I Will Trust You Lord

I Will Trust You Lord

Verse 1

Its funny how we do it, the plans for our lives

We plan for success and try to pass the pain right by

But it just doesn't work that way, God has a different plan

He works in ways we never see, beyond the scope of man

Chorus

When the journey takes a detour unexpectedly

And I try to accept and understand what it all means

When I'm pressed to show the world, what I really believe

I will trust you Lord

When my heart begins to faint, because I've seen my life's afraid

And my soul cries out, Oh Lord how long can I keep this at bay

In the fiercest part of battle when my feet don't want to stay

I will trust you Lord, with my life

Verse 2

I may not understand it, and even question why

What good will ever come from this? Has even crossed my mind

But God's teaching me to trust Him more, as He works His will in me

I rest securely in His care, and surrender sure is sweet

This song has meant alot to me here lately. Many times in our Christian lives we do not always understand why the Lord sends difficult circumstances into our lives, or why the Lord takes things that are special to us away. We plan for our lives to be just perfect and often are disappointed when something enters or leaves our lives that disrupts our vision of how things are suppose to go. We often question the Lord, and become a little bit aggravated at Him for messing our lives up. But He knows what is best for us, even when we ourselves do not understand. He sends a trial into our lives, and the first thing that we do is begin to tell Him that He is messing things up, and we grow angry, and our fellowship with Him becomes strained. Instead we should just ask the Lord to help us get through it, for His glory and our good. Also, we do not always understand why the Lord withholds things from us, that we have prayed for and longed for, for a long time. We envision our lives a certain way, and we pray that the Lord will make it that way in our time. We do not want to have to wait on His timing, we want it now and do not want to wait for it. But the Lord has a vision for our lives also, and His vision is far better than we could ever have imagined for ourselves. Our lives are not our own, we belong to the Lord. We think only about what will benefit ourselves, but the Lord wants to use us for His glory. Each one of us is used everyday by our Lord to influence those around us, whether we influence for good or evil is entirely up to how we handle what the Lord sends our way. God can use our trials to influence others. Through our trials others can see the Lord doing a great work through us. If we lean on Him when we do not understand then He can give us strength to get through anything. He is making us more like Himself when He sends trials into our lives, and if we withstand the testing then our pot that He is molding will become more beautiful and precious to the Potter. Just trust the Lord for He knows what is best. We will have joy and peace if we leave our lives in the Master's hands to do with as He sees fit. Read the song again, and think about what you are reading more closely.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6
