A short Story about Trust

“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:4KJV)

A story…

A distressed believer once said to a Christian counselor,

“It’s hard for me to trust God when everything looks dark.”

The man replied, “Well, brother, if you can’t trust someone when he’s out of your sight, he isn’t worth much. So, too, if you can’t trust God in the dark, you really don’t consider Him trustworthy.”

Then pointing to a baby chick that had just taken refuge beneath a large hen, he added, “See that little chick hiding under the wing of its mother? As long as it’s there, it can’t see anything, but it’s still protected and secure.”

Opening his Bible to Psalm 91, the counselor continued,

“Notice it doesn’t say ‘under His wings shalt thou see’, but ‘under His wings shalt thou trust.’”

A Story that remind me of…

A poet by unknown;

Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,

Trust Him when thy strength is small,

Trust Him when to simply trust Him

seems the hardest thing of all.

Trust Him, He is ever faithful,

Trust Him, for His will is best,

Trust Him, for the heart of Jesus

is the only place or rest.

A Story summary…

THINK BIG Think the promise of God. START SMALL Start put things in God’s hands; place your trust under His wings. GO DEEP Go to the place of rest – the only place, the heart of Jesus.
