Walking By Faith

What comes to mind when you hear the word “trust”?

For some of us, we think of words such as “reliable” and “dependable”. Others define "trust” as having a confidence in someone or something. Each of us may define it differently, but there's something we all have in common when it comes to trust. 

Every person, since the beginning of human history, lives life trusting in someone or something. Whether we’re talking about trusting someone to love us, or trusting in one's abilities, money, connections, and power, we all place our trust somewhere. However, there’s only one source we can trust to ALWAYS be there for us. Only one source whose greatness enables us to live with ultimate confidence and hope. And that source is God.

You see, although there’s nothing inherently wrong with having life-enriching relationships, abilities, and other blessings, all those things can and will fail us at times. Every one of us will face challenges too difficult and overwhelming for us to handle apart from God. During those times, life will remind us that our resources were never designed to give us the hope, peace, direction and help that only comes from the LORD.

Therefore, let's show our love for God by trusting and following Him when life is difficult, painful and doesn't make sense. In return, He promises to be our trustworthy Guide on life's journey.

For His glory,

Proverbs 3:5-6 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (New Living Translation)
