For me it is very hard to trust people. It seems that they are always saying that they are going to do something and then they do not do it. Many times people will say they will do something and I only half way believe that they will follow through. Then when they do I am pleasantly surprised. The sad part about all this that I think it makes it hard to trust in God. I do not know why this is so – maybe because man is made in the image of God and so if we are in God’s image and man is not trustworthy then maybe God is not trustworthy. I know, I know. There is a flaw in that kind of thinking. So as I was reading today, I came across this blog talking about trust and I think it helped me understand the concept of trusting God.
This is why it is hard to trust. We can trust Him to do anything, all things, great things. However, He doesn’t always do our thing…… He won’t take away every pain. He allows many things for reasons beyond my understanding. Yet, when circumstances seem like more than we can bear, He leans in and whispers, “Here’s my Hand. Through the pain and suffering, hold tight. I’m not going anywhere.”And He doesn’t. That I can trust. – Cherish the Call Blog
“Our thing”… am I wanting to be in control of God causing me to falter in my trust in Him. Am I trusting God for the wrong thing – that is to make my life a comfortable life with no hardships? There is much to think over here…..so my prayer today is for God to help me to know that He is here – right beside me all the time no matter what and to help me trust Him more and more each minute of the day.
