Did you know that the word Trust or a form of the word is mentioned over 100 times in the bible? And out of all the books in the bible...it's mentioned the most in Psalm. I thought that was very interesting! It is said that the more one word is mentioned in the bible the more important it is...That makes you think doesn't it?
The definition of trust is: firm belief in the honesty and reliability of another. It had me thinking this morning during my very beautiful fall run, why is it so hard for humans to trust another? For a majority of us our needs are meant from the time we are born. We are fed, changed, held and loved by several people and anytime we cryed we were reassured that everything would be okay. But where does that trust break down for those of us that grew up with a stable household? Were we tramutized as a young adult, got a broken heart, had great loss or really let down by the people that supposedly loved us? We trust those that we see and when that is broken we automatically put up walls and don't let anybody else near until we fully believe they are capable of handling all of us. Why is it so hard to trust someone we can't see?
Here's a thought: Shouldn't God be the one NOT to trust us? We as humans screw up on a daily basis...and some of us royally! We have made mistakes from the beginning of time and yet, he still loves and still wants us as his children. He knows that it is hard to trust someone you can't see but that is why he forgives us everytime we cry out in frustration. He understands that sometimes we need just to vent to him and he knows we don't mean it. I think it is amazing that he sent his son for us when we really don't deserve his trust.
As hard as it is we NEED to trust him and believe in each situation he is going to work all things for our good! Whether it's the answer we want or not it's what's best. So even though it's a hard concept at times...think about it....he trusts us when we don't deserve it, shouldn't we be able to trust him?
