Trust

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. (Psalm 37:5 ESV)

The fight is so often to believe this fully and truly. When we don't see God acting, we think to ourselves that He doesn't care, isn't listening, cannot help, will not help.

But we see so very little, and our wisdom is so very small.

A quote from John Piper comes to mind: "God is always doing a thousand different things that you cannot see and you do not know." Like the buttercups in my front flowerbed which hide all winter and yet bloom faithfully each spring, the fact that I see nothing happening is not a true reflection of what is happening. God is at work ever and always, and it is for His good purposes.
