Daddy Will Catch You

“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

When my girls were little, my husband liked to toss them up in the air (just a little) and catch them. They would squeal with delight each time they became airborne and then caught safely by the hands of their father. It’s the ultimate picture of trust. My girls didn’t have to question whether or not daddy would catch them. They knew. Daddy always catches you. You can trust him with all your heart.

As a child of God you can trust God with all your heart. Trusting God means not depending on your own understanding. When God called Abraham to leave his country, his relatives and his father’s family, God didn’t tell him where he was going. He just told him to go “to the land that I will show you.” Even though Abraham didn’t know where he was going, he trusted God and didn’t depend on his own understanding.

Some would say Abraham followed God blindly, but Abraham left Ur of the Chaldeans with full knowledge that the God He loved and followed was trustworthy. He knew that if God was going to toss him and his family in the air, He would always catch them. He could trust God with all his heart. He didn’t need to depend on his own understanding.
