Today is picture day, Easter pics no less. In preparation for our afternoon shoot, I coerced the girls into an earlier bath time. First, I washed my older daughter's hair before allowing the younger to join her in the bath tub largely due to the size of the actual tub. When I put the baby, who is almost 3 years old, into the water, she immediately without warning fell back into my arms. She didn't pause. She didn't proceed with caution. She let herself lie back into a tub of water with no fear of the depth of the water, the temperature, of whether or not I would be there to catch her. My baby girl fell carelessly back into my arms because she knew I would be there to catch her...that I would not by any means under any circumstance let her go under. Her body language portrayed only calm and trust. No panic, no fear, no question.
Hhmm...I thought. Why are we not that way with the Lord? He is more consistent than I. He is more reliable, more trustworthy. He certainly has more knowledge, more ability, more strength.
Jeremiah said, "blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him." When you trust, you don't meddle in matters that only God can settle. When you trust, you don't try to fix what you believe to be broken in your life or even the life of someone else. It is the knowledge that God's got it and He will not let you go under. He will not let you sink. For it is when you truly trust, that you are at rest, bathed in peace and that, my friend, is synonymous with blessed!
Psalm 143:8 "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life."
