Hey Friends,
This is Odie reporting in with you today. Happy Saturday, I hope that you had a great week. I am doing well.
Today I want to share some thoughts that have been rolling over in my heart. Hopefully, my mind and fingertips can convey my feelings, as I type this post.
Peace In Trusting
Recently I have been reflecting on the faithfulness of God. It is a blessing that we can trust
Him! God is always with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us!
The
uncharted terrain that we all have been traveling may be scary, but we are
not alone. I am grateful to have Him navigating life with me! I am thankful that I can depend on the peace that He gives me.
I have also been reminding myself that true and lasting peace comes when I can fully trust God. He is in control of all things. Not one thing will ever take Him by surprise.
Daily I am trying to remember to trust Him anew. He can see me through the events of each day. A couple of my favorite Bible passages give me great strength and comfort. These words are so true and they never lose their power!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
There is a beautiful song that has been encouraging me recently. I am going to share it with you today. My cousins Sonya Isaacs Yeary, Jimmy Yeary and Becky Isaacs Bowman penned this song last year. They have a true gift of writing songs that speak straight to the heart!
This particular song is titled Peace In Trusting. You can hear it on the newest project from The Isaacs. The album is titled Songs For The Times. Click here to order your copy of this project. Also you can click here to see a behind the scenes video of The Isaacs recording this song. Sonya shares the circumstances that inspired the song.
These words have been playing over in my head on repeat. Many nights I have woke up singing this chorus. It is my anthem right now. The message is true!
There’s peace in trusting the Lord
Peace when my faith and fear are at war
So I don’t have to worry
He knows what’s in store
And there’s peace in trusting the Lord
Yes there's peace in trusting the Lord
Below are the full song lyrics to Peace In Trusting. Please read them. Take a moment to ponder these words and let the soak into your soul.

God only knows how I’ve cried
Heartbroken and my hands are tied
But He’s been faithful time and time again
And although I don’t know how it ends
Chorus
There’s peace in trusting the Lord
Peace when my faith and fear are at war
So I don’t have to worry
He knows what’s in store
And there’s peace in trusting the Lord

If His will should not go my way
If the answer is not what I prayed
Then I'll trust Him for what I can't see
Cause I know He knows whats best for me

There is peace peace peace
Peace when my faith and fear are at war
