It would be so much easier to trust Him if it meant that He'd never allow us to be sick or poor or alone or broken. Hinds Feet on High Places has one of my favorite passages on this--the Shepherd leading Much Afraid away from the mountaintop and into the desert. I hate the desert! How could it be God's plan for me to be THERE, of all places? But, geesh, sometimes it is...and I still have to trust Him! Definitely a matter of the will and not the emotion.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331216449835185989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17705687.post-1129834118128733242005-10-20T14:48:00.000-04:002005-10-20T14:48:00.000-04:00Kris--I read your blog everyday -- I love it!I've ...Kris--<BR/>I read your blog everyday -- I love it!<BR/><BR/>I've been having trouble reading the Psalms lately, because you know that there are Christians whose houses are broken into or who are attacked, and that makes me wonder... what does it really mean to trust God? He's going to watch over and protect me until someday he's not -- or until maybe he allows something horribly painful anyway, even though he's watching? Not that all of us are going to be subject to the worst of the worst, but why is it some of us are??<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just crazy, but I'm a bit stuck on this right now.
