Never have these words ring so true.
To trust that things will be fine when things don't go to plan.
To trust that maybe that was not the opportunity to take.
To trust because something doesn't happen and that's OK.
It's easy to say 'yes I can/do trust you' and 'yes I am patient' but in reality I am not.
To be a person that can wake up each day with no material possessions.......nothing at all except a humble mind and spirit that says:
"God. I don't know where my next meal is and what it is that you have planned for me today. But I know that you can be trusted because you love me anyway, and I believe that Christ died for me and has paid the penalty for my sins. Because of this revelation, I trust that you will lead me and my family to do good things for your kingdom. If it is your will to take us on the most difficult path we have ever faced before, show me the way and I will leave everything behind and go. If this journey takes years and maybe eventually takes my life, I am willing to do that for you, for I know that you have the plans for me; plans to help me and not to harm me; plans to give me hope and a future. (ref Jer 29:11)"
This is how you Trust and Obey.

It's when life takes the difficult paths that can't be explained that you can really hear God calling us to trust Him with His plan :) Otherwise, all you see is hopelessness and confusion.
One of my favourite hymns... "Trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus, than to trust and obey!"
