After all these years, you would think it would be easy to trust in the Creator, the Messiah, the Lover of your soul, but even in dark times and times of uncertainty we must still hold our heads up and declare I STILL BELIEVE!!!
Several weeks ago I told a friend that I was in a transition.  He replied back that all that means is that things are changing and I’m not sure where they will end up.  He was right.  I have felt like I have been there and I have no idea where it will end.  Are you there too?
Everything is changing.  People are getting married.  People are getting divorced.  People are changing jobs.  People are moving.  There are so many uncertainties for many of us.  I feel like we have been put into a box like a jigsaw puzzle and we’re being scrambled around and no ones knows how it will end up.  This is a painful time for many.  Uncertainty of the future puts us in a place where, if we aren’t careful, we can make some poor decisions that could affect us for years.  Like that jigsaw puzzle, I’m always wondering if when I get close to the end, I’ll find out that all the pieces aren’t there. 
One thing I’ve learned but I still need to learn more is trust.  First of all, we can trust people but we have to know that they will let us down, even if unintentionally.  The arm of the flesh will fail us.  We still must trust.  However, Psalm says:

Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people;
Psalm 118:8 MSG

Secondly, even when someone breaks my trusts, I have to look deeper inside and realize that my hope is not in people or even myself.  I fail myself more than others fail me.  I must however know my Creator’s promise “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete  it  until the day of Jesus Christ.” 

My friend, I have to believe that He sees my darkness.  I have to believe that He knows my pain.  I also have to know that He can move mountains.  He can move my mountains and He can move your mountains too!!!
