Roots

The paved path I walk most mornings is shifting. 

Lifted. Moved. Broken.  

By earthquake, flood, or foot traffic?

No. Roots of nearby trees travel underneath. Moving asphalt. Breaking through brick and stone. 

Revealing their power and hold. Eventually breaking through from underneath the surface. Disrupting my steps.

Roots disrupting.

Trust in the Lord

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart….” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

All? Yes, all. Not the part. But the whole.

“Search me, O God and know my heart…” (Psalm 139:23-24)  And He does. Revealing hidden chambers. Locked tight. Corners where I hold fast to self-reliance. Secrets. Pride. Fear.

Can I trust Him with even these?  Yes.

He will make your paths straight. Image by Thomas WIllmott, Unsplash.
