To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You. Psalm 25:1-2
Our oldest son, Elliott, has followed in the steps of my dorkiness by embracing the realm of pretty much any and every 80s based cartoon, toy, and movie that I loved growing up: super-heroes, Star-Wars, Transformers, GI Joe, Voltron, etc. Regardless of my extensive knowledge about the various characters and story lines that I have enjoyed since my youth, Elliott sometimes questions me because he hears something different from one of his buddies at school. Keep in mind, we are talking about four and five year-olds here....

We are all called by God to trust Him alone to meet our needs. God's only requirement is that in addition to trusting Him fully and completely, we are also to obey Him. We are foolish to ever think that our ways are better than the Good Lord's and I can't possibly recall the many times in my life where I listened to myself and failed to be obedient.
We must trust completely that He is good and His timing is always right and that things will be done according to His will. It's when we fail to trust Him and do it our way that things fall apart.
