Is Trusting God a Challenge for You?
"Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed."
Psalm 37:3

Ponder This
This word “trust” is an interesting word. Its root is from the word that means “to lie face down on the ground.”
The idea is that a person is totally helpless. He has been cast down and has nothing to stand upon. The pins have been pulled from underneath him. He has no visible means of support.
That’s the place God wants to bring us to—where we have no visible means of support, and all we have is God.
In fact, did you know God will sometimes knock your feet out from under you so you might learn to trust Him? At that point, faith is no longer an option or a luxury; it’s a necessity. To the world your situation looks hopeless, but that’s right where God wants to show Himself powerful in your life.
Practice This
Is there an area in your life today for which you must trust God completely? Perhaps you need some “face time”. . .face down on the ground before the Lord. Bring that issue before Him in total surrender.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
