Trusting the Lord!

Trusting the Lord!
What people, places, or things are you putting your trust in today? I often hear people say, "I'll figure it out," when unsure what to do next or where to place their trust. God never asks us to figure it all out on our own. God asks us to put our trust in Him and recognize His Sovereignty in our lives, and He will make our paths straight. To trust is (to be confident, bold, and secure) in the Lord. He also says we can lean into Him for understanding (wisdom or discernment), and He will make our paths straight (pleasing and true). That is a remarkable promise! 
Friends, this is the foundational life verse for every path and uncertainty we will face in our lives! We may not always see what's ahead, but God does, and there's tremendous power in trusting Him alone. It clears the way for our security to be based solely on Him, not on our circumstances, not on others, and not on ourselves or our way of thinking. God is faithful, and He sees the big picture. He knows what's around the bend in the road that we can't see. His timing is perfect, even when we feel like we've been forgotten. No matter how we feel or what the situation may be, we can be confident that God's presence goes before us, straightening the path while guiding and guarding each step. Trust in the Lord; He has promised to lead us and never leave or forsake us!
Onward and Upward+
