You can Trust Him

Exodus 2:7-8

“Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.”

As Jochebed released Moses, in his little ark of bulrushes, into the river…I cannot imagine how painful that was.

That goes against everything that is hardwired into a mother. She was showing the Lord she trusted him, but her heart had to be crying out in anguish as she watched the little bulrush ark float out of sight.

Trusting the Lord doesn’t equal it being easy to do. Sometimes your soul will cry out in anguish because trusting is going against everything in your soul that is normal or natural.

Your heart breaking as you let go doesn’t mean that you’re doing it wrong. It means that you’re choosing Jesus over your flesh and whatever you’re having to let go of.

And sometimes that hurts.

Sometimes that breaks your heart.

You know her soul was crushed as her own flesh and blood floated out of sight.

But I can’t imagine the unfettered joy when what she let go of, trusting the Lord, was laid safely in her arms again.

She let go, broke her own heart, and put Moses in the Lord’s hands.

Only for the great I AM to place him back in hers.

Sometimes trusting is painful.

But there is never a time that he will ask you to let go, and he will not fill your hands and heart again.

Your soul may cry out in anguish as you let go and choose to trust and obey.

But there’s a perfect plan in motion.

Healing is coming, because he will not leave you empty handed.

You can trust him.

Even when it breaks your heart.
