This is Toby. Today, I took him to a new world that he had never experienced before. It was the basement of our farmhouse. No big deal to you or I, but to him it WAS a big deal. Since he'd never been there, I had to pick him up, and holding him in my arms, we went down the steps. He was shaking. But I held him until we got down the stairs, and then I set him down on the concrete floor. He started sniffing around, and exploring, and after a while, he was fine.

This whole thing started me thinking about how you and I feel when we are going to a new place, or taking a risk. Toby trusted me to carry him down the stairs. But who can we trust?

I've been working harder on my trust in God. Even when I don't understand what he is doing, and I'm uncomfortable, I need to trust him. He's always come through for me in the past.

Prayer: Lord, help me let you steer. Strengthen my faith in you. I want to be your humble servant. In Jesus name, AMEN.
