#TrustHim

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.” Psalm 37:4-6

I have a Twitter account (@ReneeAndrews). If you follow me on Twitter, I’ll go ahead and apologize, because I don’t post that often. Most of the time, I will re-tweet what someone else has posted, often our son, Rene (@ReneZeringue), because he actually posts fairly regularly, and his words are most often spiritually uplifting and thought-provoking—things I want to share with my readers.

But recently, I did post a bit of text from a sermon that I found extremely inspiring. The gist of the message was how we need to trust God. If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, you may not know about the hashtags at the end of each tweet, but basically, in order to allow others to find your post based on subject matter, you can add a hashtag (#) at the end and follow it with text that highlights the subject or theme of the message.

So when I posted my message, I began to type the hashtag at the end and follow it with trustHim (#trustHim). Now, the computers are programmed to guess what you plan to type, right? So, as I began to type, my computer filled in the text with #trustnoone.

Trust No One.

I stared at the screen in disbelief. How sad, that in today’s world, the most popular person to trust (at least in the program of my computer) is no one. Honestly, I can’t remember hearing that at all when I grew up. If you heard the word “Trust,” it was typically followed by, “God” or “in the Lord.”

Quickly, I replaced the suggested text with what I intended: #TrustHim. And I will attempt to remind others—and myself—that my faith and my trust is in God.

This Week: If you’re on social media of any type, post this verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 #trustHim
