I’ve been thinking about trust a lot lately.

It all started when someone who should trust me, who knows they can trust me, didn’t really act like they did. Their actions stemmed from their own anxiety and confusion. I understood that. But it still hurt.

The following day, I was still thinking about the incident (i.e. feeling a bit sorry for myself), when all of a sudden God’s voice whispered in my ear, “I know how you feel. Doesn’t feel very good, does it?”

Wow! Talk about a wake-up call!

Here I was, feeling a bit rejected, only to be reminded of how many times I’ve done the very same thing to God — how many, many times I’ve “told” God I don’t trust Him even though I claim to know I can.

Faith and obedience to God — it’s a “trust thing” with the only One who is truly worthy and deserving of our trust: Our Savior.
