Me: It seems to be another day and another dollar.

 

Prodigal:  Very true, I have a break, why don’t to tell me what you have been learning about lately.

 

Me:  I have been reading and it has been helping with some of the Hebrew roots.  Let me share.

 

Active Spirituality by Charles Swindoll is a book that breaks down the word Trust

 

Proverbs 3:5  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

 

Trust.  At the root of the original Hebrew term is the idea of throwing oneself down, lying extended on the ground-casting all hopes for the present and the future upon another, finding shelter and security there.

 

Are you trusting God after breaking down the definition of Trust?  Some of you have not submitted yourself completely because you are still standing before the Lord trying to hold on to your present.  God will not begin giving you the future until you are extended on the ground in completely submission with all trust.

 

Proverbs 3:5  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
