Reassurance

Ashley and I just got back from a small vacation in my home state of California. We traveled all around Northern California and I was reminded just how beautiful it is. We went to see the redwoods in Muir Woods which is right by San Francisco, and also traveled to the east to Yosemite and was again amazed at God's creation. As we were standing dwarfed by these massive redwood trees that were hundreds of years old, that have withstood all the elements, that are so big you can stand inside one, and some that have been around before Columbus set sail in 1492. I looked at my wife and said, "How could I not trust him? How could I not believe he won't take care of me? How could I not believe he is in control of all things, yes even my job" I have been waiting on a job right now and waiting on God to provide. It's not easy, there has been a great peace and then there has been doubts and fear. God does seem to help me along day by day and remind me that He has everything under control. I just never thought that a tree would remind me about his sovereignty. How cool is that.
