Well – “IN GOD WE TRUST” – well should be always – but on paper money it showed up in 1955 as a motto – delicately and firmly printed – hopefully people take note on the notes. Hopefully I do too!!!
IN GOD (I must) trust – that is a given but not always taken – and recently while typing out a list of historical things that happened on certain dates in certain years – preparing a novel board game for my mom’s upcoming birthday (shhh, it’s a surprise… she loves games so why not make her a board game of her! sunny and cloudy – events – seasons – love – and time marching on…), it was a great phrase to see in the moment – “IN GOD WE TRUST”…
SO – in the making of this game, I was starting to have my mind wander while doing PowerPoint pushing of figures around – and then I started to drift into some concern for myself – wasteful time worrying for my situation – for my future – for my present – and WOW – my eyes turned back to the timeline website EXACTLY where the Lord likely wanted me to look at that time – not just the words but in Him – it was the entry for “IN GOD WE TRUST” printed on money in 1955 and hopefully implanted in my heart and my mind and my soul and in my psyche – IN GOD WE TRUST!!! YES, oh Lord, may I do so more and more…
So – YES – God is sending us this great message – not just on our money and in or on our money – but in engraving in our hearts – IN GOD WE TRUST – RIGHT NOW !!! Let us believe it. Stop worrying and keep looking to God to remind us that we only need Him and He’s got this! God’s Plan is to help us live this life and all that and then some…
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
IN God We Trust
In GOD We Trust
In God WE Trust
In God We TRUST !!!
AMEN
