TRUST
There are many things that I could thank Him for tonight, but I believe that what I am most thankful for this evening is a peace that surpasses all understanding. Perfect Peace. Many times my mind tried to wonder this week in areas that it should not. Worry and fret tried to move in, doubt and fear also but because this scripture kept coming into my mind (His word says that He would bring them to mind)they could not stay.
I was reminded over and over by His word to trust him. Oh how I love to give it all to him and lay it down at his feet knowing that He is able to handle anything. Why? His Word says that "with God, all things are possible".
No matter the situations that arise or how impossible things may look to our natural eyes, if we trust in the unseen hand, we can be sure He will work it out. His word says that with man it is impossible but with God ALL things are possible. He can do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or think. He knows what we have need of before we ever ask it. Look it up, it's in His Word. Now why can I feel so good just because it is in His Word? I trust Him, I trust His Word to be complete, 100% truth. No errors. There are no errors on God's part. Oh there have been plenty on mine but I really believe I can not go wrong if I just trust him.
Iris talked about trust. Without trusting in Him, we can not have this peace. The scripture says "because he trusteth in thee." I am reminded once again of an old Hymn, (words are written by Louisa M. R. Stead) :

"Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
And to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, “Thus says the Lord!”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end."
