Trusting Jesus

Last week we did trust walks which can for some of us prove to be very challenging. When we are asked to put on a blind fold and listen to the directions of another person we did not choose trusting that they will guide us carefully, keeping us from harm can be difficult. Then when we took the aspect of talking away the challenge increased. The level of concern definately rose when you heard running water and weren't certain what was being done, would I be pouring water over your head, running your hand under water or making you take a drink probably all crossed your minds. It was definately amusing to watch you try and drink the water which for some was very difficult! In the end you all did well and said that trusting your guide was not difficult.
Often our relationship with Jesus is this way. We make choices knowing that he is guiding us but also knowing that we are very uncertain and trusting what we believe Jesus wants us to do. Prayer and Bible study help us in this endeavor but stil there are times when we question what is going on because we do not see the path that Jesus is seeing clearly. At these times we need to trust through faith that God will continue to keep his promise to take care of us even when we doubt him. My prayer for you is that as you make decisions and face difficult times that you would seek God and his will for you.
