Day 31 - Do I Trust You, Lord?

There is a song by Twila Paris called "Do I Trust You, Lord?" Here is a sample of the lyrics (from: http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/twila_paris/do_i_trust_you_lord-lyrics-214132.html)




Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the robin sing?
Do I trust You, Lord?
Does it rain in spring?
You can see my heart,
You can read my mind,
And You got to know
That I would rather die
Than to lose my faith
In the One I love.
Do I trust You, Lord?
Do I trust You?

I will trust You, Lord, when I don't know why.
I will trust You, Lord, till the day I die.
I will trust You, Lord, when I'm blind with pain!
You were God before, and You'll never change.
I will trust You.
I will trust You.
I will trust You, Lord.
I will trust You.



I must admit that I was struggling with trusting the Lord at the time I first heard this song. All of the answers to the questions between "Do I trust You, Lord?" are yes and amen. Yes, the robin DOES sing. Yes, it DOES rain in spring....but "Do I trust You, Lord?" is a question I cannot always answer in the affirmative.

God's Word give us constant reminders of our need to trust Him.



Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.In all your ways acknowledge Him And He will make your paths straight.

2 Chronicles 13:18Thus the sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the sons of Judah conquered because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their fathers.

Psalm 9:10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Psalm 28:7The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.

Proverbs 16:20He who gives attention to the Word will find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD

Isaiah 26:4Trust in the LORD forever, For in GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock.

Jeremiah 39:18For I will certainly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own life as a prize, because you have trusted in Me,” declares the LORD.’”


2 Kings 18:5-6
 He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel; so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him. For he clung to the Lord; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.


We serve a trustworthy God! Lord, help my unbelief. My heart believes that Your Word is true, yet at times I fail to trust You. In my humanness, I allow my past experiences to dictate my level of trust toward You and others. Break down that wall, Lord...I give You permission to do so. I want to have the utmost level of trust in You. I will not allow doubt to creep in and rear its ugly head. 


I TRUST You, Lord
Pamela
