Trust over Blame

Trust - Word of the Year for 2023. 

So far this year, I know people fighting cancer, a friend that moved without her house selling first, our son starting a business with a friend, my mom in the hospital, new jobs, the unknown and TRUST! 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Trust 

Blame 


Trust says I don’t know what’s going to happen but I know and rely on the one who does. 


Blame says it’s not going as planned and it’s all God’s fault. I trusted Him and it didn’t work out.


If we trust COMPLETELY that means we must choose not to depend on our understanding.


“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬


We can’t depend on ourself and on God. 


We than have to continue in the trust cycle by seeking. As we seek his will in all we do (depending on God) - He will show us the path to take.
