The people of Israel wandered in the wilderness when they could have possessed the Promised Land simply because of their bitter doubts. See Deuteronomy 1:27-33, where Moses recounts the heart-struggles of God's people.
That's why I pray for your HEART -- and mine! I pray that the Lord will help us to fully trust his good intentions today, and that our trust will work itself out in our walk.
I love this definition of trust: "to put our full weight on," like sitting on a chair. May the Lord help us to trust him the way we trust that we can plop down on a favorite chair, knowing it will hold us. May we trust God the way we trust that the light will turn on when we flip the switch.
May the Lord work in your heart and mine, to give us grace to trust in his good intentions for us today:
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will
make straight your paths. - Prov. 3:5-6
