I love the Palms.

David spared no expense when he prayed. What I mean by that, he prayed fervently. I like his prayer in Psalm 5: 11. Here we see that those who put their trust in God, He will defend them. If we trust in Him, the promise is He will defend! The key, is we have to trust.

I know things in this world sometimes cause us to have a lack of trust, we see things happening we don’t understand. That’s when trust really comes out, do we truthfully trust or just say we do.

I remember when I was six, my Father put us all in a car and said, we’re going to see Aunt Alderine. It was a four hour trip, to a lad my age, it was forever! I trusted my Dad and knew he’d get us there but, every ten minutes or so; I’d ask, are we there yet

I know it’s harder to trust someone you can’t see, that’s where faith comes in.

Do I really have the faith that I need to trust?

I learned to trust Him flat on my back. I knew the Word of God planted in my heart would bring me life and He did. A friend of mine wrote a piece and the bottom line was do we have the mind of Christ? The more of Him we allow, the stronger our faith and our trust. Lord, be our defender! Help us be more like you, so our faith You have given us will flourish! Amen
