Dana Dawkins must have sung solos and led singing at a thousand funerals. I always remember a particularly sad funeral when she sang a song called “Trust His Heart.” I know she has performed that song at many funerals. Why? Because the message is so encouraging. Here’s the chorus:
“God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don’t understand
When don’t see His plan
When you can’t trace His hand
Trust His Heart
Trust His Heart”
Aren’t those great words? God is wise and good, and no matter what is happening, you can trust His heart. “When you can’t trace His hand, Trust His heart.” Previously I encouraged you to pray for wisdom—that God would show us what He is doing. We should ask Him what is going on in the world, and how to interpret the facts. But when we don’t know—when we can’t see His hand at work, we can still trust His heart. Trust His heart. He is wise and He is good. Do you trust Him? Can you surrender to Him all your recent disappointments? Can you trust Him with your future? Can you release your grip on it, and let Him have it and let Him do with your life whatever He wants? Trust His heart. He loves you. And He is a promise keeper.
“So the Lord gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers.… The Lord gave them rest on every side according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. None of the good promises the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed. Everything was fulfilled.” Joshua 21:43-45.
Pray and give God everything. Talk to Him about all of it. Let go and trust His heart. He is good.
