Devotion:
Trust,
such a small word with huge implications. If you are alive and
breathing you have dealt
with trust issues. You have either lost other’s trust or they have lost
it in
you; or you have lived a life that is trustworthy and honorable,
allowing
people to place their trust in you.
However, what about the trust we have in God? Trusting in someone or
something you can’t
see is not easy. It takes faith, yet we do it everyday. We put trust in
the car we drive that the
wheels will stay on or the motor will actually turn over and get us to
where we
need to go. We drive over a huge bridge
envisioned, designed, and built by people we don’t know or have never
met. Yet, we drive over it with confidence and
trust that it will keep us safe and not crumble beneath us. I could go
on and on with examples. But, when it comes to God, most of us find it
hard to trust Him. Why? Has He ever failed you before? Has He ever
broken a promise He made? Has He ever done anything to hurt you? The
answer to all of these and more questions
is a resounding and emphatic, “No!” You
may have unjustly blamed Him but the answer is still no! God, your
Creator, loves you more than you could
imagine or comprehend. Why would He want
harm or evil to come to you? He
doesn’t. Of anyone, He has your best
interest at heart, so simply trust Him. He really does care for you.
Daily Prayer:
Dear Father, trust isn’t
easy for me. So I bear my heart to You and
trust You with it. By the power of Your
Holy Spirit, I ask that You would empower me with what I need to trust You with
my whole life, in every area. I will not
keep any part of my heart hidden. I open
up completely to You and trust You with all of my life.
Daily Challenge:
Ask your family or coworkers that you are close to if they think
you are a trustworthy person. Then ask
them why they gave you the answer they gave you. It may be tough but it also may help you
understand a little more about what trust is and may change your perspective.
