CAN I TRUST YOU?

You sat in the darkness with void all around but the darkness did not phase You. With one sentence everything changed—light burst forth from Your mouth and pierced the darkness. The beginning of creation began. So, why is there this lingering question in my mind…

Can I trust You?

The stars hang in the sky far above at Your command and their names are not hidden from You. They twinkle; they dazzle, and create a joyful dance for Your glory alone. At the sound of Your voice they remain steady or die in Your presence being no more. So, why do I doubt You in this life and wonder…

Can I trust You?

The endless stars above that are close to You and the grains of sand beneath the crashing waves far below You, are representations of the children You called forth through one man. All would be blessed through Your hands and that is a promise well kept. It doesn’t make any since that I question Your integrity and think to myself…

Can I trust You?

“The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” You are aware of the number of hairs on my head even if one falls out. You know the sum of all of my tears and put them in a bottle. You know the amount of my days and even though they are fleeting You are with me any way. I know these truths and I hate when the question makes its way into my mind…

Can I trust You?

I came to this earth with nothing and I will leave with nothing. I do not know why this truth surprises me and creates anger within me, because I know it to be true. I did not bring myself here to this earth and I will not take myself home. Why oh why, do I hold so tight to things that weren’t even mine in the first place and wonder…

Can I trust You?

Why does this question, this doubt rise so often within me when I face situations in this vapor of a life? Why do I constantly run to other things to put my trust in, that will exist no more once Your Son comes back to fight for His Bride? God, You have always been, You are, and forever You will be. You’re the only One I can trust through it all. I will do my best to set aside this dreadful question…

Can I trust You?

…And replace it with…

HOW CAN I NOT TRUST YOU?
