In Everything. Trust HIM.

When you're in a tight spot and problems are raging all around, there is a sense of uncertainty that tries to envelop the mind. If we are not careful, it is easy to get mentally sidetracked. By focusing on our problems and never looking up, we will fail to experience the peace of God.

We should keep learning that when things don't work out the way we would have wanted, there is a greater plan in the future. The focus has to be taken off our doubts and placed on a promised word from God.

In the sport of NASCAR there are individual drivers for every racecar and for every driver there is a spotter. On their own a racecar driver is more likely to crash, but with the help of a spotter they are able to avoid some costly accidents.

Bob Margolis from Yahoo Sports explains, "The spotter is a team member with a radio who is placed in a high position where they can see as much of the entire race track as physically possible-usually on top of the highest grandstand. His or her primary job is to make sure the driver is safe during the race and to be a second set of eyes.

More than anything else, it's a job based on trust. When a spotter says "clear," his driver has to trust he's being given good information and that no other car is there, meaning he can move up or down the track."

We ourselves are in a race, and God is our spotter. From His vantage point, God is able to see every detail of our life. Nothing is hidden from God's sight, and to Him our road ahead is clearly visible.

No matter how bleak today may look there is always change on the horizon for those of us who have the faith to believe.

Isaiah 26:3 tells us, "God will keep in perfect peace all who trust in Him, all whose thoughts are fixed on Him!"

You and I have to come to the place where we trust God completely and allow Him the freedom to point us in the right direction. Not only do we have to trust Him, we have to remember that "God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according his purpose for them" (Romans 8:28).

Stay Blessed!
