Enroute to Dallas yesterday, I saw a man joyfully dancing down the street and waving a sign that said, "TRUST GOD" on it. This isn't the photo. I wish I could have gotten it because I would visually be able to show his unabandoned joy to you, but way too much traffic held me back. Nevertheless, he inspired me. The first impression of passer-bys was probably "That guy's a 'looney-tune'!" But, when I saw him, I gave him a big thumbs up as I passed him. I recognized that joy from personal experience. Maybe he was deliriously happy because of some great answers to prayer and he was wanting everyone to experience what he was experiencing. On the other hand, maybe he was acting in faith, TRUSTING GOD, for something that seems almost impossible in the natural. Either way -- he had the "goods" on trusting.
Think about what a "looney-tune" Noah must have been to those who watched him building the ark for over 100 years. How about the little shepherd boy, David, standing up to Goliath! What about Daniel in the lion's den? What about those of us that trusted God in the storms of life and we came through it all? Actually, maybe it’s the people who don’t trust in God that are the real "looney tunes". Maybe people who never take a risk, never face their fears, and those who don't know how to dance in the storms are the real "looney-tunes".
Honestly, there are days that I am so profoundly overjoyed at the answers to prayer, the blessings that come my way, and sheer delight in my relationship with God -- that I could be that guy in my desire for others to see that TRUSTING GOD truly pays off! Yes, there are prayers that don't get answered the way we'd like them to. Often we get a "No" or a "Not yet" answer, and, even so, we learn that total TRUST with complete certainty that He will work it ALL for our good, just becomes our way of life. TRUST GOD!
