"TRUST IN JESUS!"
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
When you come to the end of yourself—it is the time to come to Jesus. It often occurs when we lose someone or something that is precious to us. In the dark night of our soul, Jesus is the light!
We must demonstrate such a trust and dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ, that we will feel Him holding us in His loving arms when we pass through the valley of the shadow of death.
In 1879, Louisa M.R. Stead was happily married and the mother of a four year old daughter. The small family was enjoying a pleasant picnic along the sea shore when a call for help was heard. They spotted a boy drowning in the sea.
Mr. Stead charged into the water in an attempt to save the lad. In his panic the boy pulled his rescuer below the waves where they both perished in clear view of Louisa and her daughter. In her time of grief, Louisa penned the words of the familiar hymn, 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.
(1) 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His word, Just to rest upon His promise, Just to know, ‘Thus saith the Lord.’ "
CHORUS: Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more.
(2) How I love to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood, Just in simple faith to plunge me, 'Neath the healing, cleansing flood! CHORUS:
(3) Yes, I've learned to trust in Jesus, And from sin and self to cease. Now from Jesus simply taking, life and rest and joy and peace. CHORUS:
(4) I'm so glad I learned to trust Him, precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that He is with me, He'll be with me to the end. CHORUS:
