John Cordova always said…
My friend John Cordova is moving to town to work and go to seminary. I recall a conversation we had this summer and something he briefly stated in one sentence has often been on my mind since that muggy, summer day in Florida.
Cordova simply said, “I’m willing to trust God with my eternal destination but I’m not willing to trust him today.”
My heart resonated with that statement. Then I thought about how illogical it is for it to be so true in my life on so many days. How can I trust God with my eternity - the part that never ends - but I’m not willing to trust him with today’s needs and trials?
The same God that has rescued me from the domain of darkness (read Ephesians 2 if you like) so that I could be a pointer to His amazing grace gives me all I need today. He will do the same tomorrow and the same when I am breathing my last breath on this round globe.
He will make sure I get to eternity all right and that the new heaven and earth will be my home - He will be my home.
So here I am today, having trouble trusting… What do I need? I need to remember and trust in the foundational promises of God’s word. I might need a friend to remind me of the amazing gospel through a phone call or letter.
If you aren’t trusting God today, don’t beat yourself up. But do go to Him and honestly share your heart. Then call a friend and ask them to preach the gospel to you for we need to be reminded everyday.
