Total Trust

I got in my car this morning, started it then drove to church. I arrived at church got out my car shut the door walked across the bridge going from the annex to our new worship space the arena. Said 'hi' to the parking guy then got into the limo golf cart that shuttles people to the building. I went in to the sanctuary and later sat in my seat.
Now some of you are content to know how my morning commute is. Meanwhile others are wondering why I would blog about how I came to church this morning. Well allow me to explain, as many of you know I am raising money to go to Honduras August first. Still confused? I am trusting God to provide finances through whatever means He sees fit. However, I am nervous at times. I worry about it frequently. I know God is in control and I am working hard to try to earn as much as possible, but that will not be enough. I will need monthly supporters for the four and one half years Heather and I are signed up for.
I trust God to provide this don't get me wrong, but how much do i really trust? How thoroughly do I trust Him? When I got in my car this morning I did not worry saying, "oh my will it start?" Nor did I pray "God please don't let the tires fall off and cause me to wreck." Maybe I should pray for these things if you have seen my car! I walked across the bridge to church I trusted it would not fall beneath me. I sat down at church and the seat did not give way like I trusted it not to, but it very well could have. God is much more powerful than my car, a bridge, a seat or the golf cart.
My prayer for my self and for you is that we start to trust God with more confidence than what we put in our cars, money, jobs or whatever we are putting our confidence in. I trust in Christ for eternal life, but God wants my confidence in every area of my life. He wants us to trust Him for every breath not just some things, but everything.
"What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows." Matthew 10:29-31
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" Proverbs 3:5
