March is a very unpredictable month. Spring has sprung yet the weather can't quite make up its mind. There can be frost warnings at night while we don shorts during the day. I've changed clothes three times in one day, and not because I was a diva on tour. How can one month be so uncertain? We don't like uncertainty, do we? Certainly not! No one likes being caught off guard. Sorry March, but I just can't trust you.
But then again, who can we trust? I used to think that I could trust my parents, my spouse, myself. After all, aren't these the most important relationships we'll ever experience in a lifetime? It all begins at childhood. That word alone brings a smile to some and visions of horror to others. Same holds true for the next word – marriage. Why is this? Is it because we are all, and I do mean all, human and fallible? The longer you live the clearer this truth will become. "For we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23.
There is only One who can be trusted, who will never fail us, who is faithful, and who keeps his promises. Someone who won't catch us off guard or leave us cold and alone. We may know this truth in our heads, but only when we totally believe it with our hearts will we begin to rise each day with a new song, knowing that our Creator and Savior is always there and always will be. No more doubts, fears, or worries.
And don't you think He designed it that way?! Think with me for a moment. If there were just one human being on this planet, one month on the calendar, one pill on the shelf that could be trusted infallibly, wouldn't we worship it instead? There is ONLY ONE who can be trusted and that is our Creator and Sustainer. The day you surrender to that One will be your Independence Day.
