I can trust, or I can worry, but I can't do both. I'm either "all in" and sold out to one or the other, but I can't do both at the same time. Trusting in God emphatically requires leaving my worries behind.
So many times God has told us that trusting is way better than worrying! For Type A personalities, God poses a great question that requires no thought as a rhetorical Q. I love it; in Matthew 6:27, Jesus asked, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life"? We already know that worry causes stress, and stress subtracts hours from our lives. Once we choose to leave our worries behind and to trust in God, we begin to experience peace of mind and heart. Trust adds, stress subtracts.
His plan for our future is best. You can trust in the promise from Jeremiah "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." To those who have claimed that verse was specific only to the children of Israel at that point of time, is like saying that the book of Romans was only to the Romans...Rather, God's Promises are Safe & Secure! GPSS!
Like me, you may be a place in your life where you need to make a choice. Whether it is an easy or difficult choice, you have to decide whether you will trust God and have faith in him, or let your worries dictate your decision.
I choose to trust Him.
