Entrust

“The believers there had entrusted them to the grace of God to do the work they had now completed.” (Acts 14:26 NLT)

“...launched by God’s grace and now safely home by God’s grace.” (Acts 14:26 MSG)

In the last Olympics, the runners on the U.S. relay team had trouble passing the batons. Unlike some other teams, who practice regularly together, the U.S. runners are often picked at the last minute before the relay race. Even though they are some of the fastest runners, they have not practiced passing the baton to each other.

Trust is difficult, especially if you don’t practice regularly. When you consistently practice handing circumstances over to God, when you become more familiar with His timing and His grip--then, you are able to trustingly let go and let God run with it.

Lord help me to trust YOU completely and have peace. I want to entrust everyone and everything into your care. You have taken care of all of us thus far. Even when we didn’t completely trust you...You forgave our lack of faith. Every day, I shall practice--handing over everything into your care. I will trust you to launch us at the right time, by Your Grace, and finish safely by Your Grace.
