In theory, trusting God should be so easy. I mean, think about it. God is the creator of the universe. He is sovereign - His will is going to ultimately be accomplished. He will work everything out for the ultimate good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes. He loves us and has a plan for us that will further His Kingdom and bring Him glory. He calls us to cast our cares on Him and not to worry. It sounds like a pretty good deal. I mean, why should I worry about relationship stuff or where I'm going to live or what job I'm going to have? God's in control and He's gonna make things happen in His timing. And ultimately, this life is about Him and His glory - not me and my happiness.
End of story. So I trust, God works it out. I go where He takes me, and know that in the end, everything is gonna work out just fine. My job is to be faithful (to follow His commandments and where He is leading me) and to love others (with the same love that Christ has lavished upon me). Sounds simple. Am I just making it all more complicated than it needs to be? I think maybe I am. I think maybe I'm just afraid of looking foolish if I trust God with abandon. I mean, what would other people think if I wasn't worried about all that stuff? They'd think I was lazy and a fool. So maybe it's time I learn how to be a fool for Jesus. Maybe it is just that easy.
