I read Psalm 11 this morning. Here’s the gist of it- David begins with an affirmation. I trust God.

Then he goes on- So why do expect me to run around in circles like the sky is falling?

God knows what’s going on here. He knows the true, deep motivations and I trust Him to judge us all.

I’m not worried.

Several of my characters wrestle with trusting God, Bobbi especially. She’s a capable, confident woman, and she figures she can handle almost everything. When her husband cheats on her, she reaches her limit. She struggles with how God could let that happen. Isn’t He supposed to protect His own? It causes her to reevaluate the box she had kept God in.

Do I have God in a box that limits His freedom to work in my life, to use me? Do I trust God to the point of being at complete peace with my situation? Even if that situation is another rejection or another closed door?
