As the air gave life to my next breath, I glanced up for there was a great ensemble amongst the trees. Their production was magnificent. It was something exhilarating about the way their hands freely gave way to the melody of the wind that joined in. I envied them in a way because their very presence was free! Free to be who they were created to be, free to do what they were created to do, free to trust their creation and their creator. Trust is a word we throw around often especially in our relationships and often times its misrepresented. We've all heard the sayings, "Without no Trust it's no us, I trust no one so don't take it personal, and what about this one I use it often- Trust is earned". Even though all these statements hold a high percentage of truth we tend to forget that at the very core of trust is relationship. Trust is the reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, and surety of a person or thing. It's having a confidence in the certainty of something or someone. I stood infatuated at how the trees positioned themselves in confidence with their chests poked out and the strength within their arms was evident. What a mighty array of warriors that stood before me. It caused me to reflect on a situation that had just happened where an opportunity for my daughter arose but because of the cost we couldn't take advantage of it. I felt so helpless and went on the porch to cry without my daughter seeing me. It was at that moment I felt the Lord speak through the bellows of the trees. He said you give money too much power. Money doesn't have the final say in your destiny nor the destiny of your daughter. It was as if I found a lost treasure. I can't describe it but I became so overwhelmed… I couldn't speak but wanted to shout out I'm rich! I'm rich! His wisdom was a wealth of information to me in a critical moment of choosing would I trust Him. Money is a powerful resource and a great influencer but it still has to yield to its creator & when it comes to what God has for us it's even limited in what it can do. The earth is the Lord and everything in it! I want to encourage and remind you that GOD is your provider! He will have the final say. Trust Him and know that He see's all and knows all. Trust in God opens up the door to the Favor of GOD!!! Yes there are some things money can't even buy! So I stood before those mighty warriors and I too positioned myself in the confidence of the one I trust. I spoke into the atmosphere, "Lord I trust you." Be Ye Encouraged today.
