Trust Me

When I was a little boy,

my mum and dad took me to the seaside.

While some of my siblings ventured far out

into the waves,

I played on the sand.

Then my Dad asked me, 

''Can you swim?"

"Yes.''

"Why don't you're out there?''

"I'm... scared,'' I admitted.

"Don't worry," he said, "I'll take you out there."

"But it's too deep,'' I protested.

"Just hang on to me,'' he assured me. 

"Do you trust me?" He asked.

Then I took his hand and we began to walk further out into the sea.

When my feet couldn't touch the bottom anymore,

Dad held me up and reassured me.

"I've got you''. 

Then finally he said,

''Okay, let your feet down. You can stand here''.

I was afraid because I thought we were still in deep water,

but

I trusted him and happily discovered that I was standing on a sandbar.

Have you ever been in so much despair 

that you felt as if you were sinking in deep water?

The difficulties of life can be oppressive.

God doesn't pormise that we will escape 

the turbulent seas of life,

the hurricane of the sky,

nor the quakes that shakes our life,

BUT

He does promise,

''I will never leave you nor forsake you''

(Hebrew 13:5)

 We can trust our faithful God to be there

in all of our struggles.

''when you pass through waters, 

I will be with you; 

and through the rivers,

they shall not overflow you.''

(Isaiah 43:2)

**

God, give me the faith of a little child!

A faith that will look to Thee--

That never will falter and never fail,

But follow Thee trustingly.

Dear friends, before your burden overcomes you,

trust God to put His arms underneath you.

God bless you.
