FAITH

Psalms 121

I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord,the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip — he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you — the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day,nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Yesterday Kevin and I went on a hike up Tablerock, here in Medford. As many of you know, Kevin was diagnosed with a brain tumor over a year ago. Kevin teaches me so much and I am so grateful for him being in my life. As we were walking up the trail he told me there was no way he could have hiked up this mountain last summer....but look at him now! It was such an accomplishment for both Kevin and I to make it up to the top....to see the beautiful view of the valley we now live in. One thing I have learned from Kevin is to hold on to the Lord and trust in him with all that I have. Kevin has done just that.....he hasn't given up on life but has surrendered his life completely over to the Lord. Everyday he is being used by the Lord to reach the lost and love them. Today as I was doing my daily devotions I read this in the notes of my Life Application Bible........

Growing in faith is a constant process of daily renewing our trust in Jesus

My faith in the Lord has grown so much over the past year. It started growing when I finally completely surrendered my life, my will, my dreams, my everything over to the Lord. That is when He could finally do what he wanted to do in my life. I started trusting in the Lord...trusting that he knows what's best and he will take care of my every need. I began trusting him with every step I take. I wasn't holding on to control anymore....I started seeking the Lord's face and his will for my life.
