The Power of Trust...

One day, while my son Zac and I were out in the country, climbing around in some cliffs, I heard a voice from above me yell, "Hey Dad! Catch me!" I turned around to see Zac joyfully jumping off a rock straight at me. He had jumped and them yelled "Hey Dad!" I became an instant circus act, catching him. We both fell to the ground. For a moment after I caught him I could hardly talk.

When I found my voice again I gasped in exasperation: "Zac! Can you give me one good reason why you did that???"

He responded with remarkable calmness: "Sure...because you're my Dad." His whole assurance was based in the fact that his father was trustworthy. He could live life to the hilt because I could be trusted. Isn't this even more true for a Christian?

David said, 1Samuel 17:37, "The Lord who delievered me from the paw of the lion... He will deliever me from the hand of this Philistine".

We may be tempted to trust in our own strength, but it is always safer and more effective to trust in the Lord. God may never ask of you to place your life into the hands of another, but know that your Heavenly 'Dad'; He is always there to "Catch You".

Psalm 20:8-9, "Some trust in chariots, some in horses, but I will remember the name of the Lord my God".

You can place your life, family health, finances, etc... into the hands of God and trust Him with it all. He will keep you from falling into the grip of our enemy.
