Wickedness and Trust



The title of my devotion today from Dennis Kinlaw's "This Day with the Master"

Question: is there any place in your life that "worries" you? Any place of confusion or anxiety?

Whether you know immediately or you are not sure, if there is Kinlaw reminds us, "The opposite of trust is not simply anxiety; it is wickedness."

My next breath breathes...

Lord, Search me, know me, see if there is any wickedness in me.

Pray through the different translations of these verses found in Psalm 139:23-24, then trust Him that He will, we can start there.



God is Faithful and Just (1John 1:9)...you can trust Him.

Grasshopper @ RMH



A few days ago I saw a grasshopper jumping down the hall on the third floor of the hospital. He reminded me that to say that I am where I am in my journey called life because of me would be as silly as the grasshopper taking credit for making his way to the third floor. While I do not know the plans for that grasshopper, My God plans include hope, a future, and good for me. In light of my understanding and His ...well to not trust Him as I hop along would just be plain silly.

Isaiah 40:22
22 God is enthroned above the earth,
    and those who live on it are like grasshoppers.
    He stretches out the sky like a canopy
    and spreads it out like a tent to live in.
