Trusting God is easy when everything is going well, but let your world come crashing down and the enemy will tempt you to rail at God. When my grandson was just a little guy he was always crashing into things and hurting himself. But instead of running to us for comfort, he would run away. And if we tried to comfort him, he would strike out at us screaming, “Don’t touch me!” Let life deal you a crushing blow and You can respond like my grandson, or you can respond like Jesus did in Gethsemane. You can push God away or you can cling to Him, putting your trust in Him and Him alone.

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”

— Job 13:15 (NKJV)

Lord, help us to trust You even when we can’t understand Your ways. Amen.
