"Trust Jesus"

It's too easy to say we trust in Jesus and turn to fretting, worrying and anxiety. I received a phone call early this morning from a dear brother in Christ and he was expressing that for some reason, he was very sad. He is going through a difficult time in his marriage. As he spoke, he revealed that he was uncertain and fearful about his future. Right there, that was what was causing his journey down the road to his fretting.

Trust Jesus! Trust and obey! Just because we feel anxious or down-trodden does not change one promise He makes. Trust Jesus! Just because our emotions sometimes takes a journey does not change one bit the relationship and faith building the Lord is trying to work in us. Does God not cause all to work for good if we love Him and walk with Him? Trust Jesus! When Jesus walked this earth, He was committed to the work of His Father. He has been through every element we will ever encounter and knows the strength it takes to arrive at the Father. Jesus will make absolutely certain we too make it to the Father (Heb. 4:16).

Trust Jesus! When Jesus spoke to disciples that if they have seen Him, they have seen the Father (John 14:9). Those weren't just empty words but an assurance for His disciples and for us. Trust Jesus! If we were to ask someone to teach us every aspect of music, who would you select to be your teacher? Bach? Beethoven? If you wanted to know every aspect of a job, who would you want to train you and give you the real insight? Someone on the top that knew all the ropes? If we want to learn about God, our heavenly Father, where are you going to learn about Him? You can hear Jesus speak, "I'll teach you everything about the Father because He and I are one." Trust Jesus!
