Jeremiah 17:7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Today's Thought: Trust always in the Lord for everything in your life.
A television program preceding the 1988 Winter Olympics featured blind skiers being trained for slalom skiing, impossible as that sounds. Paired with sighted skiers, the blind skiers were taught on the flats how to make right and left turns. When that was mastered, they were taken to the slalom slope, where their sighted partners skied beside them shouting, "Left!" and "Right!" As they obeyed the commands, they were able to negotiate the course and cross the finish line, depending solely on the sighted skiers' word. It was either complete trust or catastrophe.
This is a clear picture of the Christian life. We don't know the events tomorrow, but we need to trust in the leading of the Lord. He knows what is ahead and we only need to trust His love for us. It is the everlasting love of the Lord that should keep us on track of everything. There are times when we cannot just see the light ahead, but in the darkness we only need to trust the one who says: I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
The Lord knows best for us. The promises of the Lord are sure. We need to trust Him for all these. We need to hope for the Lord's answer to our prayers. Let us learn to be blind skiers and just trust Him who sees everything.
