TRUST ME!

I had an unusual experience at work last week. While I was working my mind was wandering in several different directions. Now that is not unusual. The theme of all the wanderings were not unusual either, the recent changes in our economy and how these were going to affect me and my family. Now in the past I have not been one to spend much time worrying about the future, but I have never experienced a time like we live in now. Some of my thoughts revolved around the dire picture of my Boilermaker work projections for the upcoming year. My plan is to work another 3 years and retire when I am 58. But if there is not any work my mind started thinking about my options and the possibility of maybe retiring now and look for work in another field. Then I heard two words in my mind that kept repeating themselves over and over. The words were TRUST ME, TRUST ME, TRUST ME. Now I have never heard God speak in an audible voice and this was not what happened here as I think back on it. I do think though that God was comuticating to me in my Spirit in a way to encourage me to do what I have done in the past and need to continue to do. That being to Trust Him in every phase of my life. I am God's and He has saved me from the wrath of hell and has promised me a home in heaven some day. But I also need to trust Him in my everyday living more than my back account or lack of it, more than my job or lack of it, or anything else I would tend to put my trust in over Almighty God. I do not know what tomorrow holds but I do know who holds tomorrow, and I am confident He will take care of me and my family today, tomorrow, next week , next year and throughout all eternity. I just need to TRUST HIM!!
