Wednesday 12.15.10: Daily Disciplines

Wake Up:
5:40 am

Devotion:
Streams in the Desert
Trust in Him. (Psalm 37:5)

The word "trust" is the heart of faith and is the Old Testament word given to the infant, or early, stages of faith. The word "faith" conveys more an act of the will, while the word "belief" conveys an act of the mind or intellect, but trust is the language of the heart. The words "faith" and "belief" reger more to a truth believed or to something expected to happen.

Trust implies more than this, for it sees and feels and it leans on those who have a great, living, and genuine heart of love. Therefore let us "trust also in him" (Ps. 37:5), through all the delays, in spite of all the difficulties, and in the face of all the rejection we encounter in life. And in spite of our feelings and evidence to the contrary, and even when we cannot understand our way or our situation, may we still "trust also in him; for He shall bring it to pass" The way will open, our situation will be changed, and the end result will be peace. The could will finally be lifted, and the light of eternal noonday will shine at last.

Trust and rest when all around you
   Puts your faith to stringent test;


Let no fear or foe confound you,
   Wait for God and trust and rest.


Trust and rest with heart abiding, 
Like a birdling in its nest,
Underneath His feathers hiding,
Fold your wings and trust and rest.

Notes:

• My buddy joined me for this one. It was nice to have someone to suffer with and the the element of competition that is added when doing a workout with someone else adds an immensely different variable to both physical and mental performance. 10 rounds was very difficult but I got through it by splitting up the workout mentally into small, attainable goals so as to not get overwhelmed by the workload. Very pleased with my time. Definitely could have done a sub 20 min.
