‘Trust’ My August Word

Recent changes in my life have encouraged my trusting in the Lord and not in myself. Proverbs 3:5 says: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

I remember often saying, “You can trust me!” to my family and friends. I wanted to be known as a trustworthy person and worked hard to instill that quality in our children.

The last month has seen me put my home of 24 years on the market and purchase a much smaller condo in town. There were days when I didn’t trust my decisions. Recently, I went for a walk in a local garden to think and rest. I found a bench to sit on and when I looked around, I saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue with the words of Proverb 3:5.

As I meditated on those words, I realized I had not been putting my trust in the right place. A peace came over me as I looked to my Lord, and I knew once again how especially important trusting totally in the Lord is. I prayed. I cried. I rejoiced that I was given these powerful words of the Lord for this time in my life.

Are you looking for a trustworthy friend? Turn to the Lord and cherish that He has everything under control and is your trusted friend.

I encourage you to read or listen to the Mustard Seed Daily Devotion: “A Heart Full of Trust.”
