TRUST

Proverbs 3:5 says "Trust in the Lord ..."

Trust. One word. Simple to say. Hard to do.

All of us have problems with trust especially nowadays. These days, you don't know who to trust: Politicians. People of authority. Groups.  Religious figures. Even our friends and relatives. Each one tries his best to be trustworthy. Only to make a mistake that breaks it.

This proverb tells us to Trust the Lord. Who is the Lord? He has a name - Jesus Christ. The savior has always been dependable in all circumstances. Because He is perfect, He does not lie. When we trust in God, we are sure that He is dependable and that He will never break the trust between Him and us.

Though I cannot say the same for our part. Because we are flawed, we tend to be inconsistent with our end of the bargain. We end up doing what we promised not to do. Yet, God continues to love us and give us grace to do our part.

Does it mean that we should not trust people? Not at all. There should be people that we can trust. But to put these people above God is something else. Trust God above all.

Let me encourage you to TRUST GOD. He never breaks a promise. He never pulled out of a deal. He never short-changed anyone. He is consistent and trustworthy. All is waiting for is for you to trust Him?

THINK ABOUT IT:
Trust is earned, right? Do you know that God does everything in His power to earn our trust. Yet, who are we to be given such treatment when we are the ones who are suppose to earn His trust. That's just how God loves you and me.

What will you do about it?
