Do you view trials in life as exercises "designed to develop your trust-muscles?" Some days I feel that my "trust-muscles" are already well-developed and I don't need any more of that kind of exercise!
I have no idea how people survive without trusting in our Lord and knowing that we can be strengthened and refreshed - again and again - by His Holy Presence! Will you share your experiences (or that of a friend) when trust has developed and grown through trials and temptations? Those are the kind of stories that we don't hear in the news!
Today's scriptures are powerful ones about the whole idea of not being afraid through our trust in the Lord. Another one is in Proverbs 3:5-6, which starts out, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding..." I have found this to be a good one to memorize in order to bring it to mind in times of fear and/or trials. Do you have another scripture that you have found helpful for this purpose?
