Trust

Micah and I are amazed with our girls as we watch them learn and discover their world daily. We are also amazed by their always growing appetites! Whenever they give the cue that they are hungry, we stop what we're doing to get their bottles ready. But by the way they cry you would think that they have been waiting and wailing all day! In a calm voice I remind them I'm working as fast as I can, that I know their needs and I need them to trust me.
Trust. The Webster's dictionary defines trust this way: "Assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something."

One day this hit me like a ton of bricks - how often have I truly trusted my heavenly father? How many times have I cried for Him to take care of my needs and then panicked instead of showing reliance on His character, ability and strength to provide for me. If only I would exercise trust then maybe, just maybe I could spare myself some un-needed, unwarranted stress.

Isaiah 26:3 is a new favorite scripture of mine, it says; "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You."

My prayer for you is that as we approach the holidays, a time of year known to be rather stressful, I  hope that you know his "perfect peace" as you trust in Him.
