“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT)
One day, many years ago, at my young daughter's coed softball game, I noticed her coach standing near third base. During a play where the batter hit a ball into the outfield, one of the other kids on the team was running from second to third. The coach was waving him home. The coach could see that the ball was not yet back in the infield, so the runner would be safe at home. But when the boy rounded third he pulled up and looked to see where the ball was. It took him a minute and by then it was too late for him to advance to home. The next batter struck out, which ended the inning leaving the runner still on third. As the coach and the base runner walked to the bench area, the coach put his hand on the player's shoulder and said to him, "You can trust me. I'm your coach. You can trust me."
In some respects, that's what God is like. He is our Coach -- Someone who we can put our complete trust in, even though we can't see what's happening elsewhere. God sees things we can't. He knows what is best for us. He says to us, "You can trust Me. I'm your Coach. You can trust Me!"
