Today... I TRUST

"In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. 5 They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed. 6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people. 7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads: 8"He trusts in the Lord; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him." 9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. 10 From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God." - Psalms 22: 4-10

My Pastor said, “Partial obedience is disobedience.” To trust in the Lord is to have faith in Him. The bible says w/o faith it is impossible to please God. We often quote these scriptures and never allow a self evaluation to take place.

Today, my mirror had a reflection of a disobedient daughter of Christ.

My outcome of trust has led me to hurt, pain, and open wounds…creating a wall of separation from everyone to some degree, what I call a “safety net”! If I can control it... I can trust it. Unfortunately, this “safety net” has hindered me from growing and receiving the full blessings of God in many areas of life.

Today, I read this scripture and received great revelation. I am designed and created to trust in the Lord… Not in things, people, or circumstances. God has given me and you a natural innate to TRUST in HIM....since birth.V 9 "Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast."

I created the wall of separation called distrust, my “safety net”; Why? I put my trust in the wrong things, wondering why I kept hitting a road block full of hurt. My distrust disabled my walk in Christ... not the enemy. I came to a realization that IT IS OK to TRUST GOD in EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE because He will not fail me, He will not fail YOU!!! V.5”… in you they trusted and were not disappointed.”

Today, I begin piece by piece…. stronghold by stronghold, breaking down the wall of distrust. Today, I laid ERRthang @ the feet of Jesus and left it @ the altar. Understanding God knows everything and it is up to ME to TRUST HIM to heal and deliver what is behind the wall. It is up to ME to TRUST that He genuinely loves me, wants the best for me, and He sees Himself in me behind my flaws, V.8"He trusts in the Lord; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him."

Today, you must realize as I did, God is able to see you through IF you trust in HIM! There is definitely no gray area in the statement, "I trust God." You either honestly trust Him in every area of your life or stumble in your walk because you only trust Him w/ some areas of your life which equals to distrust altogerther!

Today, can you honestly say you trust the Lord in every single area of your life? Do you trust Him w/ your family, friends, future, and finances. Do you trust Him? What do you see in your reflection?
