I must admit right up front here that I am not perfectly comfortable with what I am about to say. God is stretching me…and that’s not usually comfortable, but it’s necessary. The topic God has been working on me this morning is the issue of trust.
Specifically, where is my trust?
Now, I know where my trust is supposed to be, but that’s not really the question. The question is where IS my trust? Here is the Scripture that’s rattling around my brain and spirit this morning:
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the Lord always,
for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
Isaiah 26:3-4, NLT
There is a lot of good stuff in these two short verses. Great promises such as: God will give us peace of mind when we trust in Him. Great reminders such as: Keep your thoughts fixed on God. Great truths such as: God is strong, He’s “the eternal Rock”.
But it’s what we read between the lines that has my attention this morning.
There is no Plan B!
“Trust in the Lord always.” That’s it.
Not, trust in the Lord and your 401K (like you would do that now anyway).
Not, trust in the Lord and your family and friends.
There is no Plan B…just trust in the Lord always. I don’t always do that. Sometimes I trust in me too.
And that’s when I get into all kinds of trouble. So no more Plan B for me…OK, I’m working on it!
