I’ve had the song ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus stuck in my head for days and I am so glad I have. You know why? Because college is HARD.
I think (wait…I know) I complain about college a billion times a day and honestly, when I see “tourists” aka “potential students” come through my school I want to tell them college is a trap. These past few weeks have been crazy stressful with homework and studying and typing papers and trying to find time for myself but when my Spotify played NewSpring’s version of ‘Tis So Sweet…I may or may not have belted out every. single. word. and I was in the middle of typing a paper. Jesus knew I needed to hear those words.
This song came on at the perfect time because I was stressing about having over 1,000 words for a paper and enough research all while contemplating dropping out of college that I forgot to really listen to the words.My favorite part of the song is ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word.” Those words tell me that it’s so dang sweet to trust in Jesus and rely on His word even when I’m selfish and don’t rely on Him enough.
So…if you’re a college student or you will be soon, let me tell you that it WILL be hard. There will be times when you want to drop out and just want to crash on the bed and sleep for days and you don’t think you can go another day, trust in Jesus. Take Him at His word and trust Him. When you can’t trust friends or family… you sure can trust Jesus.
