promise after promise as well as testimony upon testimony directing us to see His trustworthiness and faithfulness. \u00a0God\u2019s people, throughout time, have shown incredible faith and trust in their God. \u00a0The psalmist gives praise time and time again to the One Whom he trusted with his life. \u00a0Psalm 40 contains some of my most favorite words of confession acknowledging my trust in our great God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord;<br \/>\nand He inclined to me and heard my cry.<br \/>\nHe drew me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay,<br \/>\nand set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.<br \/>\nAnd He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.<br \/>\nMany shall see

women, we strongly desire to obey God and put our hope\/trust in Him. \u00a0 We follow the example given to us in 1 Peter 3 of women who trust God:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Instead, it should consist of what is inside the heart<br \/>\nwith the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit,<br \/>\nwhich is very valuable in God\u2019s eyes.<br \/>\nFor in the past, the holy women who put their hope in God<br \/>\nalso beautified themselves in this way, submitting to their own husbands,<br \/>\njust as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord.<br \/>\nYou have become her children when you do what is good<br \/>\nand are not frightened by anything alarming.<br \/>\nverses 4-6<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In closing, here\u2019s something to ask ourselves\u2026<br \/>\n&#8220;When others think of me, am I a woman whose life reflects a heart that trusts God? \u00a0Is there an outer beauty that is the result of a submitted, grateful, yielded, trusting spirit that shows on my face? \u00a0Or is it the \u2018worry lines\u2019 and chapped, bitten lips or nails that show the lack of resting\/trusting in my God?\u201d<br \/>\nI would love it if you would share your
