makes Us Holy

Trust. A firm belief in reliability, truth,
ability or strength. Acceptance of truth
without evidence or responsibility.
How do you trust what you haven’t seen,
don’t know, can’t examine?
If you don’t trust people, the weather,
your family, anything or anyone…except your dog…
if you don’t even trust yourself, how can you,
how do you trust God?

You think about the promise the burden is light,
the yoke… the connecting link…is easy.
You think about a God from whom you can’t be separated
by death, life, angels, principalities (whatever that is),
height, depth, power…anything! You gather a whole bouquet
of promises. And if worse comes to worse…
you act as if you trust him and it becomes true
if you do it often enough, long enough.
You don’t have to commit for a lifetime.
Act on it today. And if that’s too long,
then act like you trust your God right now
and leave everything else for now.
