Finding Strength in Trust

“The Lord strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued and my heart is full of joy.  I will sing to him in gratitude.” Psalm 28:7 New English Translation

Eagles are stunning and majestic birds that God created. Their wingspan can get up to seven and half feet, and they can glide at altitudes of ten thousand feet for hours. The wind can carry them for miles, so they save energy and can soar for long distances. Likewise, friends, when we trust in the Lord, we are like that eagle, who is carried both far and wide, and no matter where we may be on our journey, we have a God who cares about us.

The mere act of CHOOSING to trust in God is COURAGEOUS. It is often called a leap of faith. Trust him with your goals, plans, family, children, business, and everything else in your life. Trust him when you can’t make heads or tails of which way to go. No, we don’t always have the answer, but keep looking to the hills, that is where all your help comes from. It comes from the Lord. He knows the way.

Here are a few ways to grow in our faith:

  1. Make small changes
  2. You must be willing to Step out of your comfort zone
  3. You gotta read God’s Word, that’s real soulfood
  4. Connect to other positive, inspiring and encouraging believers.
  5. Pray about everything.

“Lord, I do trust in you. And I rest in that trust now, knowing that your strength lifts me up and sustains me to complete all that you have given these hands of mind to do today. AMEN.”

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

Together with kindness and in understanding, let’s take this time to self reflect.  I am here to inspire, encourage, and remind you that God has given us the most important weapon we have to fight the enemy, his Word.

Now let’s dress our soul like we dress our bodies, EVERYDAY!!

Trusting Our Children To God

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

I tell you, it’s nothing like Gods timing in all matters. I read a very interesting article about parents letting go of their adult children. It got me thinking about my 23 year old daughter who is embarking on her own new journey.  As I continued reading the article, I thought about how the last two decades was in preparation for her new beginning. The wait is over because it’s her time now.

As we trust our children to God we do so in faith.  Nothing seems to test our faith more than when we as parents let go. Letting go means we are giving them over to our Heavenly Father who will continue to guide them according to his will. Age was nothing but a number to my grandmother when it came to loving and supporting her 8 children. Just like the Lord gives us our children as gifts, we eventually have to give them back in his loving care. They are doing what we did at their age. Spread their wings and fly.

What is our new role as our children become adults?

Love is always a part of how we do things, it never fails! Pray with and for them concerning EVERYTHING. Encourage and support their goals and plans. When they need us, be more than just a checkbook, be present through text messages and calls. Respect their right to choose how they will handle decisions regarding their household. And finally plan a visit. It’s nothing like breaking bread together.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV

Remember we are each others keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
