Faith Over Fear: The Divine Trust-Fall

Have you ever participated in a “trust-fall” at your place of work?

A “trust-fall” is when you stand with your back towards a group of coworkers. At the designated time, you blindly fall backwards into the safe and secure arms of your teammates who are ready to catch you.

At least, you hope they are ready to catch you.

Some companies offer a trust-fall experience to promote teamwork within their organizations.

Fortunately, I’ve never had to do it.

That’s a lot of trust to put into a coworker who you know stole your turkey sandwich from the employee refrigerator. 🙂

No doubt, a trust-fall is all about surrendering control and trusting someone else.

If you think about it, our very lives are like a trust-fall.

Our fellow humans will fail us, but by our Sovereign God’s grace, He never will.

This is what faith is all about.

We can trust God completely.

In the challenging days ahead, it’s a comfort to know that God is just a prayer away.

He will be there to guide and lead us, just as a shepherd does his sheep.

God is always with us.

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). – Matthew 1:23, NASB).¹

Courageous Faith: The Divine Trust-Fall

How comforting it is to know that God knows every detail of our lives and wants us with Him for eternity.

Trust Him

Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,
Trust Him when thy strength is small,
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest thing of all.

Trust Him, He is ever faithful,
Trust Him, for his will is best,
Trust Him, for the heart of Jesus
Is the only place of rest.
