How many of us can confidently say we abide by this? I know I try, but if I’m honest with you and myself, when problems hit, God is not always the FIRST place I go. Fear…anxiety…doubt…self pity. All of these have at one time or another crowded God out, and it wasn’t until I was miserable that I cried out to God. It wasn’t until I got to a point of sheer desperation that I asked God to save me. It wasn’t until he stripped everything away and left me with no other option that I trusted him.
What will it take, for me to consciously go to God with EACH DAY’S problems, and wait confidently for his answer? What will it take for me to rest EACH DAY, knowing that the day is in his hands? The Lord says,
“Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
When will I listen and accept the rest he offers? When will I be so yoked up with him that my load feels light and I step confidently out into the unknown?
When??????
How about today? What better time will there be to put my faith to work and believe in the power of God and in his provision for my life. There’s no better day than today. :o)

Wow...Col 2 was my devotion today. Matt and I talked a long time about what it was like to have your roots grow deep into Christ. I told Matt I see it as clinging to God and seeking nourishment from Him. If we have healthy soil to cling to then we will produce beautiful fruit! :) So beautiful! :)
