Entrust Your Life

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,

    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life."- Psalm 143:8

the time. Marriage is a decision to honor God by 
honoring the one He entrusted to me."-Lysa Terkeurst

           Psalm 143:8 was given to me by a friend last month and it has been on my bathroom mirror all of this month. The verse has been my theme verse for this month. I am sure that I saw it from church or somewhere else before that friend gave it to me but either way it is how I need to live my life and I am trying especially this month. It is just so hard to have all of those things and believe all of those things when things are changing and so hard around you. Here is what it means to me right now. 
          The reason it is on my bathroom mirror is so I could reread it each day before I go to work and each night before I go to sleep. It can be stuck in my head and I can take a deep breath and off to work I go. Now this whole verse on the mirror thing, I started in college so it is nothing new to me. Anyways, back to what the verse means to me. I want the morning to bring His (God's) Unfailing Love to me because I want to love on those children and everyone else around me. I don't want to be mean or sassy most of the time. 
           I know the children are watching me so I need to love on them and I do but at times I have to make myself and I don't like that. There are times when I have to force that love because it has been a hard day or things in my life aren't adding up. I mean we all of those days where we want to Love people but things get in the way of that. Then there is that trust part that I always have to keep working on with God. I'm not an easily trust type of person. I am very careful so if I tell you important things or even come up to talk to you or talk back that means that you have passed my trusting level and I do trust you. 
           There are days where I just have to say, "Ok, God I am trusting you with this thing or that thing. I'm trusting you that even though the children are playing they will get something out of it even though we aren't doing crafts or learning today." Then again, with my personal life, there are things I'm so scared to trust God with but it shouldn't be that way. I should let Him have everything but we are all humans so there are days I take back things that I let Him have yesterday or the day before. We just have to keep turning it over to Him everyday and in this verse that is a good reminder. 
           Then the last part really gets me. Show me the way to go, O God for I entrust you with my life. I am not there, of course, but I want every single being in my being to be there someday. I want to make my life count for something. I want to hear Him say at the end of my life, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."  Just to think of it that way, of entrusting your life to God, someone you can't see yet you just have to believe things will turn out good. Someone that you think knows you better then yourself. 
           We are putting God in charge of our life when we say that and letting Him invest in it. That is what the word "entrust" means. God has a special duty for our lives and we are giving Him the go ahead to live it out when we are entrusting Him with our lives. We are giving God the responsibility with out lives. Isn't that even the littlest bit scary? But then it comes down to the next saying I have on here about entrusting your marriage and/or you husband/wife. 
           That saying is saying, "Marriage is not about being happy all the time." It is about being in charge and investing in the one you love. Sometimes that maybe a little rocky and hard to do in a marriage. Yet we have to do it in a way that is honoring to God, which sometimes can make it even a little bit more harder. We have to think about what is best for the other person and not ourselves. We might have to give up something that we like to do just so we can spend more time with our husbands/wives. 
           To put it in another way: "Marriage is meant to make us holy and not happy." Right? Entrust our husband/wife also means to commit to them and/or care for and/or confide in and when you are married the only person you should be confiding or caring for is your other half. If you think about it the word "holy" is kind of the same thing. It means to: devote, be in awe of, have a pure quality, and being dedicated to one person and only one person. 

          Two important words in this entry are entrust and holy. 
                      Entrust-to charge or invest with a trust or responsibility; to commit (something) in trust to; confide, as for care.
                      Holy-having a spiritually pure quality: inspiring fear, awe; dedicated or  devoted.

          There is your lesson on different words and their meanings for the day. Also, there is your memory verse for the next month too.
