Boots and Trust

Mother called earlier and said Dad said he MAY have found the boots Jerry stole!

She asked where he found them and Dad said, “he hid them in a good place.”

Mother said, “I remember you saying if you found them you would call and apologize.” Dad said nothing. I few seconds later he said, “I’ll go out and check again, those may not be the right boots.”

We’re hoping he’s leveling out chemically . . . but if he is not, we still trust our all-the-time-good God. Here’s today’s verse:

"Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful." Proverbs 16:20, NLT

Barb and I talked this am that everyone keeps expecting us to keel over w/all this mess, and we would have keeled over long ago if we trusted in ourselves. But we are trusting and entrusting it all to God, moment by moment sometimes.

We are not jump up and down happy, but we are not cast down, and have JOY because of trust. Join us, lay your cares down in obedience and see God pour in JOY. Joy comes up from within; happiness depends on external circumstance. The world will marvel at God when they see us walk in joy in spite of yucky stuff!

Check your heart. Is your joy gone? then you are NOT trusting. He said there would be a test . . . will you trust the all-wise God?
