Trust and Obey

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way! While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey. Refrain: Trust and obey, for there’s no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies, But His smile quickly drives it away; Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, But our toil He doth richly repay; Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, But is blessed if we trust and obey. But we never can prove the delights of His love Until all on the altar we lay; For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows, Are for them who will trust and obey. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet, Or we’ll walk by His side in the way; What He says we will do, where He sends we will go; Never fear, only trust and obey.

 

 

This has been the tune of my life lately. So many things lay ahead that seem impossible that all I can do is trust and obey. My heart continually asks "God, why?" He always gently says "Just trust me child. You don't need to know everything. I have more planned for you than you could ever imagine! Just, Trust!"

     Each day I wake up and I go out to feed the animals and take care of them. I fulfill my duties as Barn Manager and Head Wrangler for the day. Ride the horses, clean, if given the chance I have a girl come and ride. But at the end of the day I question what my purpose is here. I have begun to love the teens at Young Life on Tuesedays. And I am beginning to feel at home with the Young Adults that I work with. Yet I still feel a void that I cannot seem to fill. Daily I ask God to show me what to do and how to do it.

    I do not apologize for this not so happy post because this is where I'm truly at. I don't want to put on a face that all is well because it's isn't always a bed of roses. Thank fully we have a God that we can trust and obey for He DOES know what's going on.

     Thank you all for your continued prayers. I appreciate them all so very much.
