TRUST

Proverbs 3:5-8 GNB
(5) Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.
(6) Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.
(7) Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the LORD and refuse to do wrong.
(8) If you do, it will be like good medicine, healing your wounds and easing your pains.

The word trust is small with large implications.
Some form of it is often in the name of financial institutions, companies, and other businesses. For example, a billboard may read Fidelity Mortgage,or Trust Savings Bank. You may even see a truck with Trust Towing Service written on the sides.
Whatever the service industry,the bottom line is that they want our patronage and hope their name will instill assurance of their ability to supply good service.

Webster’s II New Riverside Dictionary definitions for trust include Firm reliance in the honesty,dependability,strength or character of someone or something; one in which faith or confidence is placed.

I believe as a country we have discovered that the very institutions we placed our trust in,have failed and although well intentioned, sometimes the people we love have and will let us down.
Let’s face it,we too have and most likely will fall short of our own expectations as well as those of others.

Proverbs 3:5&6 encourages us to place our trust in the one person who can never fail. Including the Lord in all areas of our lives allows us access to His clear direction in which we receive next steps for moving forward.

However, it requires us to let our guards down and realize that no matter how much we think we know,we do not know enough nor do we have all the answers.

The simplicity of choosing to live a life of obedience to God provides peace, healing and satisfaction of the soul that money can never buy.

Live Blessed and Free!
