Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your
own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your
paths. (Proverbs 2:5-6 NKJV).
The crowd watched as the man walked a tight rope stretched
across Niagara Falls. Then the second time he adorned a blindfold and walked
the line across and back. On his third trip across he pushed a wheelbarrow over
and back. Once again he accomplished his feat with the wheel barrow blindfolded.
The crowd cheered each time he preformed his acts. The guy then asked one of
the people watching, “Do you believe I can push that wheelbarrow over and back
again without the blindfold?” Based on his previous feats the person answers
yes. The man then says to the person, “Then get in the wheelbarrow.”
That is
what God asks us to do; get in His wheelbarrow. It is easy to say we have trust
in the Lord but when tested we sometimes doubt. We doubt that He will take care
of the situation. We doubt that He will heal us. We doubt that He really cares
about the little things. This Proverb reminds us that we can put our complete
trust in Him even though it may not seem logical to us. When all is going well
in our lives it is easy to trust Him so we must learn to trust Him the same way
in times of trial. Next time you are faced with a decision or find yourself in
a circumstance that you cannot fix; take a deep breath, look to heaven, and get
in the wheelbarrow and hold on.
