My God, I acknowledge that Your thoughts are not my thoughts, neither are Your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways higher than my ways and Your thoughts than my thoughts. (Isa. 55:8—9)

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:7—8 (NIV)

Of this I'm certain: If in our pursuit of greater knowledge God seems to have gotten smaller, we have been deceived.

Anytime you are overwhelmed by what you do not know or understand about God, consider what you do know about Him. Your heart and mind will be quieted, and you will be able to walk in faith.

Who among you walks in darkness, and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord; let him lean on his God. Isaiah 50:10

Then take me prisoner to Your will Enslaved in Your safekeeping.

We can believe in Christ, accepting the truth that He is the Son of God, and we can believe on Christ, receiving eternal salvation, yet fail to stand firm in belief and choose to find Him trustworthy day to day.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, / for I have put my trust in you. / Show me the way I should go, / for to you I lift up my soul.

The level of trust we have for God is a monumental issue in the life of every believer. Many variables in our lives affect our willingness to trust God. A loss or betrayal can deeply mark our level of trust. A broken heart never mended handicaps us terribly when we're challenged to trust. Trusting an invisible God doesn't come naturally to any believer. A trust relationship grows only by stepping out in faith and making the choice to trust.

Faithfulness in our Christian walk requires order, some black-and-white fundamentals, but within that order is glorious room for color and creativity.

Unfortunately, human hearts seem remarkably resistant to wisdom.

Misunderstandings can often result as we exercise enough faith to do what we're convinced is God's will.
