WILL YOU EVER LEARN

“Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”

Psalms 37:5 KJV

Edgar Page Stites who was a home missionary wrote one of my favorite hymns “Trusting Jesus”.  I love these inspiring words.  “Simply trusting every day, Trusting through a stormy way; Even when my faith is small, Trusting Jesus, that is all.”  We can trust Jesus.  He has proved Himself to be faithful.

I think if we will listen with our heart we will hear Jesus say to us “Will you ever learn”?  I believe we hurt Jesus and break His heart many times when we don’t trust Him or we are determined to do things our way.  We need to commit our way to Jesus and trust Him and He will help us.

It reminds me of something my Mother used to say to me “It doesn’t matter what I say, you’re going to do what you want to do”.  Is Jesus saying that to us?  May God help us to trust Jesus in all we do.  He is faithful and He will never leave us, not even for a minute.  Jesus will bear our burdens so we don’t have to.

Pastor Charles Albert Tindley wrote another one of my favorite hymns “Leave It There”.  “Leave it there, leave it there, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.  If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out. Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.”  We need to leave our burdens with Him.
