God is Trustworthy??

I went to small group last evening... and our small group has been focusing on the sermon from that week. I missed church Sunday but I listened to it on the net... One of the benefits of an up and coming church... sermons on the internet. Anyway it was all about Mark 4:

35That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side."
36Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
37A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"
39He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

I thought a lot about this... Do I really trust God? I think for me it's one of those hard to explain things... When it comes down to it... I think I trust God in the big things but I'm not sure that I always trust Him in the little things. I tend to like that control over my life but in reality I don't think that control benefits me. I think that if I would place that trust in everything in His hands then everything would go smoother for me. Or maybe it wouldn't... but I think maybe I would doubt things less and maybe some other things would make more sense... I don't know... I'm still thinking on this pretty hard. I may post more later.
