One of the benefits of a long life

Although I have not yet reached three scree score and ten, I am racing headlong to three score! Each year I see more clearly how very little I truly know about the fathomless God I serve, but I do see more clearly how very much I need Him, to depend on Him. My excitement over seeing Him one day face to face also grows each day. I have learned to trust Him and trust in Him. I recognize that fretting and worrying about anything--big or small--shows great disrespect for Him. How presumptive and unloving for me to think that He is not capable of handling all of my cares that He has told me to cast upon Him. He who is all wise, all loving, and all just can manage perfectly all that I love and that is important to me. He said He would "perfect" that which concerns me. Who could ask for more? I love the song that says, "It's not in trying but in trusting; it's not in running but in resting; it's not in wondering but in praying that we find the strength of the Lord." So much more to learn, so little time.
