This is a phrase that has been coming to mind lately. Many times in life, in different spheres, you have to trust the system. A lot of times it’s not easy and may seem illogical or unfair, but you have to do it.
I think of the teacher applicants I put forward to this nerve-wracking interview. Some of the best teachers I have put forward were not recommended for the positions. Answers are not given as to why – there are so many teachers interviewed – individual reasons are not supplied. The panel has their reasons.
You have to trust the system.
Perhaps they heard something that made them know for sure this teacher would absolutely not cope in the Middle East.
A month ago when I went for my annual mammogram, I had been having some left-side pain and told the technician. She made a note and I expected that they would do an ultrasound right after the mammogram, simply because of my symptoms. I was very surprised when the results came out and the technician came and said all was well and I could leave. I wasn’t all that comfortable in doing so, but I thought, I had to trust the system. The other day when I was at the gynae he told me a bit of what was in the report and explained more about the results. It made much more sense, but without that information last month I was left to trust the technician.
There are many things in the world and of the world that we just don’t have answers to. We have to trust that there are others that know better than we do about the things we don’t know about!
Trust is a big thing.
Trust is gained.
When broken, it is hard to repair.
We too have to be trust-worthy.
God is trust-worthy.
This morning as I did my Bible reading a verse jumped out at me that I thought was a great new one to memorize.
Psalm 32:10
The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in Him.
Being able to trust God is such a gift. It releases me from a load of worry. I don’t have all the answers but I can trust that God does. When I feel I can’t cope, I know God can. In the end it will all be all right. Knowing that is a great feeling.
# 194 of my 1000 thanks is for the peace that comes when trusting God (and the unfailing love!)
These are the days!
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
