The more I seek You, the more I find You. So simple, but yet profound. Those words mean more to me than just another line in a song. They are true, and they always will be. The deeper I dig into my precious Bible, the clearer my glimpse of hope becomes. The amazing things is, no matter how deep I dig, I will never uncover all of the treasures he has for me. There is always something new waiting, and it never fails to be refreshing. There will never be a time when I seek Him and do not find Him. You see, that is how I know when I am searching for the right thing; He is the only one that will always be found. Other things in life will fade away, but He won't.
When people refer to trusting in God, it always seems like such a cliche thing. I honestly don't think many people even know the true meaning of trust. If I trust in something, I place more confidence in that thing than I place in myself. If I am trusting a parachute to carry me safely to the ground when I jump out of a plane, I am acknowledging that there is nothing I can do if it fails. For some reason, when it comes to trusting God, the term carries a much different and lighter meaning. It all of a sudden becomes okay for a person to allow God to have one hand on the reigns while he or she still holds tightly to the other. With every turn or stop in the road, one is left yelling, "What are you doing God?! We aren't supposed to stop yet! This isn't the way I had planned!" How easily forgotten is the fact that He wrote the plan...all of the plans, including the one for your life. How foolish we should feel when we try to tell Him directions to a place where only He has been. Today and always, He is the author of the plans for my life, and He will be the one to read them to me. It is time I learn the real meaning of trust.
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is You who knows my way. Psalm 142:3
