I TRUST IN YOU

Matthew 10:30-31

Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

As a child, whenever I have a fever, my mother would take me to our family doctor. Once we arrive, I would feel some fear as I would smell the scent of mixture of medicines, alcohols – “amoy-ospital” (hospital scent). After checking me up, she would say the words I dreaded most, “have to inject him with antibiotic.” She would go to a small room to arrange everything. And once she goes out, she has with her this injection. All I can do is to hug my mother to get some relief, some protection from the “menacing” injection. I would feel the prick, and then it is finished. My fever would be gone after a day or two, and I am ready again to play with my friends.

Problems in our lives would come and go. But if we try to dodge every problems that come our way, then it will surely hunt you down repeatedly in the future. All we need to do is seek Him and pray. Let Him hug you and carry you in His arms as the “storm” passes by. You will feel a little pain, but then, it would be gone in a little while.

Trusting in God banishes fear. He knows the count of the number of our hairs. Imagine, as trivial as this, He knows! What more of those vital things in our lives. Jesus wants to get across the idea that it doesn’t matter what is happening in your life, God has an intimate knowledge of every detail. It may be that you are suffering in silence, or that your friends and family do not appreciate the depth of your anguish and pain, however, in the end God knows everything. He knows in detail everything!

God does not want us to be afraid of anything but to have confidence in him. If you acknowledge him as the source of all goodness, he will acknowledge you, when you appear before him for judgment. Like a father who will do anything to protect his child, God watches over us.

Almighty Father, You are my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? You are the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. My heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. Amen +

Trust in the Lord. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the Lord.
