Verses: John 6 : 60 - 70
My thoughts about the verses:
Trust is one of the hardest things that we must do when it comes to our relationship with God. Trust is simply placing everything in the hands of the creator. Not holding back things and trying to fix them on your own. Not hiding from the one that created you, but instead freely following no matter what happens.
We all go through times in our lives where we trust God more than we do at other times. Then there are those times that we give in to trust because we feel like there is no other option. What God expects from us is to trust all the time. As we start building our relationship with God our bond of trust strengthens.
Think about the video of these small birds. Is this not ultimate trust? They must know that the parent will come back. That the feeding will continue over and over again as they grow stronger. They have no other option at this age because the food is too far away for them to get. Then as they grow older they have to take the next step and that is to trust the parent that they will help them spread their wings and teach them to fly. The parent is showing them by example what they will need to do for their own children.
Our relationship with God is much like this. When we first accept the Holy Spirit in our hearts we are spoon fed the word by God. We watch other Christians that have grown in their relationship with God. Then One day we spread our wings and leap out of the nest to start spreading the good news to others.
Jesus helps us by picking us up when we fall. The wind that we fill under our wings as we fly spreading the word is the actual breath of God.
That is what trust is about. Learning that no matter what happens God is there. Understanding that you are never alone is a total aspect of God. Lastly, knowing even when we turn our back God is there. God never leaves us alone rather allows us to grow and become the Christian we need to be. It is up to us to trust God. The choice is ours and we must decide if we will rely on God for all things.
Prayer:
Dear God thank you so much for being with us all the time. Thank you for helping us grows in our faith and trust in you. Help us dear Savior accepts the gifts you give us. Help us become an instrument of Life and Love to others. We pray in your Holy Name. Amen
Questions:
Do you trust God for all of your needs? Have you left the nest to help others or are you still learning to fly? If you have not left the nest what do you need to learn so that you can fly? If you have left the nest are you helping others?
