Trusting in God

As I was driving to the doctor this morning with my sweet baby Jack in the back seat and his 101 + temperature, I used the 40 minute trip to pray and talk to God. I have had "things" on my mind these last weeks - Kingdom of Heaven "things". About 3 minutes before reaching the red light, I remember thinking that "I put my trust in God." I know I must have thought this thought at least 5 times repeatedly - one after another. I remember thinking I don't put my trust in me or my trust in others, but my trust in God and what He has revealed and will reveal. Before I knew it, I pulled up to the red light where cars were already waiting. I rolled to a stop behind a black Volvo. My mind was far away, but God brought my eyes to the black car's tag - it read:                                    TRUST IN GOD

I find that when I am most like a child, that is precisely when HE speaks to me.

"And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:2-4 KJV

While I typed this, I had no idea I would use this verse from Matthew 18 at the end. It wasn't until I posted this that I realized the verse has Kingdom of Heaven in it - the same phrase I used earlier in the post. Oh, how God knows the perfect words and ideas, long before we do. Isn't He just wonderful.
