Trust...

I had an entire post on trust and I accidentally deleted it... guess I can't trust my own fingers!

The basic idea of the post was the possibility of never being able to trust.

As a child I was raised in a country that was foreign to my parents.  Therefore I grew up hearing a lot of "dont trust anything the people here." And things along that line.

So I found it hard to trust anyone that didnt look like me.

When I moved here, one of the people who looked like me, violated my trust.  Talk about irony, ha!

So I lived a life of trusting very few people often the list didnt include even myself.

Then I noticed something as I became a bit more mature in my walk with Jesus.

I tend to place my trust issues on God.  I equate God and the humans around me.  As a believer in Christ and the Almighty God, that sounds absurd, I know.  Its also sadly the truth for so many of us.

I heard a sermon by Francis Chan just the other day where he mentioned this very fact.  When we are looking for God's will for our lives, we tend to forget that He is faithful and He is trustworthy.  So why is it so hard to believe that God will come through when we are at a crossroads?

I speak for myself only when I say its because I transfer the faults of the human race to the qualities of God.  Is this something you deal with in your daily walk?

I pray that this is something I will intentionally fight and something that you will fight in our lives.

If we are going to claim that we believe in all of God's attributes then we must believe that above all He is trustworthy since thus far, He has done all the things He had promised.

Love God and the rest will follow...
