[Rev. Doc]

Trust

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Isn't it nice in a day and age when everything is so uncertain, to have a God who never fails. He is ever attentive to His children, watching over us, supplying our needs listening to our call.

A group of people were standing at a rickety old dock along a river's edge waiting for a big boat to pass. Suddenly a little boy came marching up and walked out on the dock with a red flag. As the steamboat came around the bend in the river the little boy started to wave the flag furiously. A skeptical man said to the boy, "Surely you don't expect a big boat to stop at this place for a little fellow like you?" The boy replied with confidence, "I most certainly do."

Suddenly the big boat slowed down and turned for the shore. As the little fellow walked up the gangplank to board the boat, he stopped, turned to the unbelieving man, and said, "I knew that boat would stop for me; the captain is my daddy."

Our Heavenly Father will never pass us by. God is so faithful.

Prayer: Ask God to help you to be continually trusting in His leading for your life.

"Trust in yourself and you are doomed to disappointment;....but trust in GOD, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity."
~Dwight L. Moody
