Trust, is something that needs to be earned and we can go through life feeling uneasy about specific people or circumstances.
“I just don’t trust _____.” or “There’s just something about _____.”
Sound familiar?
Yet, trusting in God, who is the author of our story, is the difference between someone watching a movie trailer for the first time and having to speak about it, compared to the movie writer and director. We are more than likely to trust in the quality of a blockbuster from a well-known actor compared to a new person in the film.
If trust is earned, then it calls for a relationship. You cannot know someone if you’re not spending time with them.
The same goes for God.
I look back on my Christian journey, and there have been situations that I have faced, where, to the person looking in from the outside, they have called me crazy. Because I have experienced peace and calm throughout that chapter of my life; but Psalm 9 reminded me today, that God never ignores our cries for help and He certainly will not leave those who seek Him.
I am currently going through a season of uncertainty, but I trust God because I know who He is and let’s not forget, God’s promises do not mean that if we believe in Him, we escape loss or suffering; but it does say that God, Himself, will never leave us – no matter what.
Who do we know God to be…
Provider…
Father…
Comforter…
Loving…
Merciful…
