Ginna Coulson: Taking a Breath



Trusting God is easy as taking a breath - in the middle of an asthma attack.
We want to do it with all our heart and soul, yet sometimes it evades us.
Our wants and needs become so important to us, we forget all we have.
Yet waking in the morning to a beautiful sunrise can bring us back to easy breathing.
Appreciating the constant order of the universe, the miraculous functions of our bodies,
the ebb and flow of the tide, the exact formation of our
star system....you get the drift....all came about through a loving, orderly, forgiving God.
He sent His spirit to live with us; He sent His Son to teach us of his Love and His Word.
When we do embrace the spirit of His word, we are free from worry and anxiety.
Our needs lose their importance.
But too often, life interrupts us, and the interruption can cause panic.
Time seems too short, the seasons pass too quickly.
Children grow, and grandchildren come.
Situations happen that prove we have no control.
And so we take that deep breath, and trust God.
We know He loves us; we know He knows us.
Trusting God frees us to live giving thanks and praise to Him who created us and our world.
Let the Holy Spirit flow through you to others in prayer, devotion and service.
God trusts you.
