Week 8 Challenge Word:
Trust
Think of how Jochebed (Moses’ mother) had to completely trust God as she put Moses in the papyrus basket in the Nile. Read more about it in Exodus 2:1-10. Wow, do you or I trust Him that much? How about our children that want to go off to foreign countries to be missionaries? Do we trust Him that much to let them go to do His work? Do we have doubts? Of course we are scared. Of course we have doubts. It’s our human nature. Well thankfully, our great and awesome God is worthy of our complete trust! We need to let go, and let God! Turn to Him.Trust Him as your ever-present guide for today and everyday. You can pray daily that He increase your trust in Him. Read His Word. We can trust it! The Bible is His revelation to us so we can know Him!
As I studied this week, I came across this wonderful devotional in my Bible. It was an amazing devotion, and I thought I would share it with you. I not only love this hymn but I now have a new understanding and love for ’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus'.
The devotion reads:“In the late 1800’s, Mrs. Louisa M.R. Stead watched as her husband died while trying to save a drowning boy. This familiar hymn was written as a response to her struggle with the ‘why?’ questions she asked God during that difficult time.
‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus,Just to take Him at His word,Just to rest upon His promise,Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.
”I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;And I know that Thou art with me,Wilt be with me to the end.
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!O for grace to trust Him more!--Louisa M.R. Stead
What an amazing trust. Learn to trust Him. Take Him at His word. He was there for you yesterday, He is there for you today, and He will be there for you tomorrow.
