Written by Shirley Choat, who pens daily inspirational thoughts, and emails them to family and friends:
 
"Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him to help you do it and He will!
~~ Psalms 37:5
 
  Finding people to trust is difficult, if not impossible, in this world. Even new names that appear in your email. You question them and wonder how they got there. But finding new Christian friends is a blessing.
 
   But even best friends fail to keep your secrets, Spouses have affairs, children turn against parents and parents against children. Even a person pleading for help at our door may be a thief.
 
  It was no different in Bible times. Peter denied Christ; Judas betrayed Him. The believers feared the Jews. The disciples did not believe the women's message that Christ had risen from the dead and Thomas doubted.
 
  In this world there is only One whom we can trust without doubt and without reservation; only One who is always with us; only One who loved us enough to die on the cross for us. Yes, in Christ, our gracious God fulfilled His promise of a Savior from sin and death. Therefore we can be sure of Him and sure of eternal life through faith in Him.
 
**
 
  Trust and rest when all around thee puts thy faith to sorest test;
Let no fear or foe confound thee, wait for God and trust and rest.
  Trust and rest with heart abiding, like a birdling in its nest,
underneath His feathers hiding, fold thy wings and trust and rest.
 
**
 
PRAYER - "I will commit my way, O LORD, to You.
Amen."
