For some time, I traveled to Minnesota over Christmas to see family. I usually rented a car and drove. But in 2022, a snowstorm with blizzard-like conditions was forecasted to hit every part of my route to Minnesota from Belleville, Illinois.
I was so ashamed that I let my emotions get the best of me. I knew about the possibility of the storm a week before my departure. Nonetheless, I did not trust in the Lord. I got a plane ticket for my trip to Minneapolis at the last minute. This, in itself, was difficult because everyone wanted to travel because COVID-19 had canceled travel plans over the previous few years.
I realized how much the Lord guided me when the airline canceled my flight home. In fact, the airline experienced mass cancellations. However, the Lord came through and made a way for me again. For only thirty-seven dollars, I extended my rental car for one day and drove home to Illinois.
I also remember when the Lord provided for me another time when I worked from Saturday night to Sunday morning. My church had a Saturday night service, so I could always attend church before I went to work.
We should trust the Lord in all things, small and large. Our understanding may not always be correct, but He will provide.
Think of some things that will help you trust the Lord.
