Sarah Young wrote a book: Jesus Calling. It's a kind of devotional book, and it has really encouraged and challenged me. Saturday's reading started with these words: WAITING - TRUSTING - HOPING. Let me share some of the reading with you. It captured me. It's written as if God is speaking...
Waiting, Trusting and Hoping are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain. Trusting is the central strand because it is the response from my children that I desire the most. Waiting and hoping embellish the central strand and strengthen the chain that connects you to me. Waiting for Me to work, with your eyes on Me, is evidence that you really do trust Me.
She goes on to say:
If you mouth the words "I trust you" while anxiously trying to make things go your way, your words will ring hollow.
God, I pray my words WON'T ring hollow.
"To you O Lord, I lift my soul. O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame." (Ps. 25:1-2)
