Resting in Promises

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I've proved him o'er and o'er;
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
 
I've had this song in my heart and mind today.
It's just what I needed.
 A reminder that putting my trust in my Creator,
my Savior, my Sustainer
will bring me back to a place where all is well with my soul.

Life can get crazy...
bleak, even, sometimes.
All the planning,
catching up, preparing ahead, 
remembering,
healing, 
strengthening,
and 
hurting...
is often more than
I want to take on.

That's why I HAVE to let Him have it
and just carry me...
trusting in Him
and 
once again believing in His promises...
 
...just to take Him
at His word.
