Trusting

Sometimes life just doesn't seem to make any sense.  Things happen that you don't understand and for that matter many things happen that you don't even like.  You are left wondering "Why did this happen"?  If you are not careful then you can start blaming God for these events...you get angry at Him and turn away from His help.  I know someone like this, actually now that I think about it, I know several people like this.  They so need God's comfort and help, but they just don't trust him enough to let him get close to them.  I don't understand many things that have happened in my life, but I do know that Proverbs 3:5 & 6 are real and true and important to live by.  I have had my fair share of trials, and I know that there will be more to come.  We live on earth, not in heaven...yet. I have learned to trust in the Lord, lean on His understanding, and acknowledge him as he directs my paths.  Sometimes the pathway is smooth and easy and lined with fragrant blooms, and other times it winds down into valleys so deep that you can't seem to notice any beauty and you feel so alone.  Yet, I know that He will never leave me or forsake me...and I will cling to that knowlegde as I prepare for the days ahead.
